Well, I was planning on waiting until Spring '06 to order. But with all the rumors (and facts) of parts shortages, possibly My Color not being offered, and price increases, I got my order in today.

05 GT 5-Spd
Torch Red
IUP
ICAP
Side Airbags

$27264 out the door includes 6% sales tax, $75 for tags, and a $399 'dealer prep fee' (dealer profit). That prep fee is a load of crap but ALL the dealers I've found charge something similar here in FL. Do you guys think I got a good deal?

One thing that caught me off guard was a Florida Ford Advertising Fund. It showed up on the dealer's invoice. They said it was something that Ford charges the dealers on the cars sold to them. I know a lot of corporations charge their franchises something like this, but I've never heard of this when buying a car.

I signed anyway, does it sound like I got took?

Oh, well, Congrats to me!

 

all sounds good , except for the Florida Ford Advertising Fund i ordered my stang back in Oct and had no such thing on my invoice and i live in Florida. other than that good luck and now the wait begins

 

Recheck your invoice, there will most likely be a FDAF charge of about $240.

 

nope nothing

Yep, that's what mine was.

 

do you have X plan?

 

Nope, No X-Plan, not unless you mean my for my wife.

 

well i was asking because i got my car under X plan and i remember he crossed somthing out saying i wouldnt need it under the X plan to save more money maybe that was the something

 

That's probably what it was, or one of the other dealer markups. But it makes sense that Ford wouldn't charge the dealer for marketing on an x-plan.

That's Too Damned Funny..... I've had a few of those in my day! Congrats on the order......just like the 'Jay Leno' model . I deleted side air bags and spoiler on mine

 

Thanks, in all actually I'm really lucky to have my wife. Afterall, she let me order my '05! I just wish I knew for sure if I got the best deal. I guess that happens everytime you buy a car.

 

I hope your wait is shorter than mine B)

 

Congrats on your order & hope the wait goes fast.

 

Good luck with your order! Hope things will go smoothly for you.
