I've been ordering Fords for years, and I've been on Mustang forums since 1999. Every year it's the same old thing. A few saavy dealers (like Jeff & I on these forums) learn early info on the coming year's models and share what we can here about the process, while most dealers across the country have no clue about what's going on until after the public knows. They focus on selling what they have today. Jeff & I focus on bringing the latest & greatest upcoming info to you here.

Ford scoops are bolted to the side of the car with 2 holes.
After market use tape. (which is what I have now)

Will there be a way to replace the front grille (w/fog lights) on the Premium GT without getting the california package?
I'd like a GT, Premium, Recaro, Track... but I really don't care for the fog lights.

If so, ordering a Mustang for a customer, and trying to get it early by claiming its a store inventory order, might have some risk.

Your local dealer, on the other hand, probably just didn't know that orders could go in or didn't want to until pricing was official.

Onca again, we CALLED FORD MOCO WHILE I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. And u do realize u started this argument by correcting me in that saying, "orders are just starting to be taken" when, even if what you said was true, the banks would have been open for less than a month and no one else in the country could seem to order 13s but you. Was this really worth correcting me over? I appreciate info, not nit-picking. Move along.
That being said, its not just the pricing that hasn't been released yet, but the official options. I know order forms were leaked a few months ago, but those werent necessarily final. As far as your local dealers are concerned, Ford has not released the detailed options to the public yet, so how could you possibly place an order for a 2013 when you don't even know the available options, never mind the price. The only thing that would make sense is placing an order for a base v6, gt, etc with no special packages or options if you didn't care what the price ends up being.

Brian is just like me, an enthusiast 1st and foremost. We want to give information to people like us, to help them in their buying a Mustang. I've been on here since 2004, when the Mustang Source was in its infancy. I love helping people out. Look at the info I shed on the rebate program on the GT500!! How many dealers are telling their customers about that? I did that so the cars would get bought up by people who want them and love them. People like me, like Brian, etc. Its great when I can help someone out even if I don't sell them a car myself. As long as they get the "real" info on a deal, on the process, etc, I feel like we helped out. When a new customer walks into my office, they see how big of a "car guy" I am, and I tell them that I'm a "car person who sells cars". We give info to help and I always will help people out. Wheelman, please don't be upset at him. Brian and I do this because we are Mustang guys!!!

Ford won't change an order's colors or equipment that is input by the dealership, so no risk there. However, Ford does autopopulate orders for dealers when the dealer isn't inputting enough orders to satisfy their allocation, so those orders could get changed, but the dealership can override those orders.

I was just looking at our '13 Mustang orders for our store, and we have one scheduled already. It is a deep impact blue GT premium coupe. I ordered it 12.12.11, it's scheduled to be built the week of 02.27.12, and it has an ETA to our store for the week of 03.13.12. Glad to have one of the new for '13 colors coming first so we can check it out!
