I've been calling around the Metro-Detroit area trying to find a dealer that will do A-plan. I found quite a few that will, but I also found these a$$holes who are trying to sell them for MSRP +$10k!!! It's Pat Miliken Ford in Redford. I told them I hope there's not an idiot in the country that will buy one from them at that price. What kind of idiot would buy a Mustang Cobra for $45,000??? It's a great deal at $35,000 for all the performance(and weight-sarcasm ) you get, but at $45K, i'm not sure! For the little bit more, I think i'd have to go with a M3 or Z06.

Anyway, I'm going in tomorrow to place a order on either a Sonic Blue, or Red Coupe with no options on it.

Ordered a Sonic Blue Vert from a dealer in the Northwest burbs at MSRP. It took 15 phone calls, but it was worth it. I originally had one ordered at $2000 over MSRP until I started doing my homework and discovered the definition of the phrase "Price Gouging".

Whatever you guys do DO NOT PAY OVER MSRP!! It might be hard to wait, but you will save thousands of dollars. If the dealers wont sell MSRP on the first run of about 4000 cars they will on the second run of 8000 cars.

I ordered mine at Mangold Ford for A Plan, alot of the dealers around me wont sell at A Plan so I just wont go there. But they have 5 cars allocated for the early run, so mine is the 6th car they will get allocated (in the second run). Its worth the wait for me to get it at A Plan. So what im sayin is you will get the car you want, all you might have to do is wait.

Sonic Blue coupe graphite inserts wing and aluminum rims, ETA of Halloween.

Until then Ill be enjoying my 01 Silver coupe, 370 miles, no mods.

I ordered an 03 Zinc Yellow with chrome wheels on 2-7-02. Hope to get it in May. But more than likely will not see it until June. There are always delays...

Cheers, :beer:
