AFBLUE

06 year ends in June, wow. is that when it normally does?

V10

In the good old days it was end of July, beginning of August.

Recently the model change overs run anywhere from May to September (different times for different vehicles), so there really no longer is a "normal" changeover date.

RaGsHoCkEy88

its probably because of the SE's

StangNut

Some of the 2007 trucks will start production in February!!
Weird.

Boomer

Yeah thats earlier than the last 2 years...

06 a short run?
Hrmmmm

BLT2RUN

That's odd. It's usually in August or late July. The Summer Shutdown in July usually allows for any changeovers. Since the '07 Mustang is virtually the same, they probably don't need the changeover time. Maybe the date is pulled ahead to start getting the '07 GT500 (Cobra) out for the summer.

Feel bad for the people that ordering one now....If i was going to order one maybe I would wait for the 2007s in 4 months .JT

ISELLFORD

With a Job#1 of 6/5, you won;t see many cars until July or August anyway since the plants usually close for 2 weeks around the 4th of July. Also at Job #1 the allocation numbers are usually so small that there will not be that many GT's to go around. Even if a person were lucky enough to get one of the 1st ones, that's still at least 8 months from now.

Well ISELLFORDS you might be one of the few good dealers on this site and very happy you are letting everyone know what is going on.....
Most dealers in the Northeast don't have GTs in Stock and many have not seen any yet.(Hummm 4 months i would think most dealers would see some?}But everyone has V6s...
Only thing I am saying if it was my hard earned money and there were no GTs in stock at any local dealers,I would wait till March so I can order a 07 GT.
If I order a 06 GT now maybe a Local deal MIGHT see the car by April or May in the Northeast.
But if I am spending $30,000 for a car I would ratter wait 2 or 3 months and get a 07 GT from a big dealer like you or some other big dealer in the south.
Thats why I didnot Get a 2005 GT in July because I knew I would have my 06 GT in early Sept...JohnnyT

Thanks for the update!! Does that include all models, even the GT500?

The weirdest is '07 Taurus production.
Job 1 in April '06 and Balance Out in August '06.

Intro'd, built and gone well before we even hit 2007!

Best to wait till march and order a 07 gt.....Unless you shop around you can still find a deal on a 06 Gt on a dealers lot.......Jt

05stangkc

I hope the GT/CS Specs are Out by March.If it Looks Like I think it will I will be Trading Up!

kc

mr-mstng

I've seen a few dealers in NEPA that have GT on the lots. Give it until Jan, then they'll be eager to move them.

AFBLUE

Maybe even Dec. Not sure if it's true but I read that dealers like to clear out their inventories prior to 1 Jan for tax reasons I'm sure ISELLFORDS can answer that one.

johnnytuinals

Yep there are some dealers but few that have Gts in the northeast,,,,But what are they charging???I am sure its not under sticker....JT
