Planning to order a 2005 (not 2006) v6 redfire met. with red leather interior. Should I have any trouble getting one? Sounds like the GT's are tough to get, but what about the v6's

 

Who knows, hopefully 2006 models will be better with production the 05 is good then bad good then bad then awful who knows...

 

Your choice of course but there are plenty of V6s on dealer lots. With a little looking you should be able to find the exact car you want. Why put yourself through all the waiting? In any case, welcome. You will love this car!

 

Very true, my dealer has 2-4 new V6s every 3 weeks about

 

I had to order my V6. I couldn't find my options with IUP on any lot. So far so good. Ordered 2/19 (originally tried to order 12/19/04, couldn't because of IUP) got pulled 3/3. Paying Dealer Invoice.

 

I did have the dealer search...none exaclty like it the entire U.S. Redfire metallic ,red interior, v6 delux, standard trans., IUP and ext. upgrade pkg. I could do without the ext. upgrade pkg., though. Didn't realize this would be so hard to find.

 

About 2 months for delivery...not bad. How did you manage to get dealer invoice? Mines $500 over plus 2% advertising fee. Did you get charge the advertising fee? Hope you like it.........

 

Red ICAP on Redfire with 5 manual in a V6 is a beautiful set-up. My dealer had a GT in that combo that I just loved. I wonder why you've elected for the V6 Deluxe rather than a Premium? Your particular color choice and option group sounds pretty unique - I'd be surprised if a dealer ordered one exactly like it on spec.

 

Isn't the Premium trim required for some options on the car??

Anywho, I was told when I ordered my V6 that they aren't any problem to get just the wait to get them built is long. But I wouldn't wait any later then the end of March. I think you'll be pushing for a build date at nearly the end of the 05 MY production run ordering by April.

I ordered 3/8 and look to have an 8 to 15 week wait ahead putting me somewhere between early May to the middle of June. Wait 2 or 4 more weeks and your looking at a July date which is right at the end of 05 production.

 

I wasn't interested in the Premium pkg. Looked like all it included was an $800 stereo system which took up half the truck space. Not very practicle in my book. The dealer kinda shook his head with the red on red idea. I've never seen one...just pictures. I too thought it looked great. Did the one you saw look almost alittle too bright with the red interior. I thought there was enough contrast with the aluminum and charcoal to tone it down. I guess I won't know until its too late.

 

No all those options are available on the delux pkg. I was restricted to the red leather though. The 3 other leathers are only available with the premium pkg. But, thats what I wanted anyway. I ordered my yesterday, so far so good, wanting for dealer to confirm allocation.
