I was planning on ordering my 2005 mustang GT on Saturday. Well I got a call from the Ford dealer today and he told me that there are 8 to 9 orders ahead of me on GT's and that they are only allocated 1 per month. So in effect they are sold out until 2006 MY.

I will start to call some other dealers in the area and see if they have the same story. If I can't find a dealer with less orders ahead of me or a bigger allocation I may have to wait for 2006 MY

Anyone else order in the last week or ordering soon? What has the dealer told you for a wait time??

 

Where you from?

 

you basically have two choices if you want an '05 GT then:

1) Find another dealer who doesn't have that kind of backlog so you can order one.

2) Find one on a lot. You can search yourself using the "Search Dealer Inventory" function on Ford's Mustang website page http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/ It works pretty well, although not every dealer's inventory is listed.

 

Take a ride over to toronto. Whiteoak and summitt ford have lots of gt's for ya.

 

You wouldn't be the first person who had to road trip to get their car quickly.
Find one on a lot, make friends with the sales manager, and convince someone to drive you over.
If I remember, someone took a cheap flight to pick-up their car.
Just make sure everything is in order BEFORE you leave to get the car.

 

And check out the stripes and hoods! I knew dealers were doing that to the V6s to move them off the lot but why the GTs? So they can tack on a couple grand extra? Nice lineup. I can't even find a single one to test drive in my area!

I forgot to mention that I have X-plan...buying now isn't really an option...i must order

There are dealers out there selling off the lot on x-plan. They're few and far between but it is possible to find one.

 

we got 4 GT's at my dealership its like a new one arrives weekly

 

Before I ordered my Mustang back in October I talked to one dealer that told me Ford had a backlog of Mustang orders so if I ordered one it would take six months to a year before I would get the car. I called another dealer and was told it would take six weeks.
I placed my order that day (Oct 20) and got the car on Dec 27 (eight weeks).

I got my car at x-plan as well so I had to order the car to get the lower price.

 

sombody steal me that yellow gt

If I were you, I'd contact "Karpro" he's a dealer in Upstate N.Y. who sells ALL his cars at $200.00 below invoice. It's not that far away!

 

The yellow GT looks good but are those not Mach 1 stripes ? so it would not be what it is ?

 

I know of two GTs sitting in the used car lot at Cavalier Ford in Chesapeake, VA. One is a Sonic Blue I looked at it awhile back, it has IUP dark leather interior, 5 speed manual with bullits. The other is red but didn't look inside only saw that one while driving by today. Have no idea why they are in Cavaliers used car lot.

 

They were probably already sold and just keeping them on the used lot till the owners picked them up.

 

NO the Sonic Blue one has been on the lot for over two weeks. I just made a thread about the two cars. A responder found their website and it says they are asking a little less than $34,000.00 with 1000+ miles on it. They can keep it.

 

That's 15 minutes from me. Not a big fan of the stripe packages. If you put on a shaker with the Mach 1 stripe package would look good, but kinda plain without.

Boomer has seen one of summit's cars running around.
