2008 order questions
I want to order a 2008 GT in the next couple weeks or in early spring. I have a few questions, please and thanks.
First, here's what I want: Vista Blue GT Premium, manual, IUP, 3.55 axle ratio, ambient lighting, chrome exhaust tips 1. Is it possible to get the Premium model with cloth seats instead of leather? I have leather now and although it looks nice, I can't STAND it. If I MUST have leather to get the premium, is there a leather seat that is solid on the back - i.e. without that swiss cheese lookin' like "aberdeen" stuff on the back surface? 2. Anyone have any up close pictures of the "stitched brow" and upgraded arm rests with the Premier Trim? Searched the internet everywhere and can't find any. Also, on Ford's website it says $0 for this option - how much does it really cost? 3. Can one of you guys sell me a car if I'm willing to travel, or am I stuck with my local dealers? :drool: |

To get cloth, you must get a deluxe. 2) The price of the Premium Trim Package is $395. I currently don't have a GT in stock with this option. If I did, I would post a few pics of it. If you do a search on the forums for Premium Trim, you should find some threads with pics in them. 3) If you don't mind the travel, I can sell a car to anyone in the country. Would be a great drive back from PA to Cincy! If you have the ability to get X-Plan, I'll order you the car at X-Plan. Good luck with your searching. :nice: |
I should be able to get you some pics since I have that option.
I'll get it as soon as I can take the time. |

1) If you get a premium, Leather is standard. There is no way to delete it. To get cloth, you must get a deluxe. Well bummer. Am I right that in order to get the 3.55 gears I have to have the premium? 3) If you don't mind the travel, I can sell a car to anyone in the country. Would be a great drive back from PA to Cincy!

Well bummer. Am I right that in order to get the 3.55 gears I have to have the premium? I'm hoping I can get an x-plan pin number from blue oval. I also have a relative that is retired from ford in dearborn MI but I have no clue if she can/will get it for me or not. Regarding travel, that's cool. I just want to buy my next mustang from someone who knows what the heck they are talking about. This will be my 5th mustang and 8th ford and I'm tired of playing the sales game. It's worth the travel to avoid it. Spring might be better though.... Your relative who worked for Ford, he can absolutely get you a PIN number. Since he's a company worker, most of them get either 4 or 8 X-Plan pins a year. I'd give him a call to see if he can do this for you. And the drive. It not too far. My place is 25 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Trust me, I'm a car nut, so there won't be any issues there. You see what I own with the picture of my car for my avatar. Whenever your ready, give me a call. I'd love to chat for a few and would be thrilled to help out another forum member. :nice: |

Hey I was reading on another thread here that the glass top roofs may become available in 2008? Know anything about this and is it available on the GT?

Yeah, I've been reading about it, but Ford hasn't forwarded anything to us as of yet. I really like this option. Would look KILLER in your car!!! :nice:

Not totally sure what I think, although it would look killer with the vista blue and dark charcoal interior. I'm concerned about LEAKING, guess I would just have to get over that...

What's the latest a factory order can be accepted for the '08s (specifically the Job2, 2008.5 Bullitt)? May '08?

Maybe I misunderstand but isn't the allocation mix the same for a bullit as for the CS? If that is true than the bullit should be plentiful. Or do you mean that the first shipments will be every dealer gets one and then they will spread around just as the CS?

I understand that is for dealer orders for stock and any customer can order one for themselves from any dealer at any time.
