I just ordered mine on 4/25 and I wasn't told anything about it being an 06' model. I was told that it would arrive in 6 weeks and that in actuality, they were seeing orders coming in at 5 weeks for the last few cars they had ordered. I'm in Albuquerque, NM. I hope I don't have any problems.

We ordered our 05 GT convertible on March 5th. In Mid April our Salesperson told us in early April that we may not get an 05 and instead it may be an 06. We got a phone call on April 28th from the dealership. They stated that they had more orders then the amount of their allocation. We missed getting an 05 by 5 orders. They said we would be 5th on the list of an 06 but no dates for when we would get the car - probably September or October. We kept the order on the list. I checked with a few dealerships and there were none around. Finally I looked on line and say one 2 1/2 hrs away. I called and it was gone. The salesperson looked on their system and found one in Indiana. I called and it was available!!! It was the exact color we ordered - red fire metallic and a gt premium. The only differences were the parchment instead of charcol and it didnt have the iup. We bought it over the phone right then and there Picked it yesterday. It was worth the 3 hour drive (one way). The car is awesome. We couldnt get the xplan as we were going to at the dealership we ordered (supposidly). But I think that is why they screwed us. Its well worth paying retail. I will post pictures later in the week. Good luck with everyone getting theirs.

From my experience plan participation is totally voluntary by the deadlers. They are not bound to participate. It may cost them a few sales but, I guess they see it as worth it. I am an a-plan buyer and it has been my experience that when I mention A-plan in some cases the level of service by the salesman goes down. It is definatly related to the level of commision. Since most plan sales are a flat fee commision to the salesman. Helps with bonus quotas. JMO
Sidenote where Indiana did you find the car.

It finally happenned. Got the call today, My order has finally been picked up. Will know the vin # and build date on monday. Dealer told me that the cars are being built on a lottery type system, and their number came up, meaning they are in line for the next two cars. I also had the dealer fax me a copy of the DORA. The priority code on mine is listed as "01" never seen that before!!! anyway thanks to all who gave me hope and an education. Will post pics when I receive my car. Hoping it wont be delivered damaged like the last one!

When is the sooned you can find out your priority?
Does the Dealer decide it?
Is it in some contract?
