Well, today I did it. Ordered my first new car.
The dealer has a Torch Red on the floor that financing fell through on, and they tried to make me a "last tax day deal". But it had the wrong wheels, no spoiler, black stripes and no IUP. Too many headaches to chase the parts to make it the way I want and the deal was only invoice.
So I took the leap and ordered. 8 weeks to delivery.
I certainly learned a lot from this site, and thanks to all who answered my questions and offered input.

Where did you order from? Sounds like Inskeep Ford in Greenfield, as they have a torch red on the floor.
I ordered my vert from Innskeep on 2/07/05, they told me 3 months.
Congrats on your order.

6-8 weeks, good news but don't hold your breath. I'm in week 14 waiting on a V6 coupe. This is my first "new" car purchase too! 28 years and finally getting one of my dream rides, can't wait!

Yep - Inskeep. Jeremy showed me the list of people in front of me. I think there were two convertibles and four other Mustangs. Too bad I didn't order last week before the price went up. Cost me another $300.
The convertibles really look nice. If I didn't already have one, that is what I would have gone for...

I am just crossing my fingers that Innskeep is a good dealership to deal with. So far, I believe, they have been honest with me. Just hope they have the appropriate allocation since they are a smaller dealership.
They would not bargain with me off MSRP, but they do not add a dealer markup either. They also accept X plan out there, where I can't find an Indianapolis dealer to accept this plan.
Now to just wait for delivery.

I checked around with a few of the locals who have done business with Inskeep and all the feedback was positive, especially from one person who got a GT there last fall. He was very happy with the treatment and communication during the process.

Congrats on your order!
Don't mean to burst your bubble, however I was told 6-8 weeks too. Ordered 12-6-04, got build date yesterday of 3-21-05. If they ship immediately and it makes it here a week after it's built, thats let's see .... 17 weeks. The way I look at it, if it's the car you want and you can wait for it, do it.
