This is cool... very nice thanks KC ![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So if I ordered the vehicle before July but actually bought it in November I'm assuming I'm good.
Also is there anything the customer has to do for this to be in effect? Or is it automatic?

That is correct, vehicles purchased on or after July 14, 2006 are eligible.

I assume this was tied to the recent fininacial news. Any ideas if that is true or why this reversal? It definitely does not build a positive perception.
