Replying to: graphicguy (Mar 23, 2005 12:50 pm) First convertible, First time that will be paying MRSP, First time registering to join forum (read many often), First time didn't have all the answers before starting the car buying process. Thanks to the graphicguy and others on the purchase info. I have question. I was so pumped when went to the Ford Dealer (Tuesday night) that I ordered right then and there. A GT with everything (except the 1000 watt). Bottomline, tuned into this forum last night (Wednesday) and then checked my VOC and found out it's listed #99. So, I am calling dealer this morning. I'll ask on the allocation. Also, do you think order will have to be cancelled and reinput to get the higher priority? I'm in the Granite state, called 7 dealers (including Boston area dealer), all said no GT conv available, need order, will be MSRP, delivery Mid June to July. Hoping that not too late. By the sounds, might not see anything till the fall.

Replying to: gtforme2 (Mar 31, 2005 3:16 am) Rainy winter? Hopefully, that means we will be getting some mighty fine wines out of that rain in the next year or two. BTW, I love northern CA. I'm in the Bay Area for work about once/mo. Love it. gtforme....you definitely want your dealer to change your priority from "99". If it stays there, you'll never get your car. Again, insist on a priority of "10". You definitely want to know your dealer's allocation for April/May. IF they don't have any, go to another dealer who has allocation and will order yours with a priority "10". Supply is tight for the GTs, in any flavor. Even though Ford had upped production to 150,000 units for MY '05 over 140,000 units for MY '04, demand still outstrips supply. A few weeks ago, Ford upped production again to 180,000-185,000 units for MY '05. It's not clear yet whether even that elevated number will meet the strong demand for the '05 Mustang. As a result of this demand, dealers are selling any and all GTs and convertibles they can get their hands on. Lots or crazy stories on other boards about dealers taking customer orders and selling them for more than agreed prices to other people, charging well above MSRP, etc. Take a walk over to E-Bay and take a look at what some people/dealers are doing....adding different wheels/tires/striping....calling them "special editions" and charging more than MSRP. GT convertibles are being bid "over MSRP", too. Best thing to do is arm yourself with knowledge and take that knowledge to a dealer you feel you can trust. Then, stay on top of them regarding your order. |

If this car wasn't so much fun, it would be tempting to cash in on eBay or a local ad and make a profit. I can't get over the engineering Ford put into this car. I feel for you guys who have to order and hope you get it. I was one of the lucky ones whose dealer had what I wanted and didn't play games. I payed MSRP, but that is the price for being an early adopter. Hang in there and hopefully you can get your car with some summer left to enjoy it. |

| Today my dad finalized his Mustang. Since he wanted to customize it he ordered his. He got a premium V6 with leather, Interior upgrade package, front seat side mounted airbags and wheel locks. Msrp on the car is 23,930. We get in 6-8 weeks. Edmunds says expect to pay MSRP the car cost us 22,359. We got the discount because he works for American Express and got a big discount but most dealer do not oblide by it when it comes to a car in such high demand. The dealer was very profesional and it was a very good atmopshere. The dealer is Elmwood Ford In Elmwood Park, New Jersey on route 4 (broadway) if your interested in a mustang or any Ford I would give them a look. | |

Question for those buying convertibles. Do they offer a roll bar as an option? Did you buy a roll bar? Loren |
|
| You gotta keep your convertible right-side-up at all times according to the owners manual... there is no roll bar. | |

Just wondering if anyone else is waiting as long as I have on my 05 Mustang GT... Ordered early Nov. 04...Premium, Torch Red, Charcoal Interior with Interior Upgrade Package...500 Watt Stereo. Rec'd a call from my dealer about 3 weeks ago after bugging them about my order, they are telling me that the car has not even hit a production schedule yet, they can't tell me where it is at in line for production! 6 months later......any suggestions? Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Was told another guy ordered his 2 months before me and he still doesn't have his.....I'm really feeling like I'm getting a run-around. Thank goodness I have a sweet purple 1996 Mustang GT with only 43,000 miles on it to drive while I wait for the new one.....HELP!!! Thanks for any suggestions.... Waiting......in Wisconsin!!!
