I ordered my '11 GT through his dealership last year. Brian wasn't my sales guy, but he's always in the communication loop and he tracked my car through the build process, and kept me informed. What I find most awesome is that they have people on staff that are just as passionate about Mustangs as we are, and it shows.
It just takes time to find the right dealer that has the right staff. When I was shopping to order my '11, I had to walk out of the local dealerships near where I live because they wouldn't take me seriously, or were completely clueless. One didn't have the order guide yet despite it having been here on the forums for weeks. Had I known about the dealership Brian works at before hand, I would have gone straight to him.

Thanks for the helpful replies. Maybe I'll put in some face time at a few dealers this weekend and see what happens. I suppose a few hundred dollars isn't a big deal in the great scheme of things, but I don't like to feel like I'm getting ripped off.
It's also nice to see some love for the Dodge Challenger on here, if not the Ram trucks. I've actually owned more GM products than anything, but the only one I'd consider now is the Corvette and the CTS.

Then again I didn't bother with doing that either.

As an update, I finally found a reliable, no B.S. dealer who was willing to order a car at a price I am comfortable with, so I placed my order with them yesterday. Here's what I ended up with:
2012 GT Premium Coupe
Performance White
400A Charcoal Black
Automatic
HID Security Package
19" Painted Luster Nickel Wheels
I locked in my Customer Coupon and I'm hoping the rebate situation is better in August when I should get the car.

Congrats on your new Mustang. Now comes the hard part: the wait. My dealer sent me weekly updates consisting of a pdf from their status report at first, then from the Vehicle Visibility website once my car was scheduled. It made my wait a lot more enjoyable, and I have good documentation of my car from before it was ever built. Watch any car auction. The cars that sell high are the ones that have the paper to back them up.
My 2011 took a little less that two months from order to arrival. Expect the same, maybe more.

You're talking about unemployment and the hard economy but you're not willing to let the dealer make any money on the sale? No wonder nobody wants to sell you a car.
Try "settling" for $250-500 over invoice and you should be driving home in a '12 GT quick. Or find someone that'll sponsor you for an X-Plan PIN.
