| If they're now selling for $500 over invoice what's the time lag between ordering a Mustang GT automatic and the actual delivery? | |

Part of the profit Ford looks to make on the car is in the auto trans. There is also a limit to what Tremec can supply. The 18 inch wheels are even more limited. You can call around and ask dealers now much over invoice they are willing to place an order for. Make sure that the dealer actually has allocation or the car will never get scheduled. Also, make sure that the dealer gives it a priority of 10 which is the highest priority. Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 24, 2007 2:25 pm) Any idea of the lead time? I'm guessing 6-8 weeks. Do you think it makes a difference whether I order in mid-Feb or late March? I'd rather order in March, but I'd move it up if it's worthwhile. |

its probably at least 8 weeks for a Manual tranny. The key is to make sure you order from a dealer WITH allocation. If the dealer does not have allocation the car will never get built. If you want 18 inch wheels, it might even be a longer wait. Dealers are only allowed to order a small percentage of cars with 18 inch wheels. Mark. |

| FYI, today's Houston Chronicle has an ad for Mac Haik Ford showing several new 2007 Deluxe GT Mustangs with unbelieveably low price of $20,488. 4 stock numbers listed. 2 of which were found in dealer's online inventory. No factory options to speak of. Ad claims no add-ons. | |

There's a Texas dealer that often has Mustangs on Ebay (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name them here). They typically have BuyItNow prices that look pretty good. Anyone have any opinion of them pro/con? John |

New means it was never ever titled before. You can find this out by running a car fax if you have the vin. Mark. |

Just ordered my Mustang this weekend. Paid $67 over invoice. $33,065.00 paid. MSRP was $36170. Invoice was $32998.00 I was pairing two dealerships off eachother and got the same price from both. But Wickstrom Ford in Barrington, IL definitely treated me with class. The other dealership was used car salesmen like. "What is it going take to get you in this car today" 2007 Mustang GT Premium Convertible. Comfort group, Interior upgrade, Trim package, 18" polished wheels, cloth convertible top, 3.55 limited slip diff., Wheel lock kit, Anti-theft alarm, Convert. soft boot, and Air bags. They told me it would be here in 4 to 8 weeks. Going to feel like a long time.

Replying to: grumblesdclown (Jan 29, 2007 4:28 pm) In regards to ordering it, the dealership told me becuase they are a Blue Oval Certified and Presidents Award (Top 2% of all ford dealerships for customer service) winner, that they are allocated more cars then most dealers. So I should get my car in 4-8 weeks. I have no proof that this is true but so far they have been a great dealership to deal with. |
