I ordered an 06 in early July. People have ordered GTs way after me and are already taking delivery - i'm still waiting for a build date! how long has everyone been waiting for an 06?

The bottom line is what's your dealer allocation and how many are ahead of you?
There are plenty of GTs on Ebay at MSRP. Shop around.

Ordered on 9/9/05, VIN'd on 9/15/05, and got build week of 10/10/05..... so, very fast in my opinion. What priority number is on your VOC? I would go back to the dealer and ask him what is going on ?? Unless the dealer you ordered from is a small dealer with very little allocation ??

I'm priority 12 on my VOC. I was second in line for a GT now i'm #1 apparently. The dealer is Schultz in Nanuet, NY - fairly high volume for the area.
I read a while ago that the northeast was getting hosed on GT allocations, is this still the case?

No way am I paying MSRP, I have a plan price locked in. Maybe that's why I'm getting hosed?

That could be what's happening with your X-plan. Most of the dealers out West claim that they can get a GT in 6-8 weeks if you pay MSRP or MSRP plus. I know that there are a lot of people on here that have been waiting for months.
You should talk to ISELLFORD who is a dealer in the Chicago who will get you a GT at the X-plan price. It might take 2-3 months.

From a legal standpoint, your dealer MUST refund your deposit. I would talk to the owner about it. When I ordered my GT the dealer wanted a $1000 non refundable deposit. I said no way, and they offered a $500 refundable deposit.
You need to ask your dealer when is the next GT allocation going to you, otherwise you may be waiting for a long time.

I've been waiting since June and still do not have a build date. I'm just outside of Toronto, any word on Canadian orders?
There's not many GT's on the road around here yet.

Canada - tough to get GT's, esp GT manuals.
My car took 6 months to the day from order to delivery. Just picked it up last Friday - it had just about every "impossible to get" option...but it's finally here.
Check with your dealer on their allocation of GTs...where is your dealer exactly? I got my Mustang from a dealer just between London and Woodstock.

Is there a difference between how many orders a dealer can put in vs. how many stock cars they get? I was apparently "next in line" and Ford.com shows two vert GTs either at or headed to my dealer. What's up with that?
