Couple of questions i had..
I was planning on getting a new mustang in June or July of 2007 and had a few questions..
First off, if i wanted to order my car and wanted it by June or July of 2007. When do you guys think i should put down an order to expect it by then?
Second, if i do put an order down around that time would i be able to order a 2008 model or would i only be able to order the '07?
Third, i have a sister that works at a place called Simplex Grinnel. She said that she can get dealer price for any fords, chevy's and dodge cars as long as she works there. Has anybody who works for Ford know anything about this? And would this apply to any of those letter plans?
Thanks in advance guys.

If you still want a 2007 model year and want to order it as late as possible, try late February up to mid-March. I recall dealers stopping orders for 2006s around the first week of April. Expect a 2-3 month lead-time.
If your sister can get dealer pricing, that would be the D-Plan, which is almost $1000 below X-Plan pricing and about $100 more than A/Z-plan (employee and retiree) pricing. She will have to get a D-Plan PIN, IIRC.
Chances are, seeing how she works at a place that specializes in fire suppression and security, Simplex Grinnel employees can get the supplier discount from the Big 3 manufacturers, which in our case, is the X-Plan. X-Plan is basically dealer invoice [(0.996 * dealer invoice) + $75]. She will need to get an X-Plan PIN to buy the car (have the title/reg in her name for 6 months) and then transfer it to you after 6 months.

March and April are tricky time periods. Expect the '08 order banks to open up in mid to late April and expect Job 1 to be in the first week of June. My order was acknowledged on April 27th and I didn't get delivery until July 29th. So, if you hold out for '08, expect a longer delay if you order at this time period.

If ford planning on making a completely new design for 2009 or are they waiting until 2010?

They are planning what I call a "tweak" for '09. Wouldn't call it much different. I think that since it is still working for them, they are not going to change it much. I did hear something like GT to go to 350 HP and Shelby to go to 515.
