I tried all kinds of selections. I finally got two emails sent to two email addresses I have never used with Ford before. Only one of the emails had a coupon. Nothing via USPS yet. I have read there are $1,000 coupons too.

I like the 2013 rear end and Recaro's ... I don't think I could live with the front end ... Still love the Saleen Grill and GT/CS valance and fogs. WIll be swapping all that stuff over to the 2012.
Congrats on the order. I had ordered my GT at invoice minus any rebates. When it arrived, I had $1,500 incentive cash and $750 coupon cash back for a total of $2,250 under invoice. I paid $33,000 and change for a $39,000 and change vehicle. Not bad. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

lol good luck on that coupon ,,i beggd ford at least called customer service 12 times ..even said i was shoppn the ss ...nothing ,,but i ended up with a decent deal ..i got 3.9 for 72 so its almost free money i put 2700 down, used my x plan.rebate etc ,,i ended up sith a 39sticker going dow to almost 32. Wheni bought my car they had a cheaper premium car a silver one i could have lowerd payment a lil ,,but it wasnt loaded ,,i wanted a good gear . mine has 3.73s
Now i wished i would have gotten a boss 302 . i didnt care much for them at first, but when you are in one ,,man ,,they are *****in

Dan, as much as I HATED SG cars, I have to say yours is the nicest one I've seen to date. Shame you've put a lot of time and energy into that and traded up. Granted, you can swap some parts over, but yours was truly unique. Can't wait to see what you do with your '12.

I already got a coupon good until 1/12/12.
I am sure I will miss my SG at first. I love the car but really want all the options especially glass roof. I bought my 2010 after production ended so couldn't order with all the bells and whistles. I would not be getting a 2012 if my 2010 was loaded.

Get you coupon locked in. The dealer can do this through ford. With all the holidays the factory shuts down and with weather delays you might see your car by Febuary. Sorry to rain on your parade just what happened to me when I ordered my 11 around the same time. My car arrived at the dealer March 10th. Ordered November 9th with plenty dealer allocation.

Feels like that Seinfeld segment with the car rental, "sir we have your reservation but I don't have a car"
"you don't have a car? But the reservation keeps the car HERE"
"anybody can take a reservation, it's the HOLDING"
So they took my order but nothing done about it, great.

As someone else said in a thread not too long ago that my anticipation and excitement is also turning into disappointment and desperation, I ordered mine on oct5th it's November 20th and still NO VIN, NO PRODUCTION DATE. In the words of ford customer service "ford received the order but hasn't been picked up by the plant, the system picks the order number and sends it to the plant"

By the time dealer calls prolly in jan-February "hey Togan your new Gt is here, oh btw did u see our new 2013s? They got dropped off in the same truck as yours!" "come take yours so we can have more room for the cooler ones"

I was also told that once ordered, a VIN is given within 5-7 days. I ordered mine on a Monday, had a VIN by Thursday. If the dealer can't provide one or both items, I'd escalate it with their sales manager, or go somewhere else that can. Canada gets a smaller allocation, but that doesn't mean they can't provide these things.
