Joe G Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Miss Model, Please take the time to get something in writting from your dealer. They can change there mind a raise the price if you don't know exactly what they will charge. I have gone through this and it is not pretty. Agree 100%!! Holy cow, if you don't know what the dealer is going to charge you for a car that has already been ordered you may be in for a BIG SURPRISE!! (and not a good one, either, I guarantee!!) Looking at my crystal ball... I see Miss Model crying as she finds out the "deal" her dealer is going to present her with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acobra Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I used to check in once a day now it is every hour or less! Today I drove around to the diff Ford dealers just to see the various colors on the Mustang so I can finally decide on one{have to be ready to place that order}. As of right now it will be Vista Blue with Performance White stripes :D I hear ya brother! I have a Vista w/white stripes 06 convert with the pony pkg and premium interior. I can't begin to tell ya how many comments and looks I get! So when the chance came to put in an order for the Shelby.... You guessed it - Vista w/white!!!! White and Blue had been the American racing teams colors and were prominant on the early Shelby's and GT40's. :burnout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orf Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'm in the same boat with one of my orders, which is why I contacted a second dealer. The first dealer will not put anything into writing until MSRP is announced. Second dealer agreed to 5K over, but likely won't get it until next year sometime. I can cancel either at anytime, and both dealers know I have 2 orders in. This is how bad it's gotten for me: I'm actually considering going through with both orders. That'll make the wife reeeeal happy with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmodel12 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I gave a refundable deposit of $500.00 (all in writing and signed) and so far I am number 2 on the dealer list with me being the first one to spec out and order a car. Nothing in writing as to price but was told two to five thousand over the msrp. My father also went to school and is friends with the dealship owner. I am not saying I have any pull but since 1952 we(our family) has been treated very fairly by our Ford dealership. I know times have changed but you will not see me sheading a tear if I do not get the car. It is something I want but do not have to own if there is a tremendous price gouge. At my age you live with ups and downs and it would be nice to own if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
442forever(noolds) Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I know the feeling. I gave 1k for an unknown price until the msrp is released. Alloy coupe with satin silver stripes. Number two on a small dealers list, probably 10k over if my gut feeling is correct.BOHICA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
