Here it goes, I ordered a 2011 GT-500 from my local dealer the first week the order banks were open, they had already sold their first and so far only allocation.

So I started calling around to find another dealer with an open allocation. I found one today, he has an allocation but doesn't know when its for. So in other words he can put in the order but cant tell me what month the build would be for. Does that make sense? Last year his car didnt show up until almost winter, but he didn't seem to know when they placed the order.

Do you think that if I take the car I would be looking at a fall build, or should it be pulled in a reasonable time?

Thanks for any information you guys can offer.

 

Hey Matt, its Jeff. If the dealer hasn't ordered a GT500 yet, and your order is their only one, they should get it in ASAP and have them contact their Ford rep to see if they can get it serialized. Ford will see its a legitimate order and get it built quick. My GT500 order was taken in early in the year and serialized in only a few weeks. Its built now and soon to arrive. They should just make a call/email their rep to let him/her know they have an order for a customer and to get it scheduled. Good luck and let me know how you make out. :nice;

 

Thanks, thats just what I wanted to here.

 

The order was actually placed yesterday and I got my Dora today. I was here 3mo ago, but this dealer has allocation and no other orders. I hope to see a VIN soon, I'll actually feel like I am in the clear at that point.

Not as good of a deal as my first order, but from what I have seen $700 over invoice is still a good price.

So what are my chances of having it in July?

 

$700 over invoice is a great price for a GT500. I paid $1k over invoice for my GT500.
