Exactly, this is what should have happened.

You might have been able to do that where you live, that doesn't mean it's the same down here.

That’s a very good point. It’s kind of hard for me to believe that Virginia is on the leading edge of anything (other than history, LOL), but I guess anything is possible with car dealerships.

The problem I have with this is that it's in the X-plan agreement that you can choose a new car off of a dealer lot and use your X-plan pin. The only thing I can think is that somehow this dealer isn't participating somehow.

I'm not discrediting your claim, I just think this dealer really is screwing you. Possibly many others as well if this is the way they are treated.

Dealers can choose to accept X-Plan or not. It sounds like that dealer wanted to make some extra $$$ off the in-stock cars.

A dealer cannot reject X-Plan if he has used it on someone else, from what I hear. A dealership can universally reject X-Plan, but he can't pick and choose which customers to give X-Plan to. At least that's what my friend who manages a dealership in NC said.

That's my understanding, too.

This is true, but I'd walk if this is the scenario. Then again I have X-plan. I'd just find a dealer that will accept.

For all you guys talking about shifter issues. I bought a new shifter bushing from energy suspension for about $20. It made a huge difference in the feel of the shifter is made of uerethane instead of ****ty rubber. Took about ten minutes to change it. And for the dude who isnt sure. My wife has an 04 and my 2011 is a milion times better i didnt realize how terrible the old mustang was built. Its noisy and rattles and slow as mud by comparison.

I heard the 11s misfired on the ninth cylinder. Especially common with the new 8.0 motor. Lol

I'm curious as to how he ended up getting it anyway, did he drive by it everyday or what?
