Well, they did it... The blame is completely theirs. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img] I was perfectly willing to drive my 97 GT for a couple of more years. Then comes the mailer from my bank and they are having a special sale with extra low finance rates and dealer specials with their preferred dealers. And low and behold 2 of the local Ford dealers are listed. One with X-plan pricing and the other is 2% below factory invoice. But I’m cool… not a problem cause one only has autos and the other only has 1 manual GT and my wife doesn’t care for the Torch Red color. So being curious about the price I check out the ones site and he is getting a Vista Blue premium, Dark IUP and Polished Bullets. The Vista Blue will be $25,895! So I do the numbers thing and the wife has given her blessing… Hopefully by this time next week I will be driving an 06! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img] Wish me luck.

Good luck. Vista Blue is an awsome color, of course, I may be a bit biased. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

That's amazing! The same thing happened to me. I had finally decided to hold out for another year or two and my local dealer and the bank conspired to break my resistance. What could I do? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

You will love the 06! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/burnout.gif[/img]

Congratulations! Can't wait to see the pics. Mine is still clean and unsched, '07 Vista Blue Premium GT, Med. Parchment interior, with the fanblades and the satin IUP.

Planning on picking it up Laborday weekend, and driving down the oregon/california coast to LA

I'ts gonna be a few months, but I think I can handle the wait.

Maybe. :-P

I signed my loan almost a week before delivery to lock in my rate. The finance guy was shocked and said he hadn't seen a rate like that in months. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] Vista Blue rules. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

My bank has approved me for the loan. Even better… I will be in town next week! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img] The last fly in the ointment is my 97 is not in that great shape so it could cause me to loose the deal if I can't get a decent trade in. My cash reserves are not very good due to the fact I wasn't looking to buy a car. But with a deal like this I could not pass it up!
