I am pleased to announce that I am the proud owner of a brand spanking new
'05 White Mustang GT! It's an early 50th B'day present to myself. (B'day is in Dec).
Love the car!! Found it on-line, then went to dealership to check it out 2 weeks ago.
Ordered one at local dealership, didn't like that they wouldn't accept X-Plan, so cancelled order the very next day, and drove 50 miles to see white Stang I'd already checked out. Told the sales guy that if price was right and they accepted X-Plan, I just might drive this car off their lot that night! And that's exactly what I did! Great people at this dealership....Mike Patton Ford in Opelika, AL. The Car didn't have everything I wanted, but was real close. I knew if I wanted to get an '05(not an '06), I might as well get this one. I'm glad I did. Hubby likes it, too,and I may let him drive it sometimes. Good Luck to all you Stang fans in ordering your cars.

Congrats!

So what options did you get, and what options do you wish it had?

The options that were on the car were the auto trans and wheel locking kit. I wanted the ISAP, and anti-theft, but this car was close enough to the real thing without having to order. I like this one even without those options. I'm thinking of putting an XM/AM/FM radio in it, so I'm glad it didn't have the Shaker. I'd love to have more speakers(only has 4) but I guess they can be added later.
I see you got the yellow one? I wanted that to start with, but the white kept pulling me to it. It's a beautiful car...I have the only white one in town.

Congrats! I gave myself one for Christmas. At first I wasn't sure on the white, but then I saw it in person and knew that's what I had to have. Enjoy

Happy pre-50 Carol, and nice present. I'm turning 49 in about 6 weeks, but what the heck.....I treated myself anyway.

Happy Pre-B'day yourself, Kevin.....love the red Stangs! Red is my all time favorite color, but I'm more partial to the white Stangs. Great choice for you, though! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. IF I can keep hubby away from her :nono: , I WILL enjoy it alot!
