Also be sure to check to see what kind of financing Ford is offering - the interest rate can make a huge difference in payments.

Sound about right?
:confuse: :confuse:
This week the search ended with the purchase of an '06 GT convertible. Here's the numbers:
MSRP - $35,030 (Torch Red with Parchment interior and top and equipped with automatic, side air bags, IUP, alarm, boot cover, and 18 inch polished wheels).
Purchase price - $32,530 plus $250 doc fee. Included were several accessories (all weather mats, chrome exhaust tips, '07 plenum cover, and touch up paint) worth about $250. Took the zero percent financing in lieu of the $1500 rebate.
Quotes from three Ohio dealers were close (low was $32,321 and high was $32,530). However the highest price was way more than offset by a higher trade allowance and the actual bottom line difference was about $850.
I would not hesitate to recommend the selling dealer - Dick Masheter Ford in Columbus - to anyone. They believe in no bull and no pressure and were truly delightful to buy from.
Black leather interior
IUP - satin silver
18" "Fanblade" wheels
Shaker1000
Side air bags
Wheel locks
Active alarm system
Manual transmission
Sticker - $30,345
X-Plan price - $28,064
$411 per month after 0% for 72 months and TTL (no other fees are charged with X-Plan).
I originally planned on ordering an '07 in March but this deal saved me about $140 per month assuming Ford doesn't offer 0% or some large rebate on an '07 Mustang in March. I highly doubt that will happen. Plus I got a couple of options I wouldn't have ordered due to price so I'm a very, very happy new Mustang owner! It's my first one and I've been waiting a long, long time for it.
would have to be an 06, there is 2k in rebates on a 06.
Oh and if you found a dealer that had more than one or two to pick from, you probably don't want to buy from that dealer.

I can't think of a single reason why the above statement would be true...but I'm always willing to learn.
Please explain.
If you see a dealer that has alot of these on the lot, there may be a reason why no one is buying from that dealer.
Out of the 300 dealers closest to me, no dealer is showing more than 6 06 Mustangs of all kinds in their inventory.

If it is an 06, it mostly has been sitting on a lot for 6 months or more.
Do you really want to purchase as new a vehicle that was sitting on someones lot that long?

Re: "Do you really want to purchase as new a vehicle that was sitting on someones lot that long?"
That's a different question than buying a leftover car from a particular dealer, don't you agree?
In the end, the dealer is merely a conduit through which you purchase the car. Post-sale, it just doesn't matter what dealer sold it, since it's backed by the manufacturer, not a particular dealer.
All IMHO.

i was curious about the heated seats? do they make a difference? i've never owned a car with them, but when i talk to people with them, they all recommend it, especially with leather seats.
any suggestions if i should keep them or not?

Also, .. I'll have an X-Plan to use when buying, but would like to know which "ways" the finance office will try and add money to the "deal", so I can be ready. Or maybe there's a website that discusses this?
thanks in advance for your replies! Happy Holidays!

Just say no to any dealer add-ons that they try to sell you (paint protection, etc.) because even if you wanted it you can get it cheaper elsewhere.
As for financing, I always do my own through the credit union. I would arrange for your own financing ahead of time, then you can compare it to what the dealer is offering. You can take the Ford financing if it includes bonus cash, wait a couple of months and refinance it on your own.
X-plan is the highest price the dealer can charge, NOT the lowest!
If you try, you can probably get better than X-plan on some models...Explorers, F series, etc.

1st question--- Those of you that hit up the 0 percent interest offer last year, did they ask for a down payment and if so how much? I have great credit (somewhere around 770)but i'm hoping to get away without a down since all my extra money is going towards getting the credit card paid off.
2nd question--- Here is what i'm looking for and you tell me if you think it can happen.
2007 Premium 6cyl
Automatic
Interior upgrade package
17" wheel upgrade
Leather heated seats
Anti theft system
I'm looking to stay under $25,000 total with taxes (7.875) so that I can keep my payment around $350 a month. What do you guys think?
However, the odds of Ford ever again running such a promotion are somewhere between slim and none. It was remarkable in two respects - 0% for 72 (not 60 months) for ANY credit tier, an unprecedented offer. And it did exactly what Ford wanted in clearing their lots of excess inventory.
Sorry, can't help with prospective pricing.
Sticks are commanding a premium, maybe $700 to $1000 off of sticker. Autos are probably going for around $500 to $750 over invoice.
The one on my lot has no spoiler, so they are out there.
Mark.
The 18 inch wheels are even more limited.
You can call around and ask dealers now much over invoice they are willing to place an order for.
Make sure that the dealer actually has allocation or the car will never get scheduled. Also, make sure that the dealer gives it a priority of 10 which is the highest priority.
Mark.
Any idea of the lead time? I'm guessing 6-8 weeks. Do you think it makes a difference whether I order in mid-Feb or late March? I'd rather order in March, but I'd move it up if it's worthwhile.
If you want 18 inch wheels, it might even be a longer wait. Dealers are only allowed to order a small percentage of cars with 18 inch wheels.

You can find this out by running a car fax if you have the vin.
