5 months & a day ago We ordered a Sonic Blue GT from the local dealer on X-plan. After the change over to 06 they told me they wern't going to honor my Feb. price guarantee & they had no allocation left to order me an 06. 
Saturday I went to an out of town dealer & bought one off of the lot for a little under MSRP. 
Picked it up last night. I'm starting to really like it.

Another 'choose your dealer wisely' story. My local Ford dealer has a salesperson I really like, and many of my co-workers have gone through her for good deals. On the Mustang, she couldn't do anything for me, since her boss is insisting they can make 3k per car over MSRP. I went out of town and got a great deal on a remaining 05 allocation from a dealer who was willing to work with me. He understood that his 05 allocation wasn't that big of a deal, since the 06's were going to be available within a few months. In an amusing twist, my local dealer is piling up Mustangs on the lot (Red GT-auto still sitting there after a few weeks and a 3k over MSRP tag on it). I hope the cost of maintaining inventory isn't making him too uncomfortable. 
Personally, I like Mineral Grey better than the Sonic Blue, so I think you made the right call, Ernie. Congratulations!

The first dealer was Rock River Ford in Rockford Il. I thought they were just telling me "No allocation for 06s" because they wanted to sell mine for more money. I called Ford customer service & they told me the same thing. The other real bad thing they did to me was I left my trade in the day we made the deal.
The dealer I ended up buying from was Central Ford in South Beloit . They started out at $3000 over MSRP. I told them I was pretty sure those days were over when Ford anounced the deal with Carol Shelby. Anybody willing to pay the extra coin would wait for a Shelby & Ford was going to double the GT production in August. The wait would soon be over. I told them they probably should turn it real quick & earn more allocation. They had had it only 3 days. I ended up $500 under MSRP. Still a long way from my Feb. x-plan price.
Thanks for all of the "congratulations!" I'm glad everybody seems to like the stripes. I also put sequential turn signals on the back.
