On my way to dealership
Wish me luck. I just got a call from a Ford Dealership telling me they would accept M.S.R.P. for a convertable GT. They have been asking $5000 over, and have refused to go below $2500 over. I may own my first Ford since my 1969 pickup. Will know in a couple of hours.

RE: On my way to dealership
I am now the owner of a Satin Silver 5 speed GT Convertable. Got it for MSRP on the condition that I will not tell anyone where I bought it. They have one on site and are about to receive 2 more. They claim they will not sell anymore for MSRP.

And this may be the first time in history that a dealer didn't want someone to tell anyone where they bought the car! lol

A lot of dealer mark them up. I get lots of business from people who got mad at their local dealer because of the mark up. And we get all the A & D plan customers because no one else will sell a GT Mustang Convertible on the "plan"

Honoring A, D, X plans is really a dealer decision. Ford can not require that a dealership honor the plan price. Ford simply reimburses a dealership a set amount depending on the plan. Most of the dealerships around here mark the GT's up $1500-$2500 dollars, mainly because they get so few, and they won't "plan" a GT. We get a lot more because of our volumn, so we don't mark them up and we will "plan" one if they order it.

That sucks! I guess that I'm nieve when it comes to this since I've always been spoiled with the A plan here in Motown where everyone and their mom works for one of the big three. Obviously all dealerships here accept any type of "plan" program because it's simple to drive 3 miles down the road to the next dealer and get it there.
