Frank, how are you liking the cloth? That's something I'm considering, but I can't see it first hand 'cause the dealers keep getting leather interiors.

Wait - what is that I see - hold on .............

Yes I was right - I had to drag the picture off to my desk top and blow it up.

Yes it is an imperfection and I am sure you don't want that.

Pay it off - sign the title - put the title in the glove box and ship me the car. I am the type that can deal with less than perfect.

Message me for my address.




(this ***may*** not work but it is worth a shot)

Frank....this must be a canadian only thing where you get IUP, but cloth seats? I'm pretty sure (not positive), that the US version is with leather seats if you get the IUP.

According to the brochure, the cloth seats are standard on all versions but the GT Premium, which of course is leather. The IUP is independent and can be ordered on any model, any trim, any seats. None the less, those seats do look tip-top for cloth seats!

What he said. And by the way, I have charcoal cloth also, and I love the cloth seats. Great quality and very comfortable. I live in south Louisiana, so there was no way I was getting leather. Especially black leather since I wanted a dark interior.

Frank, the car looks amazing! Man, it almost looks like a slightly darker torch in that light. Gotta love metallic colour changes.

These are the best looking mineral grey pics I've seen yet. Looks really good.

I'd think about upgrading to the 18" bullitts with wider rubber, though.

Thanks. And I was thinking about upgrading to 18" bullitts with wider rubber. But the wife gave me a strict aftermarket budget. And just don't have it in the budget to be getting new wheels. I will be putting 275's all the way around as soon as I can. I read on a tire site that you can put 275's on 7.5" to 9.5" wide wheels, so they should fit the stock 17"x8" wheels fine. I personally don't mind the smaller wheels. Keeps it looking retro. The older Mustangs had 15" wheels I believe, and looked fine. I personally like a bigger sidewall tall. But that's just my preference.

Here's my new baby in Sonic Blue. I've had it for a little more than 2 weeks, now, and loving every minute of it!

Barjon,
did you order (if so when) or did you by it off the showroom floor?

HorsC, I was very lucky. I had absolutely no intention of buying a new car, but when I sat in an '05 Mustang for the first time, I fell in love.

Searching local dealer inventory from fordvehicles.com, I found the exact car I would have wanted (V6 Premium in Sonic Blue with Dark Charcoal leather, fully loaded, except for 1,000-watt sound system) at the dealer I purchased my 2000 Taurus from. It was their only '05 Mustang. I looked at that online listing every day for a week before I got up the nerve to email an inquiry about the car. I received a reply later that day. To my surprise, I was told the car hadn't actually arrived yet, that it was expected any day, and that it was not yet spoken for. That made up my mind, it's MY car! The next day I went to that dealer and left a deposit.

Two days later it arrived in the late afternoon, and I ran right over after work for a test drive. Many at the dealership were surprised when, after being told they can't drive the new Mustang because it's SOLD, I was handed the keys and began to put this beauty through its paces. A couple of days later, I took it home.

When I returned to the dealer to pick up my plates a week later, one of the salesmen told me they had at least 30 people come in asking to see the '05 Sonic Blue Mustang.
