New...not yet a GT/CS owner
I am looking to purchase a GT/CS within the next month or so. Being from NJ, my area is saturated with Ford dealerships with a couple CS models in stock. My question is, did most of you here order this car to your specs or take delivery from your dealer's lot? Do you pay more if you order one?

I looked at dealer inventory within the state using the FordDirect website and found what I wanted and then I had my local dealer get the car I wanted. They made some kind of arrangement, but it did not cost me nothing extra and had the car within a few days. But if you can't find a car you want with all the options then you may need to order one.

I'm not paying anything more for a factory order, most likey due to the timimng I'm hoping for some of thoses insentives to still be in place, so it's nothing like trying to get a Shelby GT 500. except the wait then could take at least 4 months.

Dan, Did a quick search and found two in your area. Both are Manuals, with pretty much the same options (IUP, Shaker 1000) one was Vista Blue (Best color IMO) and Black (Second best) I can tell you which dealers if you want to take a look. Send me a PM and I can get you the information.

I ordered mine and it didn't cost me a penny more than one straight off the dealer's lot. I've sold my home and I'm currently on the hunt for a home with a garage. So, ordering was the best way for me to go since I've got no place to store the car for now. Besides, I got the car just the way I want it and I plan on keeping it until I can't drive anymore....might as well get it the way I want it.

Also from NJ. Southern NJ here. We ordered our car from Ace Motors in Woodbury. Got it in four weeks. Checked out three other dealers, and got best deal at Ace. What area are you in?? We found several coupes on lots, but not many convertibles. Check the internet for dealers with CS's in your area.

Hey guys...thanks for all the help!
I am still undecided on the color...in and out. I have a 2003 Explorer that is coming off lease on July 2nd. Do you guys think it will be harder to find what I want that late in the year? Is there still a posibility to order one from the factory so late?

It is entirely up to the dealer. I did not believe this after my first denial, so I called Ford. The dealer has the right to refuse to sell at A/Z/X plan on any vehicle. If you check around, you will find a dealer that will give plan pricing on the GT/CS.

I've seen it in a few places but this is the only one I could find.

Almost all the dealers that I spoke with in this area will offer the X-plan for the GT\CS. But you are right the dealer has the right to refuse the plans. There are so many dealers around the area that I am sure that one can be found. Should not be a problem.
