What sucks is that I had my mod hat on last week and bough two accessories thinking I'll be driving my car this week like my dealer let me to believe

Sorry to hear. Do they know where the car is located? My mustang sat in the Bighamton, NY and Ayer, MA rail yards for like 3+ weeks. It was very frustrating so I feel your pain.

I can understand your frustration. Our dealer made multiple promises based on their best guess of an ETA that they were obviously unable to keep, which affected our plans more than once. And somehow it took nearly five weeks from when the car was built until it arrived at the dealer.

All I can suggest is to be as patient as you can, but you also shouldn't feel to bad if you decide you have to walk away from the deal. We came really close to giving up a couple times, and they'll make more.

My dealer finally called me today but I let it go to voice mail. At this point I'm only talking to my dealer if they leave a message letting me know the car arrived. The salesman said that the Ford rep, that apperentely was visiting today, checked the system and that it shows the car at the ramp like he told me originally (Ayer or Spencer MA?) and again that the car should be in a day or two. Right, like I haven't heard that before. Ford CS told me my ETA is 10/7 so not sure who to believe but either way I giving Ford/Dealer until next Wednesday. If the car is not at the dealer by then I'm walking away from the deal and try again next year if still interested.

Picked up my beautiful new 5.0 on Saturday at 8:30 am. And for a first time manual driver, this car is easy to learn on!

For all you people ordering cars: I have a dumb question - Has anyone ordered a GT(not Premium) with 6-speed, leather seats, brembos and 3.55's or 3.73's? I am trying to build a base GT with brembos and a rear end, but want leather - seems like it is not an option to add leather. Thanks!

This is the best I can do right now. Is was raining here in MA and the picture was taken from my salesman's phone camera. It will be sunny on Wednesday so hopefully I can take better pictures using a real camera.

Can't do it. The base GT is VERY limited on options. You'll have to step up to a GT premium and get the leather as std. equipment, then just add your Brembos & 3.73 to it.

I would love to find out how to check status as well. I ordered 4 weeks ago. The dealer says that the status is "scheduled" whatever that means.

Thanks!

Thanks...I wish I can see some of the interior pics of the cloth seats - maybe I will head to the dealer for that too.

I took delivery on 9/25! Sorry, I'm late, I know... but I've been enjoying my new Mustang GT. Awesome car... ALMOST worth the wait. Ford needs to get their ordering/delivery system in order. At the very least, a webpage where customers can track their own orders.

Ordered: 6/30
Built:9/1
Delivered: 9/25
Total time from order to delivery: 87 days
