    Ford raising prices on the Mustang?!?!

    I called my dealer last week to remove the optional wheels on teh GT because I wanted the Bullits instead. The dealer sent me a new print out of the oder confirmation (not the DORA). This is the screen print that shows all the different option with the retail and invoice price. Well, I noticed...

    I need buying advice from some experts

    If you're not in a rush to order, wait until the Jan-Feb Auto shows. When i was considering the 05, the Ford rep at the Philly Auto Show last Jan told me a few things about the car. With all the rumors that were floating around, his info was the most concrete (estimated pricing, apx. release...

    2005 Mustangs in rain

    I'm in Philly and we get a fair amount of snow (although not at the levels of WI). I considered keeping my Blazer as a winter car but I just can't afford two cars. Look at this way, it's only a few months out of the year. Now think about how many days of those months there is actually snow ON...

    How much insurance?

    All these figures do nothing for the next guy. Your personal driving record, the area you live in, and of course, the amount of coverage you choose all affect your premium. I'm paying $2,220 per year, which is pretty good, considering I'm in the Philly area and my driving record isn't perfect...

    Hood Stripe an option??

    If you look in the Mustang brochure, page 24, you will find dealer installed options. Chrome Bullit wheels, Bluetooth wireless, and Stripes. So to answer your question: yes, Ford is offering this. But the problem is, the stripes only cover the hood, roof, and trunk. They don't go all the way...

    priority # ???

    I ordered on Saturday, 11/13. The DORA shows a process date of 11/15. Next to the VIN, there are 6 digits (partial VIN?). As of last Wednesday, the dealer says he checked on it but there's no info right now. I'm having trouble finding the dealer code To the left of the dealerships name is 6...

    How many ordered '05 w/ Spoiler Delete

    I was looking at that same CDC spoiler. As of now, my order has the factory spoiler included. Does anyone out there have an idea of how much of a pain it will be if I get the car with the factory spoiler then decide to replace it? Obviously, it will be easier to get it without any spoiler then...

    40th anniversary

    You're correct, but forget about the whole thing about no such thing 1964 1/2 for a minute. If you get married in 1964, you're 1st anniv would be in 1965. If you were born in 64, you turn 1 in 65. Back to the car: It all depends on how you interpret it. On April 17, 1965, the Mustang had it's...

    Go in there with all your ducks in a row. Have all your specs ready, and know the price for each option. Build your car on forddirect.com. When you walk into the dealership and show the salesman that you did your homework, he'll take you seriously. As for negotiating, ordering a car for a...

    FDAF Assessment, what is that and why did i pay $240 for it?

    Every car, including X-Plan cars has this. It's included in teh price of the car, therefore, you don't always see it, until you examine your DORA. If you look at the invoice price on ford's website, then compare it to others like Kelly Blue Book or NADA, you'll see that the invoice prices are...

    Fuggin soccer mom drivin a new GT

    Are we forgetting the fact that something like 50% of Mustang buyers are women. Also, 2/3 of all Stangs are 6 bangers. This is America, anyone can buy any car they damn well please. And like Mustang5L5 said, it could be a good conversation starter :D

    X-Plan for all!

    It's 4% +$150. Generally speaking, you can do better than X-Plan. Basically, X-Plan just eliminates the need for haggling. The price is set, no negotiating. If you have the time and the patience, you can negotiate a price equal to, or even better than, X-Plan. With the Mustang, dealers aren't as...

    Look at the thread titled "Ford.com has higher invoice than Kelly's, NADA, etc? " It's way back on page 7. 351CJ explains the $240 FDA. I came across the same thing when looking at invoice prices for the car and noticed that other websites had a lower invoice price than that of Ford. The 240 was...
