I have noticed in all recent communiques from Ford that they are now indicating a "Late Fall" release of the 2005 Mustang. Originally, they stated a fall release. The Mustang website, however, still says "Coming Fall 2004," but I am beginning to wonder when they will actually hit dealer lots.
If:
Late Sept/Early Oct = Early Fall
Late Oct/Early Nov = Fall
Late Nov/EarlyDec = Late Fall
And Ford is now stating Late Fall in their communiques, I am assuming that we won't see them on lots until Late Nov/Early Dec. Of course, Ford could be making this statement to err on the side of safety and I am sure Job 1 is still on schedule, it just raises the question of when we really will see the cars we ordered.
I have preordered Mustangs twice in my life, now a 3rd time, and the first 2 times I'll tell you this: whatever date the dealer gives you for your car to arrive, add two months. I ordered a 99 vert in Nov of 98, was told it would come in the third week of April... I got it August 9th, 1999.
