the dealer closest to my house according to ford's inventory locator has three 05's 2 manual gt's and an auto v6 now im very excited about this but i stopped in yesturday and they dont have any and they say they wont have any until they sell all there 04's and that they arent expecting them until mid november maybe as late as december! does anyone know if they are just misinformed and the 05's are on their way or is fords inventory wrong?

 

Not sure, but I'd probably find a more informed dealer. Good luck.

 

Went throught the build your car on the Ford site, proceeded to list all the Ford dealerships close in the Houston area with several 05s each when I know they don't have any. Maybe that is their future allotment.

 

My understanding (from Mazda practice) is that once a vehicle is "shipped" from the manufacturer, it shows up on the dealer inventory.

 

I concur, that's what I heard from several dealers in ATL and DET.

 

so then chances are they are on their way?
