Your dealer has likely misunderstood the July closing of the factory. The Flatrock, MI plant that builds the Mustang is closed for most of July so they can ready production of the 2014 Fusion there. The plant reopens in about a month and will continue building 2014 Mustangs and will start building 2014 Fusions, as well.

Hi guys, been lurking the forum for a while and this is my first post. Anyways, my question is, when will 2014 orders close? If there is not an exact date set in stone, what would the estimated time be? I am looking to buy this winter, possibly next spring. I'd say my timeframe is November to about March, but I would like the best value for my money and really like the current styling so have decided to go with a 2014. I'd like a base auto GT with Brembo package for sure, possibly Recaros. A dealer told me if I want these my best bet will be to order, looks like this is true. Thanks for your help!
Welcome to the forum! My name is Deysha with Ford Service. There’s no official cutoff date yet. It has been towards the end of the year, but nothing in stone yet. If you’re looking to order a 2014, I recommend you speak to your dealer as soon as possible.
The longer you wait, the more limited your choices will be. If you will be able to pay in Nov/Dec, why don't you buy the one you want now on a loan, then payoff the loan in full in Nov/Dec? There aren't any prepayment penalties with most lenders. Paying a little bit of interest to get exactly what you want is a good trade off, IMO.
Hogwash - your dealer has no idea what they're talking about. I order all of the cars for the dealer I work for. As a Mustang enthusiast, I am always looking for any clues as to when the 14/15 changeover will occur. Ford has not informed us dealers as to when 14 ordering is over.

Thanks for the help guys! I would really like to order now but this will be my first car and I won't have my license until next year so right now is a bit too early. Since I will not be given a car I have been working hard and saving up my money like crazy, and I will be paying in full with the money I've earned when the time comes! I'm sure it will feel great to own my mustang in a few months, especially since I've been working so long and hard for it. I'm sure I'll take care of it and respect it. Looks like I'll probably have to pick something out that's on the lot somewhere, hopefully I'll be able to get an auto GT Brembos and Recaros for a good price. Also, if anyone wants to check out how I've made money here is a link to the items I've sold on ebay in the past couple of months http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=...H_Sold=1&rt=nc
Thanks again for the help.

Do you really have to order? Here is my prediction... The 2015 will sell so hot that you will have a plethora of 2014's on the lot, either because they didn't move or because they were traded in. If you are willing to wait until you have the money, then be patient and do a search and you won't have to go too far to find the right car. . A GT is not an uncommon car. Brembos can also be an aftermarket upgrade. If you are buying a Mustang, and stick around on this forum you will no doubt find other things you want to do to it anyway.
Good luck, and welcome to the community

Some people would like to wait until they get the "bugs" worked out of the S550, or don't know what's coming and want to get what's known, or would like to cash in on the rebates now, or get the solid rear axle while they can, or other reasons. I'd love that that independent rear, lighter S550, but I remember how much trouble the S197 was it's first year out. Plus, it may just be ugly...not likely, but it could. Whatever the reason, it ain't being a putz if folks rush to get one of the last S197s.

I just done think anyone needs to rush to buy anything. If they were discontinuing the Mustang line completely, maybe, but remember, those of us who are still in the retro camp are supposedly a dying breed. They are going after a broader market with the S550, and despite your own opinions about it, I would bet one of my kidneys that a MY 2014 will be easily had either new on the lot or with very low miles well into 2014. There are always people who either have to trade up for the latest and greatest, or those who bought a car and realize two months later how much insurance, fuel, tires, and financing actually cost, or life happens and up goes the For Sale sign.
