True, for the most part, but Ford's idea is that it's a limited run car, and the se for 2008 model year, so they are using that as an excuse...

Mistakes happen. There was a running debate recently about whether a Bullitt could be purchased using the X Plan. The bottom line finally came down to someone on the Ford website not updating to reflect that the Bullitt was ineligible. This was posted by bbf2530 on 2/8:
The following information I verified with AXZD-Plan Headquarters 10 minutes ago: The Bullitt is not eligible for X-Plan purchase. I did not jump in and mention this several days ago to avoid a debate on a subject that you would soon find the answer to, when you visited the Dealer. As of today, the "Ineligible Vehicle List" on the Ford Employee and Ford Partner websites had not been updated since 10/3/07. In reality, while the Bullitt was made ineligible by Ford approximately 1/9/08, it was never actually added to the "Ineligible List" on the websites. An oversight by the website managers.

you guys do realize that the "BULLIT" is a GT!
Look at the sticker....look up top left...clearly says..."2008 MUSTANG GT PREMIUM"
In 2004 when i purchased my mach1 it said "2004 MACH 1"
My point is that the BULLIT/CS are just GT's with an added OPTION...the BULLIT option goes for $3100, and the CS option goes for $1900
ITS A GT!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I just found a PDF dated 2-01-08 that does not show the bullitt as ineligible... I'll get it on here in a sec.
Here it is: Bullitt is eligible as of 2-01-08

It's my understanding that it was plan eligible in 2007, then at the beginning of 2008 for a few weeks in January it was not eligible, now it is eligible again. There is a thread or two floating around here somewhere from when it all happened, and one on Imboc as well, but I'm too lazy right now to look for them 
Personally I think that first week being 'off' was the mistake.

I gotta say this ADM crap for SE Mustangs is getting crazy! SEs don't seem all that rare considering that there are so many of them out there for this current gen. Though I personally am not a fan of the Bullet's styling I do like the overall performance gains from the base GT but with the ADMs the bargain is taken away similar to the GT500. Maybe it's just me but wasn't it easier to get SEs of the last gen (Cobra, Mach1, Bullet)

Here is the response that I got when I ask by email why doesn't the Bullitt qualify for rebates.

I can kind of understand why at this point there aren't any rebates on the Bullitt.
after the smart dealers not asking ADM have sold theirs, the others will have had Bullitts sitting around a while. Then you'll see rebates offered to move them.
Another reason why ADMs don't do the customer or Ford much good.

Well, if anyone is successful, this side of filing a lawsuit, in getting the $1500 rebate on their Bullitt, please let me/us know! It seems to me that Ford might have a problem when their web site states that the rebate is available on GT's, without specifically excluding the limited edition Bullitt, but when searching dealers' inventory for the options I wanted in LA, CA, all the other GT's were listed with the rebate, and none of the Bullitts were. I went ahead and bought mine last week.
