If it was me id save up a little more and wait for the next full-on SE (boss?) to show up and pick up one of them.

But in the end its all up to you, if you think youll be happy with this then scoop it up.

That would most likely be all the Mustang GT owners racing to get a glimpse of the Bullitt!

I decided to pass on for now. Just not something I need right now and I still want to try and find a GT500. I love this car and what it represents but if I am going to take the plunge into a new mustang I intend to go all the way.

Exactly. While the Bullitt represents an interesting - though a bit lackluster - package in its own right, the GT500 is more than a pretender, it is a bonafide SE: it has looks, pedigree and serious power.

It's like going to a steak house and just ordering a salad: why bother? Go for the GT500, you won't regret it.

Eye examinations are free in Canada, and quite painless.

Perhaps you should consider one...?

Another not Trollish at all post. Just pure hard consideration of the pros and cons

Depends on the type of car you want. Performance, HP, Handling.
There's a Mustang out there for everyone and more to come.

Sounds like it is the GT500 05retro really wants. Wait it out for what you really want unless you do a step mid range and meantime expect to trade up later.

IMO, you would not regret waiting for the GT500. Just let it breathe and it makes a noticeable difference in power.

correctimundo. I like the Bullitt and I can get one and afford it right now. But I have been wanting a GT500 for a while now and still dont want to give up on it. If I could have both I would. (George I am jealous as hell btw). The quest continues.

A mid range trade up is an option but I cant justify losing value on two cars before I get the one I really want.

For me, 500hp is too many ponys for the daily driving that I'd do. Sure, it's a lot of fun, but there isn't a whole lot of room to open one up unless on the track and I'm not a track guy. So, the Bullitt is the better fit. But, if you want the GT500... wait it out.

That's fantastic. I thought though that rebates/incentives had been cancelled for application to the Bullitt?

My salesguy is communicating with his Ford rep right now about it. I don't know if the rebates and such are going to be cancelled for it or not. X-plan will also be confirmed.

I took advantage of the rebate in 2001 although the circumstances appear to be different now. The '01 Bullitt was classied as a Mustang GT with the Bullitt package. It seems lately Ford has been more specific on models and how rebates are applied to them. The window sticker will be a good indication and a guide for possible rebates.

This Bullitt is presented as a package on the Mustang GT, at least in that it does not have it's own Order Guide.

Rebates are always good

The Region reps seem a little clueless on this car. I hope you get good info.

My salesman called his rep and gave me the good news. I wil get the A-Plan and rebates. Life is good. Maybe because I'm a good customer? I don't know.

If you want to see something silly, check out Ford's site regarding the rebates on the Bullitt. It runs from 10/2/07 - 11/30/07! Plus you must "Take new retail delivery from dealer stock by 11/30/2007"! Stupid Ford site...

Hopefully they will have additional rebates loaded after 11/30
