Replying to: rheller (Feb 13, 2007 4:37 pm) For is not building this car for 2009. It is only a two year production and 2008 will be it! After that they will come out with other models. The Bullitt and the Boss will be next. You also have a valid concern with the dealer going out of business. There are dealers closing left and right and Ford wants to cut down at least on a third of the current dealerships. Big and small, many are closing. Some from going broke and some taking buyouts from Ford to close. As far as allocation, every dealer will get the exact same allocation they got for 2007. So unless the dealer can GUARANTEE you are to get one, do NOT give them a deposit. That would be foolish! I don't understand why dealers are doing that, taking a bunch of deposits on cars they KNOW they are not going to ever get! That is just BAD business practice! I heard one dealer took deposits from more than 30 customers when knowing they would never get near that many! As far as allocation goes. Every dealer that enrolled for 2007 and paid the $1500 enrollment fee will get at least ONE Shelby GT500. Every dealer that was an SVT Focus dealer will get one for that for a total of TWO. Every dealer that is a full line SVT Dealer will get two for that for a total of THREE. Every dealer that was a 2005 Presidential Award Winner got one for that for a total of TWO. So a Presidential Award Winning dealer that was an SVT Focus dealer would get THREE. A Presidential Award Winning dealer that is a full line SVT dealer will get FOUR. After the total available allocation of 8k - 9k units for each year, 2007 and 2008, have been distributed based on the above allocation, then any remaining units left will be distributed based on share of nation. Meaning high volumn dealers that sold the most mustangs in the prior year COULD, MIGHT, MAYBE, will get an extra unit or two. When we take a deposit on one of these the customer is GUARANTEED to get the car, period! Our dealer only gets two and we would only take a deposit from only two buyers. As far as moving up if someone ahead of you was to back out...think about it! Would YOU back out and lose a $5k deposit??? Heck no! If someone had a problem that came up where they couldn't complete the sale they would just find a buyer themselves to sell their right to buy the car in their place. I have seen people do this by listing their right to buy the car on e-bay. So DON'T be a fool and fall for that! Find a dealer that has the allocation and the car has not been spoken for and they can GUARANTEE you get the car! Get a signed purchase agreement in exchange for your deposit! READ IT CAREFULLY! And if you found some dealers willing to sell one to you for only $10k over that is a heck of a deal! I would jump on it! I'm a dealer and I can't find a dealer willing to sell me one for that! The best I have found is $15k over.

Replying to: fastforagirl (Feb 14, 2007 7:00 am) So you may see it the week of 2/23 or it could be up to a few weeks longer. It is completely out of the dealers control as to when it will actually get there. Regardless, you will have before spring. We have one coming and the ETA was 1/29 and it still is not here. But it was built on 1/18. As of today, 2/14 it's still not here and we don't know when it will get here. |
