Okay. I'm just writing what he told me. I'm new at this. Maybe you should call him and flush him out.

Mike, didn't mean to make you take offense. Sorry bud, no worries. I just don't know why a dealer would say that. The way Ford is doing this in regards to orders, is every dealer gets 1 car and the rest are based on Mustang sales each dealer does within their region. That isn't determined yet (at least that is what our rep has said).

 

Stop and think of where the dealer is located. All the Military base's located in the area. If 100 e-3's re-enlist per month with a $25,000.00 bonus, what would they buy ?.

 

Lol! I'm not offended. I mean I just can't always be sure what a voice on the phone is telling me in order to get me into the showroom

Mike

 

That's exactly what I was thinking, and is probably the only way it would be plausible from the Bullitt allocation rules everyone's been talking about (1 Bullitt to start then 1 Bullitt per 17 Mustangs by historical sales, et cetera, et cetera).

 

all i can say, is IM GLAD I DONT WANT THE SAME CAR EVERYONE ELSE IN S.A. HAS! LOL!!! 45 on order, get real

 

What's wrong with Texas? This is Mustang country, man.

 

If someone likes a car then what does it matter if someone or everyone else has the same car?

 

Agreed, If the troops buy them, with all the transfers, they will end up all over the country.When I was at MCRD, there were 22 Boss 302 Mustangs on post. I had to sell mine when I shipped out to S.E. Asia. I tried to buy it back when I returned but no deal.I know that If that dealer had one in stock, I would have flow down and drove it back home.

 

Yeah, besides... how many regular Mustang GT's are in any given metropolitan area anyway? Prolly a heckuva lot more than 50.

 

Doug, Please don't take any offense. None was meant. I meant it as I was always under the assumption that Ford F-Series trucks are the #1 sellers down there. That is what our factory rep always says. Trucks outsell cars by a large margin. Again, no offense was meant bud.

 

This is indeed pick-up truck country, and it is definitely F-150 pick-up truck country.

I think the Bullitt is mostly going to be attractive to older guys like me. Quite frankly I would like one of those Shelby jobs, but they come with the decals, which I regard as a kiddie thing. Even the all black one has the kiddie decals subdued. I'd like a power car, but without the carnival stuff on it.

That's logic, but I don't think it makes sense related to Ford's allocation system.
Why would Ford speculate on "what if" sales like that with so many of a special edition car?

Unfortunately they also are taking advantage of their confirmed sale orders by filling them with less priority.

 

According to the Bullitt guru's on IMBOC, there are more 2001 Bullitt's in Texas than any other state. That was in 2001, with the current registry.

 

Quick Note: Because of this ford allocation system.I drove to another Ford Dealership on saturday. Owned by a Famous Nascar Driver, previous Ford product and now drives for DEI. Ordered same Bullitt as before, lets see what happens.Big Dealer versus small dealer.Big Dealer had two enroute, not sold for stock.

 

I think your right on who the Bullitt will appeal to. Its a car that won't have the same "name recognition" a Shelby has, and with that, they will be easier to get IMO. And your right on the "carnival stuff". Some of that stuff is a turn-off to some people, and they like the "stealth look". If your in the group who likes subdued, guess my car won't work for ya. (Just playing bud).

 

Ford Was Gracious Enough to let us Get One!

By the way, the most current week's ordering restrictions have increased available Bullitt orders to 23% of all Mustangs that we can order, so now it's about 1 in 4 that can be a Bullitt. Sounds like Ford is ramping up allocation for awhile to get cars through the system faster to satisfy orders.

 

Sweet! Any guess if that is just regional or companywide?

 

I suspect it's companywide. The NW Region sure needs it. I hope the Region managers pay attention.
