A dealer located about 70 miles away advertised an ’06 Mustang with 4.0 and automatic for $15,995. This was with a $1,500 discount off an already discounted MSRP of $17,995, and another $500 discount on top of that. Since I’ve seen similar ads for ’06 Mustangs with manuals I called to confirm that it had an automatic and was assured that it did. Thus, I bundled the wife and Dalmatian into our SUV and made a mad dash to the dealership, hoping to get there before someone snapped up the deal before me. However, when I got there they apologized and told me the ad was wrong and that it was a manual and not an automatic. I said, fine, go find one with an automatic and give it to me at the same price, because they not only had it wrong in the ad but misinformed me when I called to confirm the ad. They had to call the General Manager and he came in to straighten things out. I ended up getting a 2007 with automatic for the same MSRP of $17,995. Believe me I tried to get the additional $1,500 factory rebate, but since that came from the factory (as stated in the ad) they could only give me the factory rebate of $500 that Ford is giving for the 2007, plus another $500 on top of that. So, my bottom price on the 2007 with automatic was $16,995. Yes, I paid $1,000 more than in the ad, but then there was no way around the fact that the factory rebate on the 2007 is $1,000 less than on the 2006, and after all it is a 2007. I know I got a great deal. If anyone has done similar, or better, please share your story.

It sounds like he got an 07 with an auto transmission, according to this statement in his post:
