Ordered 05 GT 1/22/05; still not built yet :(

Didn't think so. The ******* salesperson told me I had to order it. I'm going to find that find print to verify and throw it in their face.

Unfortunately I still really really want my GT not to have the spoiler, which pretty much requires a custom order. I rented a V6 while out of town last month (Hertz seems to have no problem getting them) and it had a spoiler. I kept thinking my trunk was open. Drove me batty.

I also noticed when I was in the soutthwest I counted 5 05's on the road over the weekend I was there. I have only seen 2 in chicago area so far. I wonder how much allocation is based on geography.

12/7/04 here

5 months and still clean and unsecheduled. Meanwhile I hear people on this list ordering after me and still getting theirs.

I am going to start car shopping this weekend. Screwit, I might as well look at maybe an '04 GT0 or maybe even an SUV. I had at rental SUV while out of town this week and I kinda liked it (being higher up, more room, and this one had a decent bit of power to it).

For X-Plan, do you have to custom order or can I buy off the lot? I may just buy one off a dealer floor and compromise on some features.

I know, it's so freaking frustrating. I ordered my baby on 1/22/05 with X-plan and $1000 deposit thinking she would be on assembly within a month and delivered by end of April - NOT! Just now got my VIN# yesterday, which I'm told means she's not too far from assembly.

All that dealer BS is a load of crap. They don't want you to buy the ones off the lot, but would rather you order one. That's what they told me. Load of CRAP. Since I wanted the Red Leather option, my dealer told me it would be near impossible to "find" one, would need to order one instead. GRRRRR!

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hey guys,

I FINALLY spoke with the inventory manager at my dealership today and got the low-down on my baby (AFTER I ripped him a new one!). He told me that mine order is 2nd in line to be built and should go into production late next week. GRRR!!!

I am getting impatient with this, especially since I placed my custom order (along with my $1000 deposit) on January 22!! They keep telling me she will go on the assembly line late next week and should be delivered by MEMORIAL DAY?!?!?
