I think what he meant to say was how long will it take for "normal" discounting (below MSRP, even if only by a little bit) to kick in for GT convertibles. My guess is happens a couple of months into the 2006 model year (for new 2006's). That is assuming that Ford doesn't try to maintain an artificial shortage of convertibles by ignoring customer demand.

By the time the newness factor starts to wear off this summer, it will be already too late for the 2005 model year. Plus, by mid- to late-Fall there will be a bit of seasonal drop-off in convertible lust.

In the end, Mustangs are pretty high-volume cars, even the convertibles, so there is no long-term reason for premium pricing.

Thanks rschleicher. That is exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping that around late November, I may be able to pick one up for 30k.

The only problem is, a lot of dealerships are out of 2005 allocation and are taking sold orders on 2006 models. The GTs are limited to 25% of a dealerships total mustang allocation. For example, if a dealership gets 20 mustangs a month (and most won't) they are limited to 5 GTs and must divide that number into Coupes and Convertibles. So if he has orders for 4 Coupes, he is only going to get 1 convertible, and vice versa.

It's simple,
1. Join the Military, finish boot camp, do your AIT and get stationed overseas.
2. Order Mustang pay 29,000 and some change for NEW GT Conv.

or, You can wait a couple of years!
