I just got back from my dealer, I got my first free LOF. I saw my saleman who told me that Ford just cut off orders on 2011 Mustangs. Could this be so. It isn't even 2011 yet. He said he was shocked, and I can believe it.

 

Really? I know there as some issues with the clutch popping up. However, that sounds like more of a hold then anything.

 

hmmm, thats interesting. I wonder why if that is true

 

I hope not, my order is supposed to go in this morning.

 

They aren't cut-off permanently, if anything it will just be a temporary hold.

Let's not get back into a "The Sky is Falling!!!" deal again.

 

The Shelby is capped. That's what he's thinking.

Although, for CAFE reasons (), there is a percentage cap on 5.0s/V6s at about 30%/70%, if I remember right, could be off a little. SO if there's a shortage of 5.0s, you'll just have to buy a couple of v6s to compensate. Sort like unlocking something cool in a video game.

Hey, three cars like that? Get a vert, a dd coupe, and the 5.0 to have extreme fun with.

So technically, he's right, but not exactly.

 

I haven't heard anything like this, I know the dealer my brother works for is still placing orders without any problems.

 

Until there is some hard evidence of a hold on production, I call BS on the dealer. They'll say almost anything to keep a sale.

 

Just some BS dealer tactics to sell something on the lot.

 

This.

They once told me grabber only came on V6s. (they wanted me to take the GB V6 on their lot)

 

I love walking into a dealership and knowing more about the car than they do.

 

but it gets old reallyyyyyy quick

 

yes, very annoying . . . . like how do you respond when the second thing out of their mouth (right after "hello, my name is . . . ") is either ignorance or an intentional lie? Do you say "What you just told me is incorrect. Are you ignorant or intentionally lying?" It kind of throws off the whole flow of the conversation, makes it very uncomfortable and unproductive . . .

 

Which is why i really enjoyed dealing with my salesman. He wouldn't lie about anything. If he didn't know the answer he would tell me he didn't know and then would find out the correct answer. No BS just results.

 

Typical.
He heard the GT500 was capped and assumed it was all Mustangs.
Conversation he heard probably went like this:
"Wow, the sales manager tried to order my customer a 2011 Mustang and the computer told him they were all finished taking orders."
He never asked which Mustang was ordered (GT500).

 

Jason, i was under the impression that you had a V6 !!!!!

 

Allocation has been non-existent for the past month, and we just got 4 '11 Mustangs allocated to us for the next scheduling period, so they're still taking orders, but they've really cut back on the quantities.

 

then I need to tell my bank, they owe me some money

 

Now that's truly amazing...

 

Go down to Hemborg Ford in Norco to witness it first hand.

He said that after I had already told him I was a stang enthusiast
