Price Increase Today?
#23
What's all this about a price increase? I have a longtime friend of the family that works at Ford in Michigan that said he could get me a deal and I was getting ready to call him and see if I can parlay that into an X-plan price on a Mineral Gray GT. Are the prices going up this month, and is this a definite? Do I need to place my order ASAP to avoid paying more than what's shown on the price list posted on this website? I've already read the FAQ to determine how to figure out X-plan price. Any added info is appreciated...

Notice that on the recommended dealer ordering mix, Ford now lists 60% for IUP (used to be 40%) and they recommend 20% for the new ISAP. So Ford is now estimating that 80% of Mustang customers will want some form of an interior upgrade.
On the other hand the recommended ordering for the ICAP (red leather seats) has been dropped from 10% down to 5%, so it sounds like the red seats aren't popular. I wonder if they will be dropped or replaced with something else for 2006.
Shaker 500 mix has gone up to 54% (was 20%)
V6 ABS & TC up to 57% (was 5% - but 5% sounds low, like a mistake)
Side air bags 15% (was 10%)
V6 Sport appearance package is down to 30% (was 60%)
And finally, the GT ordering % is up to 63% (was 38%).
Seems like Ford has made some major changes in its model / option sales estimates.

I believe you are too late. New prices are already in effect.

I don't currently have any V6 manuals on order, but according to last weeks commodity report they are currently scheduling them. If I'm not mistaken, they were scheduled to start this week.
