Well I ordered a GT on January 16, 2005.
Around April they said I was still 60 in line and it was impossible for me to get one, so I decided I could hapily settle. I am still young and have no worries I would enjoy a performance car in my future, so this V6 was more than enough car for me.
Well today they call (5 minutes ago) and tell me they have a black GT IUP, ICAP, 5spd manual, and It was just a big blow to recieve!
I know when my parents come home they are gonna give me the "You should've waited" "I told you so" speeches. There is little to no hope on trading up, but I just have to relief some pressure.
This is not a good feeling, I almost feel bad for my current Mustang. I know it, and it isnt just a car, so I feel bad not liking it as much as I did before the call.

Well catch you all later. I'll be alright.

 

Dude.
Sorry to hear that. You have a great car though, so dont get so down on yourself. At least you got one. It was a gamble. You could have waited and got nothing, so all the "could-a, would-a, should-a" stuff doesnt really matter at this point.

I was just wondering why they would call you knowing you allready bought something else? Kindda rude of them if you ask me,

CHEER UP MAN!!!

 

Patience is a virtue,

having said that, you can always trade the V6 in a year or two for a shelby

 

hey man dont feel bad. i almost settled for a new jetta gli, although its a nice car, its noting compared to a new mustang, v6 or gt

 

You have a Mustang....that's all that matters IMO

 

Sorry, maybe Im missing something, but didn't you just say you got the GT? :scratch:

 

sorry to hear that but that is a perfect example as to why I never settle for something I really don't want. If you don't get exactly what you wanted in the first place you are never really happy.

 

"having said that, you can always trade the V6 in a year or two for a shelby "

in the mean time - the pony still gallops

 

Brother Manny, ANYONE would feel something in that situation I think.

Funny how we get about cars, isn't it.

You'll have other opportunities. Don't let one take you out. I missed getting a '05 exactly how I wanted it by hours. I have an '06 ordered now and have a build date.

Your day will come. Enjoy your beautiful V6. They have their own unique and gorgeous character - pure 67-68 to me!

 

I'm ok with what I got. It caught me by surprise when they called saying my car is ready.
At 1st I was WTF?
Then I felt like kicking the guy, and he was then saying congrats, how do you like it so far?

They are the same dealer I used to purchase so I would assume they would know and take me out their order records. I suppose it's more anger toward him, and almost teasing me and waving something better in front of my face.
Like I said this is just a temporary feeling (kinda wearing off) just needed to relieve myself here.

Thanks guys

 

Indeed. Especially if you're putting out $20,000...

 

it's too bad they did that to you, but sorry Manny, I'm not going to feel bad for you cause you have a nice 6.

 

Nope don't feel bad for me, I'm all cool now. We should be feeling bad about that guy who called though, or maybe just a bit.
Theres only one thing I would do if I went to Citrus Ford and it wouldn't be to upgrade.

 

A black '05 5-speed is still an awesome car for a young guy still living at home. Like you said, there are more cars in your future.

 

Cant you at least find out what they might do for a trade in? Ya never know.

 

I'm sure they left your name on the order, and whoever called didn't know that you'd already gotten the V6.

I had the same thing happen when I had a 99 GT on order... I ended up needing a car before it came in, so got something else. When the dealer called and told me my GT was in, it was tough to take at first.

 

I know that sick feeling. This is different but I ended up with GHIN (Gotta Have
It Now) when the '89 Probe came out in '88. I can get the "A" plan and I buy
it and then can't sleep 3 straight nights. Then I really grew to love that car and
eventually it gave me trouble so along came the redesigned '94 Stang.

Perhaps you'll really be happy when/if you trade in for the next (albeit slight)
redesigned Mustang GT. Keep driving safe and I hope you get plenty of
opportunities to enjoy mustangs down the road.

 

Turns out my parents said the same thing :scratch:
I don't have my hopes up, but I'll call tommorow. At least if it doesn't work out I have my own car to fall back on

Well goodnight, this is better than therapy btw lol

 

Good luck. and exatcly. -----> At least if it doesn't work out I have my own car to fall back on
