Thanks!
I gave em $500 towards the DP. Thats the minimum to order a car at my dealer.

I got an e-mail today with the $750 coupon. Its for 11/12s and expires 04.26 I believe, likely right around when Ill be picking up my 13. Hope my dealer will honor it but Im guessing its more a matter of will their system accept it or not and Im guessing it will.

Hey everyone, i'm new to the forums here. I have a 2011 Mustang V6 premium and i love it, but i'm looking into a 2013 Mustang GT premium but i'm not sure if it would be a wise move since I still owe on my current vehicle or how much it's roughly worth right now. one can dream i suppose..

You could sell the v6 premium and get a GT base, and when you refinance you prob won't have too much different monthly payments.

You took a financial hit once you drove it off the lot, but after that, if youre financing, its all just a matter of how long you want payments for, how much you can afford and how much you can get approved for. The longer you own your car, the more it will depreciate and the less value it will have, so if you definitely want a GT and can afford it now, there is no reason to wait. In fact, it makes better financial sense overall but financial decisions arent made in a vacuum. Considering that it is still pretty new, though, youd be better off selling it as the depreciation curve seems to be a bit steeper at the dealer. That being said, if I were you, Id at least wait for the annuversary 14s and, not long after, youll see 15 pics released to see if you like the new model and you wont want to be in the same boat again in a year or two. Trading again at that point would just be throwing money away.

I have the same model on my current car and they are an awesome all season tire. Tire Rack says they will fit on the 2012, but does not have anything up there for the 2013 yet. Can someone verify that these will fit, and also does anyone have any info about how these tires will affect the ride and handling of the car?
They'll fit fine. 275's are pushing it for an 8.5" rim, though. I have 19 x 9" wheels (Brembo GT) and I test fit Conti Extreme Contact DWS 275/45/19's on the back before opting for 255's at all four corners. The DWS's are awesome all season tires.

There's no standard deposit amount and each dealer will vary. Where I work, it's a $500 deposit on mainstream vehicle orders, but a $5,000 deposit on Boss 302's due to their scarcity. Our sale price is just MSRP on Bosses and Laguna Secas. We get way more people asking for them than we have allocation, so the big deposit weeds out those who aren't serious. Some dealers might not even require a deposit, so again, it varies.

Hello everyone! I have a question...if someone could please help me out?
Is it true that in order to receive the x-plan price, you have to finance through ford and cannot go directly through a credit union or bank etc?

Thanks cinque35. This will be my first New Car purchase and I feel a little stressed out. It's such a big decision! I am very excited though Just can't make up my mind now on if I want to go with the 2013 or wait and see what the 2014/2015 mustangs will be like.

I was in that boat when I was buying a professional DSLR camera... Wait or buy. Someone made a good point that there is always the next best thing right around the corner. If the wait isn't long, wait it out. If it is long though, get what you can and enjoy the heck out of it. You never know what the future brings so live it up.

I ended up getting my camera a year ago. The new one is out now but, you know what, I love my current one. It does everything I need it to and I know it inside and out.

Same here Brian. I take only $500 on orders. Even on the Boss 302, $500 is all I require. Mostly, because we have one car and its sold anyhow and even if we get lots of other people asking, we can't get any others. I have heard of some stores requiring thousands of $$$ for deposit on a regular car like a Focus. Crazy!!!

Thanks for all the feedback on the money down for an order, hoping to pull the trigger on a Boss shortly.

Cheers!

Hey, did you get a confirmation email from Ford once you requested the brochure?

Hey guys, the timing for retail order scheduling was listed on the recent commodities control report. It says "Retail Scheduling: Until the OK to Buy is achieved, retail orders will not be selected for scheduling.

So until Ford gives the OKTB, no retails will be scheduled. Usually, the OK is given about 2-4 weeks after Job#1 begins.
