    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    If someone is willing to pay a $9k markup for a V6 they have deep self-esteem and acceptance issues and need to seek therapy immediately! :rlaugh:

    Otta be a law.........

    Why the obsession with chromed 20+ inch wheels...especially with floaters or spinners...on a passenger car? They look flat out stupid!

    Any ideas for a good vanity plate?

    SWFTPNY...already ordered it! Too bad I'll bet getting my vanity plate before I'll get my GT vert. :notnice: This is once case where the CA DMV is actually better and faster than Ford Motor Company.

    Ditto on Board Ford! The salesperson I spoke with was rude, annoying, condescending and dishonest...and those were his admirable qualities. He actually said that "people are lined up to buy them at $10k over MSRP" and that Ford wasn't taking any more orders for 2005 GTs and that was back in...

    Goof, You can go to almost any other "fine" Ford dealership in the area and get the same stellar reception and customer service you received at South Bay Ford! I pretty much tried them all before I resigned myself to a 12-week wait and placed my order with Villa Ford. The most egregious...

    I concur Bullet. Sometimes you read something that is so sour and ignorant that it demands an appropriate response.

    Me too. 54V all the way. But it's much more fun to talk about racism, socio-economics and public policy. The "spoilers" of society.

    Hold on a minute...I had to check my map to make sure because based on your comments, for a second I thought Temecula was actually in Mississippi or Alabama. If you're paying thousands of dollars for insurance each year, you're either young, have a bad driving record, an exotic car or all...

    05 and 06 differences? Are there any?

    My understanding is that exterior color and wheel options are going to change...that's about it...except pricing will probably change too.

    Amen! I remember in the 80s when people were fleeing the rust belt to our fair state there was a popular bumper sticker that said..."Welcome to California. Now go home!". Housing is expensive here but have you tried NYC or Honolulu? They're worse! I bought my place in '92 for $220k and...

    Can you say "prejudice"? Some people can't appreciate any heritage other than their own. I've lived here (LA and Orange County) all of my life and I love that fact that we have a diverse culture and the best whether in North America! Where else can you find an old Tastee-Freeze or Pup-n-Taco...

    X/A/D Plans - where was (if) yours honored. N-S-E-W?

    I found a dealer here in southern California that honored X-plan on a order for a GT vert. I have it in writing along with my DORA. The order was placed on 3/18 and I'm still C/U. I'm expecting to get my vert at the beginning of June. Here are the details: GT Premium Convertible...

    The rest of the country is bitter. :stick: Over 35 million people...the most populous state in the union...gives us 53 representatives in the House. That means that OUR opinion matters more than someone from Ohio or Kansas. You might not like it but it's reality...deal with it. People flock...

    Mother nature destroyed my baby.

    :doh: What's hail? Living in southern California does have some benefits... I can't remember the last time I saw a hail stone! That plus all of the fake noses, chins and breasts which I see everyday. :lol: I guess a major earthquake every 15-20 years is a small price to pay to protect...
