I was talking to my ford guy as I do once a week. He prods me to make sure I don't want a 2005 and updates me regularly on his available stock(Holding out for a Titanium 06). Anyway he called me today and had some good news for me. Apparently as of yesterday he is now allowed to order 1 in 3 mustangs with IUP. I'm not sure if that means anything as he is based in Canada and most of you are American. I asked him if he's sure, and he said "Yep word just came down".

Take it for what you will but my family has been buying cars from him for 23 years and he is straightforward and knowledgable. I have persoanlly purchased 6 cars in the last 9 years from him and he always seems to know about every issue/recall and any other important news.

I really did not want to start an IUP thread but this may be important news for some of you that are desperately seeking the IUP and I figured it would get washed out in the other 19 page IUP threads.

 

Coolness. Maybe dad will be getting his GT by late feb. (Ordered 12/07)

 

sweet gotta have IUP

to bad that's Canada...

hey wait... I live in Canada.

 

I too am holding out for a Titainum 06. Did your Ford guy say when ordering of the 06 will begin? My dealer said spring, I'm hoping that means March?

 

I'll be placing my order WITH IUP later today, I'll report what they tell me about it.

 

That’s good news for others although does not matter to me at this point.

 

It goes along with what has been on the forum regarding IUP the last few days regarding cars with IUP are apparently being built this month.

 

According to Karpro (Paul), the commodities of IUP for the first 2 weeks of January are 0%...... This does not indicate to me that they are building any IUP at this point.

 

I think the commodities report refers to this weeks orders being pulled for scheduling. That's the way I understand it anyway.

 

Love that commodities report.........I am almost ready to rder myself......IUP, IUP, IUP, IUP...........................must have :worship:

 

from what some sales guys have said on the site is that IUP will be 30-40% max for the rest of the year,

 

Just got back from the dealer where I anticipated ordering my Mustang. I wasn't able to order with IUP (no surprise) so I didn't order at all. They actually told me that the IUP may not be available until the rest of the year! I told them I'd wait til Feb to see what happens, and that I was willing to wait for MY car to be build the just the way I want it. Just today I was able to build the car at the Fordvehicle.com site WITH IUP; you'd think they'd yank that off the site if it was not going to be available eventually.

 

If it's not going to be avaiable why are they prem. and showing the conv. with the IUP?

 

Confirmed - I just called a second dealer for fun and spoke to the sales manager. He said the exact same thing and said he ordered 4 IUP GT's this morning. He said he was allowed 4 of 10. So pretty close to what my trusted dealer had said earlier.

 

I ordered from a relatively small dealer (friend of the in-laws). Hopefully they will get an IUP allocation soon....
40% of an allocation of 1......hmm

 

I'm not sure why your dealer didn't order the vehicle. I placed an order today with IUP for a customer, we both know it is just going to sit untill the IUP issue is resolved but it reserves his place in line. The system will accept all the IUP orders we want to place, it just won't schedule them currently.

 

Now I'm a bit confused because the dealer said the order would not go through with IUP, but then said they could send the order to Ford, but it would just sit there in Michigan. I'll have to give the dealer a call and get the story straight.

 

He's right it will just sit, but in the mean time you don't want a bunch of other orders to get put in ahead of you. You want to be in line when the IUP availability comes back.

 

Thanks Karpro, I gave the dealer another call, and we'll meet on Friday again to see about placing the order. He'll do some more investigating in the meantime and see what he can find out for me. He did say something about Jan 17th being a cut-off, and that if a car wasn't scheduled by then, it may not get the IUP. Don't know what his source is, but he does work at a dealership.

 

This is the news I received today (I'm in Canada):

New commodity restraints on the upgrade package were announced. For Feb build the commodity is at 30% rather than 50% . For March
it remains at 50%.
