My order cancelled after 10 week wait
#1
I ordered a V6 on March 15. I was assured many times that I would be receiving the car (early June arrival). Today I'm told unless I switch to auto transmission my order will be cancelled. I don't care for automatics, so I declined. Apparently Ford has ran out of standard transmissions for the '05. I'm not sure what my options are. I haven't given up yet. The dealer has done numerious nationwide seaches and there's never been anything with the options I'm looking for available on lots.
The dealer been great, but I'm very disappointed in Ford. If they knew there was a problem with the supply of standard transmissions, why didn't they notify me sooner...while I still had time for other options. Very poor customer service. Probably shouldn't have order my modifications so soon. Any thoughts out there.

But have you physically went to several dealerships and looked? V-6 standards are everywhere here in Texas. Pick your color off the lot. Now, the GT - forgettaboutit - won't find one. Good luck!

My order also got bumped back in Feb due to the IUP lawsuit....I used this dealer search link and then checked inventory over the entire western US. I found almost what I wanted.
If you have time...I would check yourself...forget about the dealer doing it. They can say they do the search, but I personally found out they only did half the work I did.
I couldn't get the IUP I wanted, but I did find the color and a standard tranny in stock. I did however, have my car upgraded with the MyColor gauges...it wasn't build that way...but I am happy now.

That only tells me that the MY06 is not going to start out well.
Unless of coarse they are using a different tranny.

If yes did you got a build date from Ford, or just dealer reports?

Before I ordered the v6 and now that my order has been cancelled, the dealer did a nationwide Ford dealer seach. None available at over 4000 dealerships seached. Looking for a redfire delux v6 with manual transmission, IUP, Red leather interior, and upgraded rims. I didn't think it would be that hard to find, but thats one reason I liked it.
