Anyone considering a 2010 GT instead of a 2011 GT now?

I was looking for a used GT or heavily discounted 2010 but then I came across this site. I decided that I want the 5.0 and six speed after going through all the information available on this forum. After crunching the numbers found out I'm finally in the position to own a brand new GT. Besides all the new equipment, I'm excited about having power windows, locks, and remote entry

At this point the cash incentives are somewhat irrelevent, as far as the car buyer is concerned, as most dealers are going to be giving deep discounts from now until they get rid of remaining stock.
Interest rates are negotiable so long as your credit is good.
It all depends on how tough you get during the haggle process. Tell them what you are willing to do and stick to it, be ready to walk away if you don't get it.

Most of the dealers around here are doing invoice minus the rebate -- so if the rebate goes down, the net price goes up.

Well, then you need to look outside your area and get a better deal. Might mean a road trip to go get the car but will save you $$$.

Unfortunately there is a big gap between what I am willing to do, and what the dealers are willing to do, so I end up walking away . . . I was hoping that Ford would fill that gap, but not yet.

three weeks later now...
Has anyone seen better deals on the 2010's?
Anyone that was debating lean one way or the other?
There are still some 10's around my area, and I change my mind every week

You got it. A lot of people are willing to save $5k and still get an excellent car with that V8 power/rumble. Not to mention 99% of people on the road won't know the difference between a '10 and an '11.

The math nerd in me knows this:
In Atlanta, Ford is offering $2500 off plus 0% for up to 72 months. The 0% financing for 60 months saves about $4000 vs a 5% loan. Add in the rebate and you save $6500 without even considering the 2011 price increase. That kind of money is hard to ignore.
The car guy in me knows this: 412hp / 390 ft lbs (conservatively). 7000 rpm red line. Track pack suspension in every car. Six speed transmission.
The logician in me knows this: If I really wanted to save money, I would be buying a Fiesta.

Ive been looking around and they are freakin' expensive no matter who you buy from, like close to $7000.
The Roush R2300 is a much better deal and has just as much or more HP potential. You can find the R2300 as low as $5200, just doesn't come with a tune.
