Just noticed that my local dealer (is a fairly reputable one) has some sort of Sept 6th date to reveal the Mustang. Might be just advertising but who knows.

Ford just announced today that prices for 05 Mustang will be announced in mid August. Ford has always said, and has not changed, the Job 1 date as September 7.

This is what is usually known as false advertising.

The Job 1 date is Sept. 7. We've seen many sources confirming that including a union web site. BEK also just provided more info confirming that Sept 7 is correct in the other thread.

yeah i dont think that add is correct. if ford is saying job 1 starts sept 7th then its hard for the dealer to have one on their lots on sept 1. and if they were releasing them early im sure ford would have prevented the dealer from releasing it. that or the dealer wants to pay some sort of fine for releasing info

no matter how u look at it people, putting sales like theres here for mustangs now can pretty much garentee they will be gone by the time september rolls around so they will have some room. i still think that they are doing job1 b4 sept 7th but hey we will just have to wait and see.

My dealer told me. I was checking on 05 order, He's a good friend and owner of the dealership it comes from a good source. [/b][/quote]
If somebody who is in the manufacturing industry told you that build dates are coming up soon, they would refer to test runs as "builds"...

There are always several builds in which they specifically try one of the assembly processes and then analyze how it went during the build, then make any modifications to the process if neccessary.

so that could have been what was refered to.

sorry, double post

This is interesting ... I was in my local Ford dealer this weekend also ... Mach 1s marked down to $25000 before rebates. All other Stangs marked down too.

i intially went in to my ford dealer, champion ford out here in katy, tx., back in february. and they had already started to mark the mustangs down. i ordered my car at the end of last month, and the sale was in full swing.

i would believe that they are on sale because they're planning on moving them out of there as quickly as possible. but just because they mark the cars down to the bottom of the barrel doesn't mean they can move X number of cars in a day, or a week. it'll take them a long time to get as much of their stock off the lot. so starting a sale now is just good business sense.

besides, mustangs aren't the only 2005 model vehicles coming in. the trucks and other cars will be ariving too. gotta make room for all that stuff too.

also, once the 05 does hit, i'm thinking the sales on 04's will fall off cause people will be interested in getting the new car. especially once they can tangibly put their hands on it.

i still hope to see my car as soon as possible, and here's to hoping, but i just don't think we'll see anything till late september at the earliest. i think the estimated 'before halloween' for the first orders sounds fair. or at least, that's what i'm prayin for.

I saw a comment on Kelly Blue Book and they said the 2004 prices are being reduced to make sure they can get ride of them before the 2005's come in. They feel that everyone is holding out for an 05, therefore dealers are reducing the 04 price to make them more attractive than the 05.

They are not making production Mustangs until September 7th. I don''t care what kind of deals they had, production does not start until September 7th. Ford has mentioned this about 5 seperate times, and something would have been leaked to indicate it.

gotmy05

I look at it this way the longer i have to wait the longer it will be b-4 someone hits it or dings it or scraches it for me, and I'm not gonna drive mine in the snow or rain so they can hold mine till April 05.

yah thats what they are going for here too. now that ive been thinking about how Ford dropped their prices all over by like $7000 in most cases to sell them; if u think about this at a logical stand point generally every dealer here in Edmonton has about 8-10 2004's all different models and the like sitting there on their lots. as stated previously that is because everyone is wanting to hold out for the new 2005's. so they dropped the price $7000 now (my guess is that the closer we get to september the more money will be taken off the 2004's so that they will be all gone and will have room for their shipments of 2005's). with that being said the mustang models new price tag with it dropping fast, but with people holding out for a 2005 it isnt really hard to believe that from a business stand point dealers will want to get as many 2005s on their lots as possible and they are pretty much giving themselves 2-3 months to sell their 2004s. some might say that might be hard to do in only 2 months, but i took i drive last night because it was so nice out and my local ford dealer (about a mile and a half away from my house) had already sold 3 of their mustangs today alone and they had 8 in total there. i never checked out the other ford dealers but my guess is that they are selling at those ones pretty fast.

as a side note, i also noticed that no cobras here in edmonton are on sale like the other models are. this leads me to believe one thing, that since there wont be any cobras until the 2007 model year that they want to hold on to those models as long as they can to sell at their normal price of ~$38,000 CDN. this might be strategic, this might not be, i dont know. i just think its because they want to still have cobras there on their lots in case someone wants a cobra then the 2005s out on the lots. but this i could be wrong about. i just havent seen a cobra with a sale sign on them like the other mustang models.
