Years ago I remember reading that in the '60's and '70's, the districts with the highest percentage of convertible deliveries were those located in the New England states. I wonder if that is still true.

When the restoration hobby of early Mustangs took off, it seemed like a very high percentage of the convertibles had DSO's from the Northeast, and lot of those cars had fairly low miles. That fact really adds credence to your thought that buyers in those states want to make the most of their limited nice outdoor season.

 

none... i guess thats only way i can use a car....

 

Ordered August 3rd, 2013. I realize it's probably premature to ask, but I'm only in the 2nd week and I'm already going nuts wondering about it!! I couldn't resist a PM to Deysha!

A humble V6 coupe - with lots of nice options though - Ruby Red, Glass Roof, Saddle Leather and the Pony Package.

Best of luck to all those waiting!

 

Congrats, Mrsuitcase, sounds like my ride...a tricked out V6 with glass roof and pony package, but I got blue with the stone interior. I think our rides will be awesome!

 

You’re very welcome, FullRide14!

I hope everything moves fast for you, johncarlopang!

Woot woot! Welcome and congrats, Mrsuitcase! I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Got my window sticker today. Blend date of 8/20 and ETA to dealer 9/3. I hope it doesn't get delayed for any reason, I'll use the power of positive thought and will it to be early. I can't wait to fire it up!!

 

Ruby red is an awesome color I was back and forth on it or silver for a long time. Ended up with the silver because it will be much easier to keep clean. Living on a dirt 3 miles from blacktop is relaxing but terrible on my OCD car cleaning mind. Good luck with the order though I hope it comes quickly. The wait is terrible!!

 

Looks like mine got built. Hoping it get here sooner rather than later. A Labor Day ride would be awesome

 

That's all sorts of happy! Looking forward to it!

 

Deysha with Ford Service is absolutley awesome in how she handles everyone on this forum and tries to help them get info on their order status and remedy any problems they may have. If everyone of the members on here would donate a $1.00 she could go on one heck of a cruise. LOL

 

Spouse's Shelby arrives at the dealership today 5 days early.

 

Are you all buying straight through local dealer? Is there an easier way to buy, such as a ford internet salesman?

 

No there is no way to directly order through Ford. I WISH there was a way to cut out the middle man (dealer)! Everyone who orders a Ford has to order through the dealer.

 

That car looks absolutely beautiful, Flynford!

 

For such an occasion of mass praise, I'd suggest everyone pitch in for a Tim Horton's coffee gift card. However, I'm not sure if Tim Horton's even exists in Michigan! (I'm a canuck, eh!)

I mean after all, you tip wait staff for good service, why not be nice to someone else who goes above and beyond?

 

Tim's Does have stores in Michigan.

 

there arent sales guys from dealerships posting here offering straight fwd pricing? dont see why they cant do that

 

Flynn that Shelby looks awesome!

 

How would a dealership make any money and stay in business?

 

This is probably a topic for another forum, but...

I just used services called "unhaggle" and "carcostcanada". You get to see the dealership's invoice price. Then a dealership or two will call you. At that point they offer you something reasonable a little higher than invoice.

If you want to grind it out between competing dealerships by doing the back and forth thing, you can probably get lower - but I just found my method to be simple and time-effective, where I'm getting a price where I save some money, and the dealership is still making a bit. Everyone's happy.

Best of luck.
