When looking at VIN #'s the last 6 are the production sequence and will start with a 1 or 2. The 1 is a marker and the last five are actual production #. For example 144666 would be the 44,666 mustang produced for the year. This is important to be able to ballpark how long the dealer has been sitting on the car you are looking at.
And thanks all for the responses!

if you buy by 9/30 i know there are rebates. I just picked one up last night and got $3500 in rebates. It would have been $5000 but ford credit sucks. their rates were 10.9. ended up going through a local bank instead for 7.5%. I cant do much better as i just bought a house and my income to debt ratio sucks as a result. but now is a good time.

It's also on the mustangs. When I went on my drive south to Florida from Canada, I stopped in NC to check out the mustangs (I was trading in my car, and ouch, mustangs in Canada are so expensive!). Found a great stang, got a good monthly price for it and all... Then they apologized saying they got the numbers by assuming we were a resident at NC and thus giving us 0%. We then tried to figure out any way I could still get that 0%. Didn't work out in the end. But yes, it is offered on the stangs, at least it was a month ago. I don't see why that would change.

I just bought an 08 and got $6000.00 off. $2000.00 of the discount is due to financing through Ford. I'll pay their high intereste rate for one month and then refinance with my credit union to lower the intereste rate.
