man id really love to go out and order my 05 GT in WB and dark charcoal....but im somewhat hesitant as to me getting my xplan (alot of dorky dealers not wanting to touch me for that) and because of these tiny little bugs...like after 1,000 miles or less sometimes the CEL comes on due to the ignition i think it was? and im always hesitant on 1st years of new model cars for them to work out the kinks....the new 05 GT is freakin awesome the way it is and has come along way from its almost now ancient SN95 2nd gen brethern....im kinda thinking to wait to the point where i can order an 06 GT....anyone know aprox. when theyll start making the 06 models or taking pre-orders for those? i know base invoice on a 05 GT is about 22k...and id want to get it for around that price because im not looking for anything fancy...just 4.6L motor/5spd/body....id like to have leather but i dont think i could because id have to go thru the IUP or have it be a premium gt? it stinks that we cant mix and match options like back in the 60s where EVERY stang then was basically an individual ![Frown](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
ps - anyone know how long the WB color will actually last on ford's lineup...because darn i want that color soo bad lol

I would recommend that you Purchase Your Mustang from the Dealer to whom you would want to Service It! If you ever Have a Problem with the car it gives you Leverage to Get it Fixed Quickly! Also Cars Purchased via the Internet and Picked Up at a Dealer Leaves a Bad Taste in the Dealerships Mouth when it comes time to Ask for a favor! If you Have a Concern right about the Time Your Warranty Expired they are More Likely to Help You if you are a Loyal Customer! Shop some Dealers get the best deal in writing and Then Take you Best Deal to The Dealer you TRUST to Service your Baby and Finalize the Deal! FYI Out here in California Many but not All Dealers will Not d or x-plan Mustangs right now! Also many are Marking up as High as $4000.00 on v6 and 5000.00 on GT's. Oh by the Way I work at a FLM Dealer as a Parts Manager! Got my Gt D-Plan but would Have Paid Sticker Gladly!!!!!!!

so about this comming fall or?

...and it's only because of the '05 Mustang!
So, if anybody can provide a reasonable guestimate, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

They opened the banks for the '05 in early summer. I would guess august for the '06s...as long as they have orders, they will keep producing them. I doubt they will change many things between '05 and '06. Just the bugs, and those they will change on the way through. I wouldn't expect a "refresh" until '07 or '08 atleast.

Maybe they'll have some other options too. Like maybe a different grill option in the front for the GT for those that don't like the fog lights. And maybe different (larger) wheels for the V6?

As far behind as Ford is on the 05's There will Probably be a Bunch of 05's on the Lots Right Before the 06's Hit! Might find some Bargains Then!

Leather and IUP have nothing to do with each other. You can get a car with cloth and IUP or you can get a car with leather an no IUP, or any other combonation.
