Well, after my test drive today in one beautiful white/red GT, I'm ready to order. I would like to see some pics of mineral gray/red if anyone has them (other than the innovation drive pics) I'm trying to decide between silver and mineral gray. I've seen lots of silver/red ones but only a couple mineral gray/red pics.

I'm gonna order a loaded up deluxe GT- IUP, Leather, ICAP, Active Anti-theft, Side air bags, Shaker 1000, Spoiler delete (future ducktail), and bullits (future bonspeed deltas)
Total Price: $25,920

If anyone has Minerall Gray/Red ICAP pics, please post 'em here!

Not sure which plan... My company has bought 10 cars this year through my buddy in fleet sales so he is hookin me up. The white gt i drove had a 3k markup, and they would not deal on it (3k markup! @#$). I will have to order through fleet to get that price. This is a huge dealer and fleet sales is totally separate from their retail store.

BTW there is about a $1800 holdback, so dealers are still making a decent amount of money even at invoice.

True, but it's also not cheap to own and operate a dealership. The holdback is to help prevent dealerships from going bankrupt.

Oh, and you have to get the leather seating surfaces in order to get the ICAP, you didn't have it listed in your options.

You're right, it wasn't in my list but is included in the price. Also like I said this is a big dealer so I don't think they are gonna go bankrupt on my deal. I wouldn't expect them to make the same deal for everyone else though.

Congrats on your deal, hope you don't have to wait too long and welcome to the forum! Oh, I guess I never actually answered your question, here are a few pics, they probably don't help much though.

Thanks, I know its gonna seem like forever but it will be worth the wait. I ordered my T/A brand new and it took 7 months so I know how agonizing it is...As long as Ford can get me my car by spring I'm happy

Any more pics anyone??

Me thinks the Mineral Grey & ICAP is something you need to see in person. Of course none of the shots on this form really give a good shot from the outside with the door open.

Yeah I agree, you need to see it in person. I'm not a huge fan of mineral gray on the 01-02-03's (growing on me for 05), especially since they came out with dark shadow gray. I wish they offered dark shadow gray on the 05's (or something more gray than brown).

Actually I wish they had a lot more color choices than they do, but what can we do I really wish there were a bright metallic blue or dark green or bright orange... most of the 05 colors to me are just so bland and look like they should be on lincolns and tortoises. Oh wait, they are.....

I did not go with a GT, but did like the power. My car does not have a red interior, it's dark charcoal, but I thought you might like the pic.
