To that end...http://www.showroom.ford.com/FDShowr...nsition=config
Once you've done all the options, it will try to get you to submit it to a dealer, just cancel out when done.

Ordering is easy. I have a 2013 on order right now. After getting my wife's MKZ I asked about a new Mustang and we went over what I wanted using the dealer order guide. He was inputting it to the system configuring as we spoke. After we had gone over the options and price (I get X plan) I said "I've never ordered a car before what do we need to do next when I'm ready to pull the trigger?" He reached up, hit a button on the computer and said "all set, your car is ordered"

Thanks to all for the great help.
Will all dealers give you the same base price based on options ordered or will there be differences at dealerships - i.e., should I shop at 2 or 3? Would I expect to pay MSRP or below? Should I work off of invoice? Thanks again.

Rogan - Before going into a dealership, get a Ford X-Plan PIN number from a forum member or neighbor that works for Ford. This PIN number will get you the best price as you will only pay a couple hundred dollars over the dealership's invoice. You will also get any rebates that are offered at the time of delivery as well as any special financing rates.

Go to edmunds.com and build the car and they will tell you what others are paying in your area. That will give you a target for what you should be able to buy the Mustang for.
Or, join Mustang Club of America (mustang.org) and as a member you can get an X plan pin to buy your new car. I think a membership is something like $50 a year. I get X plan through work as a supplier and the price was just a little over invoice, no haggle other than a trade in value to agree upon.

When you order car you just tell the sales guy what you want (I brought a printout from ford.com configurator with me) .. He then has the ordering guy put it into the order system. My dealer did a screen print of the order listing colors, options, etc that I had to sign before he pressed the submit key.
Give dealer a $500 deposit (that is what mine wanted) ... and then wait 8 to 10 weeks for the car. Once car is in you go through all the typical buying a car BS and paperwork.

If you are looking for a 12 GT try http://autotrader.com
Shop around! I live in Ohio and wanted a new 08 GT/CS. They were selling good in Ohio so the dealers didnt deal much. I went on auto trader and found exactly what I wanted in North Carolina. I settled everything by phone, rented a one way car, then me and the wife drove to North Carolina and saved about $5000 over the cost of the exact GT/CS that Ohio dealers had!!!! The GT/CS's werent selling hot there.
