Deysha just let me know my stang is to build the week of April 16th and I have a vin #.........now the painful wait!!

 

Me too! How long from 4/16 are you thinking?

 

Hi Jason,

Well she said its scheduled to build the week of April 16, she should know exactly what day by the end of this week. I ordered mine March 15th.

I'm in MA so if it builds that week I hope to see it by the first or second week of May.....if it lands at the dealer before May 5th the total Ford rebates will be $1000 according to the Ford marketing department. So fingers crossed!!

How about you?

 

Deysha gave me April 16 as my build week also! The race is on!

 

Hey guys what car did you guys option out? I it a build date of 4.13 and eta of 4.22 to the west coast.

 

All I have so far is a build week of April 16th.

Is this breaking news - that the rebate increased from $500 to $1,000?

 

Wow man, so you're looking at a delivery 9 days after build? That's exciting.

Mine is a GT Premium, Sterling Gray, Track, Recaros, back-up cam (cuz I'm spoiled from driving my wife's SUVs).

 

Jason,

I called the Ford marketing dept looking for a 13 brouchure they told me none were available so I asked about current rebates. They told me the total 2013 Mustang rebate was $1000 and that you have to take delivery on or before May 5th, 2012.
My build is
2013 V6 Base
6 spd manual
Performance Package
Tech Package
Recaro Seats
race red
Total $26,160.00 before any rebates. So hopefully I can get that extra $1,000 off plus I have a $750 private cash offer that would net it down to $24,410 plus doc fees, tax,etc

 

Is the $26,160 sticker or invoice?

Maybe it's your region (getting the $1,000 rebate). I just checked Ford.com again and for my zip, it's still $500. The 'old' $500 offer, according to the site, expired yesterday, but seems to be renewed through 7/2.

 

Jason,
Sticker on mine is $27,880.00 factory invoice $26,690.00. After some brief going back and forth we settled upon $26,160.00. I also called Ford again this morning for whatever reason the rebate is back to $500 here also and that runs to 7/2. I hope the **** thing arrives prior to 5/5 so I can use my $750 private cash with the $500 from Ford.

 

That's great, I figured you got a good deal - sounds like a lot of car for the money, especially if you end up somewhere below $25k.

 

Don't worry, guys. I will do my best to make this wait as painless and informative as possible.

Deysha

 

Speaking on behalf of all, we appreciate it!

 

Yea man I'm stoked! Some have gotten their cars earlier than ETA. Fingers crossed!

Nice build, I had that exact build at first then swapped over to DIB and the electronics pack. I too am spoiled hehe. I was shooting for a Shelby or a boss but this'll hold me over till after I get a house hebe.

 

Mine are crossed too. Sold my G37S in December and we've been sharing 1 car since.

Thanks man, you too. My dealer had a DIB GT Track in stock for about a week. It was a beautiful car, I'm just not a blue guy.

I was also contemplating a 2013 Shelby. Had the price not jumped, it would have been tempting. I'm with you though, trying to think down the road for the next house - have about 5 years to prepare for that, and didn't want a bad decision now to make things more difficult then. And for the money, what we're getting in a car is pretty phenomenal. The Shelby's a great value too, but ours may be even better.

 

Thank you, jason523. It's really appreciated!

Deysha

 

Thanks Deysha!! Looking forward to hearing from you soon

 

I would have loved a GT but I figured I'd keep things $$ down and still get something unique. I now have to get to work on selling my 2010 Jeep Sahara! Shouldn't be an issue with the weather changing plenty of people love to get into a Jeep.

Do you have any mods in mind?

 

Nothing wrong with that decision.

I'll stay mostly stock, but right off the bat I'm doing coil-overs (I'm thinking Multi-Pro-R1 from Eibach, plus adjustable panhard for the rear) and a Borla S-Type cat-back exhaust.

That's all for the near term. If the transmission gives me any trouble, I might get the Shelby one from Tremec, but that's down the road and hopefully not necessary.

You?

 

Thinking about the larger BBK throttle body with a CAI and a cat back exhaust. This should keep me busy for part of the summer.
