    2nd Defective Gas Tank

    sometimes it fills up without a hitch. When it doesn't, then simply turning the nozzle upside down (can rest it on the cover) works fine. I don't want to take it in to fix such a trivial thing. If I had bought this car with cash on the street and it had this fillup issue, I would be way way...

    Negotiating Extended Warranty

    that site you linked says my VIN "doesn't belong to a Ford vehicle"... anyway - why not just buy from Fordwarrantys.com? Steep discounts after they email you a coupon - hard to beat. I'm getting ready to cancel my ESP, just because I'm having a change of heart about having one in the...

    Gotta Have Stripes!

    Trent: I saw a silver GT coupe with black stripes and I had to chase it down on the freeway and give thumbs up. It was awesome.. I might have traded him my GT vert on the spot.

    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    Ariel and Ariel Appreciation are two awesome funds that have outperformed the S&P over almost every timeframe. I could go on and on but I'm not a pro at investment advice... I'm speaking in generalization. Fair enough for you to call me on it - I can't spell out a foolproof way to make 9% but...

    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    Disagree 100%. Just because you finance doesn't mean you can't afford it! :-) Actually I don't disagree 100%. Taking a variable HELOC to buy toys is quite stupid. But generally I think you should borrow all the money you can get your hands on at today's rates. Part with as little cash...

    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    Harrold Ford in Sacramento sells at MSRP, if they have any left... they might be sold out for MY05. I had an internet quote from Folsom Lake for $1K over MSRP for a GT coupe, but maybe they've increased their markup since then (was about 5 weeks ago). Suburban/Future: gotta be kidding...

    noone probably cares anymore

    I'm glad your patience paid off! Congratulations! It is good to hear some of those x-plan orders actually make it to people's driveways

    Just bought 05 GT Convertible

    Get over the sticker shock - you can only get the deals available to you and "MSRP" is the best deal many people have access to. I paid full MSRP and I would have paid more. If you got some shaved off MSRP then cheers. Yes Graphicguy is driving an XPlan GT, but not too many people are...

    Curious - GT Convertible price tags

    For the most part it's a "take it or leave it at MSRP" proposition. Some dealers more, rare dealers less. $38K is a piggie price with markup or special wheels added. Loaded automatic is around $35K. Stripped manual is around $30K. Great car for the price I think - good luck.

    GT on used car lot

    Maybe he got too many tickets... had to trade in for something slower and less tempting :-)

    At first I had it "Sacramento Kings Purple", but now I have it "matches the rest of the interior lights Green".

    Seat Belt Sticker Removal: Piece Of Cake!!

    If I had removed the stickers, then I would not put new ones on. But as an alternative to your blowdryer and toothbrush method - I think COVERING them with something is a fun alternative. Then when I get sufistercated like you EXCON, I can get out my toothbrush, blowdryer, and scotch...

    Seat Belt Sticker Removal: Piece Of Cake!!

    Hey I like those stickers... but the black one is selling for $25, more than double the other colors... dang. If I saw that sticker in the store I'd probably buy it - it's a great idea. Excon - you'll put scotch tape all over your paint but you won't cover your seatbelt sticker? come...

    Anyone Fanatical About Their Car?

    I'm struggling to find equilibium here. I want it to stay pristine, but it's a black car and it's driving me crazy.... and it's only been three weeks. I'm kind of hoping for that first door ding to chill me out and get me back to normal -but with a car this pretty, you kind of have an...

    how much?

    If it was on the lot for you to drive home tonight and you fell in love you could be forgiven for paying a markup imo (it's YOUR money after all). But for an order? Just take "safeway" and remove the "f" from "safe" and then remove the "f" from "way", and what do you get??? right...
