I bought a 2006 Redfire GT Premium on 8/24, the first day of the 0%. Wow! What an awesome car!
 
Black leather interior
IUP - satin silver
18" "Fanblade" wheels
Shaker1000
Side air bags
Wheel locks
Active alarm system
Manual transmission
 
Sticker - $30,345
X-Plan price - $28,064
 
$411 per month after 0% for 72 months and TTL (no other fees are charged with X-Plan).
 
I originally planned on ordering an '07 in March but this deal saved me about $140 per month assuming Ford doesn't offer 0% or some large rebate on an '07 Mustang in March. I highly doubt that will happen. Plus I got a couple of options I wouldn't have ordered due to price so I'm a very, very happy new Mustang owner! It's my first one and I've been waiting a long, long time for it.

paid $400 over invoice on the first day of the 0.0 promotion. Vista Blue with charcoal leather interior, included top boot, chrome tips, side bags, security system and 18 inch alloys. I too had planned on ordering an 07 as I had three dealers that would order one for me at invoice price but the financing tipped me back to the 06. It feels so nice to be back into a car with some muscle and attitude again after too many years driving SUV's !

Here in MA, I've seen base stangs for $16.5k or less. They're asking more for Civics!! That's an amazing deal.

16.5 is way under invoice and there is only a 500 rebate on 07s.
 
would have to be an 06, there is 2k in rebates on a 06.
 
Oh and if you found a dealer that had more than one or two to pick from, you probably don't want to buy from that dealer.

I can't think of a single reason why the above statement would be true...but I'm always willing to learn.
 
Please explain.

#835 of 1124 Reputable dealer by mschmal

Most dealers in the NY/Boston region are out of 06 Mustangs since August.
 
If you see a dealer that has alot of these on the lot, there may be a reason why no one is buying from that dealer.
 
Out of the 300 dealers closest to me, no dealer is showing more than 6 06 Mustangs of all kinds in their inventory.

If it is an 06, it mostly has been sitting on a lot for 6 months or more.
 
Do you really want to purchase as new a vehicle that was sitting on someones lot that long?

Re: "Do you really want to purchase as new a vehicle that was sitting on someones lot that long?"
 
That's a different question than buying a leftover car from a particular dealer, don't you agree?
 
In the end, the dealer is merely a conduit through which you purchase the car. Post-sale, it just doesn't matter what dealer sold it, since it's backed by the manufacturer, not a particular dealer.
 
All IMHO.

#838 of 1124 When do they close the books on ordering the 07's by drolds

Nov 19, 2006 (12:32 am)

and begin accepting 08 orders?? I am considering either a premium GT Convertible or possibly a 08' Shelby, I wonder outloud what kind of production numbers they will produce in 08', anyway......thanks for reading and I hope someone knows the dates.

#839 of 1124 Great End Of Year Deal by u04601

Dec 04, 2006 (9:48 pm)

I went shopping the day before Thanksgiving and test drove a 2007 V6 Mustang. I went buying the day after Thanksgiving and test drove a 2006 GT. Bought the GT for the wife's 50th Bday. The MSRP was $28,875 for the GT Premium with Auto Trans, Interior Upgrade, and Front Seat Side Air Bags. I paid the price that the car was advertised in the newspaper for, $20,488 plus tax and license from Ken Grody Ford of Buena Park, California. Great experience until I got to the Finance office. Make sure that you know what you want and don't ever be afraid to tell them NO when they try to up-sell you on all of the extras.
