I just put an order in for a Vista blue 08 GT.
The salesman said that I'd get 5.9% easy because of the amount I am financing. He said that ford generally offers around 8 on non promotion vehicles and that subsidizes the ones running the 0%.

Well at the moment the dealer has 5.9 apr and it is the best rate per my bank and Capital one. Hopefully it'll be lower when my car gets in, cuz even that is still a little high.

Speed, if your salesman didn't give you a VOC before you left (the paper showing all the options and price), then in a few days, they will get a DORA (Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement). This will show your Priority Code (the lower the better with 10 being best), and your 4 digit order number. This number is the one you can call ERL to get updates. To let you know, that number won't have any updates till they "pull" the car for production, and serialize it, and give it a schedule date. Congrats on the order and hope the wait isn't too long.

Randy, you actually can make changes up until the car is deemed "BUCKED" on the inbound list of cars. Once that happens, the car is being made as submitted to plant.

Congrats, I'm waiting for my 08 as well. It's supposed to be built next week, and should be here by August! 
What exactly did you order on your car? What you listed above? Were there any changes?

Well folks, after a horrible experience at one dealer I thought it was a bad omen that I would never get this car. I've been chasing this running horse for 4 years now, ever since I saw the concept pictures of the 2005 redesign. I've been creaming over the dual exaust that my friend had on his mustangs from 90-93. The monster I was never going to capture myself. I never thought that I was destined to have this car, and was going to drive 4 bangers for the rest of my life. Only settling for par, for what was on my plate.
After waiting anxiously to see if certain things fell into place properly. After deciding NOT to settle and to grasp what's rightfully mine... I have finally, after all this time, placed an order for a 2008 Stang GT. We only live once, and I sure as hell am not going to die without riding this horse!
The waiting begins...

I've got a copy of the dealer VOC and have a question regarding the Xplan price. The price shows as not quite .4% less than invoice. If I take .4% off my configured invoice, I'm at 75 dollars less than what they show as Xplan price. They have taken off 43.36 from invoice to arrive at the Xplan price. Are the 08's not doing the .4 off?

That's close to what mine is. Congrats again!
I just spent about 3 hours putting together a work bench to help me do mods on my 08 pony when it comes in.
Now, I going to go to the home depot this afternoon to get some parts to install better lighting in my garage so that I can see to work on my pony when it comes in!

Yeah I don't think I'm gonna go mod crazy. As of now I'm just thinking of putting on a K&N air filter and finding a shorty antenna and possibly tinting the windows. MAYBE in the future a CDC ducktail spoiler. Chin spoiler as well, but I'm not 100% sure if I want the chin spoiler being that NJ roads suck!

Hey Randy, X-Plan was always configured as being A-Plan price, times 4%. I just did the calculations on an Edge I have in stock. A-Plan price $31,615.77 times .04% and it came to $32880.40, which is $2 more than X-plan. So the calculation is still good, give or take a few dollars.

Might put on a ducktail in the future. First things would be mirror covers, moleskin and tint, shorter antenna, and maybe a little later an axleback. Then maybe a rear blackout panel and possibly quarter louvers. I really like the looks of the Hurst shifter but don't like the problems people seem to have with it. Maybe the new model will be better. Or I think the MGW can be outfitted with the hurst handle but that seems wrong.

When I multiply the stated A plan price times 1.04 I get $29.40 less than the stated X plan price. It ends up being $72.76 under invoice.
I'll be putting in better lights too I think.

Well I got the garage lights in and stopped by Pep Boys and bought all kinds of cleaning supplies for the new 08 Pony when it gets in. Got to get ready!
Good luck with your 08 order. I'm sure you're going to enjoy it when it comes in!
