This is rumor through a friend of a friend of a friend who heard it from his aunt's neighbors nephews brother, but they laid off the lightning guys, not the cobra/gt500 guys. > So who's going to built the GT500? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >>> Not A goood sign at all. > Wasnt this expected? The SVT lightning is going away after all.. > >> Not A goood sign at all. Wonder what part of Ford's sales is made up of SVT type vehicles? And, what does this mean for the new Cobra Mustang? Al, SVT Contour Cobras will still be getting made. In fact, I already have an order in for one through my local svt dealer. Dunno about the sales breakup, but i doubt svt makes up alot of sales. >> Wasnt this expected?

Easy, I agreed to pay $15k over sticker, and gave them $15k. >> Cobras will still be getting made.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >> How does one order a car without a price even set? Disgusting! You must too filthy rich. :) Actually, I've been saving up for the cobra since like '92. And I emptied my piggy bank to give them the downpayment. Now I gotta save up enough to actually pay for/put enough down to finance the sticker price:) While still maintaining my '05. >> Easy, >> I agreed to pay $15k over sticker, and gave them $15k.

I just don't understand this sort of behavior. Then again I never understood why people had to be the first on the block or whatever and pay huge premiums. I suppose this is what makes dealers think a mustang cobra is like a ferrari or something that can't be touched, let alone test driven. If enough people do this, I won't be buying one. I am not going to put with the carry over from the 6 cylinder base car and pay 55 grand. THats the problem. There are a total of 3 dealers in this state that sell SVTs and are fully authorized to maintain them. Two are owned by an a.shole I refuse to deal with. That leaves one dealer, who's estimating getting 10 cobras. Between the owner, and his family, 7 are already spoken for. And since this particular car has been a wet dream of mine since I saw concept drawings years ago, and well, rational or not, I just had to have it. >> Easy, >> I agreed to pay $15k over sticker, and gave them $15k.

So ford is still doing this crap. Made to order is a lie then. Still rationed out for people bid on the few that don't go to connected people. If true I won't be buying a cobra, and since that's the only level of mustang I'll consider, unless I there is a saleen for similiar value sticker to sticker, my next car won't be a ford. > > Easy, > > I agreed to pay $15k over sticker, and gave them $15k.

I simply _had_ to get my '03 Cobra right of the bat, and paid list. Friends of mine, who had the patience to wait, paid between 6-10k $ less. Six grand buys some nice mods. :) As much as I want that next Cobra, I'll wait it out this time. Paying list is bad, more than list...no thanks.  SignatureJohn C. '03 Cobra Convt.

John, The last I heard Ford is going to build all they can sell. Patrick '93 Cobra Youre talking about the build-to-order ones... theyre going to be $10k over a prepack cobra anyway:) >> <japhar81> wrote in message > news:KpidncMsmPOleOvfRVn-sw@giganews.com...

Sorry I'm not is the business. What do these terms mean. Howard Supposedly, Ford will be doing two runs of cobras. What I call prepack is like the GT, this is the list of upgrades you get, and thats what you get. The built-to-order, youre supposed to be able to pick and choose your options, i.e. blower or not, myColor or not, etc. etc. >> Youre talking about the build-to-order ones... theyre going to be $10k > over [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Howard This is the first I have heard of a build to order option for the Cobra expanding the customizable option list which was previously limited t color, wheels, and spoiler or not.

Please, scan a copy of your order so I can finally expose this guy for the liar he is. Sure. ITs only got my name, social security number, address, phone number, and bank account number on it. Ill get RIGHT on posting that for you there carl. Stop trying to troll. Or at least do a better job of it. >> Cobras will still be getting made.

I don't think I've ever had a sales receipt from an auto dealer that displayed (or even needed) my SSN. Besides, you could always obscure your personal information, like you did with your license plate: http://www.hzdev.net/gallery/images/Mustang_NewWheels%20004.jpg http://www.hzdev.net/gallery/images/Mustang_NewWheels%20008.jpg Nevertheless, I can understand why one would be hesitant to post a sales order. Please give me the number of your dealer, so I just telephone him myself. I'm considering a down payment myself, but can't find a local dealer willing to take one. Thanks in advance. >Hmmm...

Every 'sales contract' I've seen from an automobile dealership asked for the SS # of the buyer..... YMMV of course. >>Hmmm...

We're hanging in there, one day at at time. You know the routine. So I've got to hear about the Mach. How's Mike doing? Does he still have the Fox? Shoot me an e-mail if you get a minute.

YMMV of course. A "sales contact" and a "sales receipt" are two completely different things. But as you said, YMMV. The truth is, I think japhar was lying when he said he put a down payment on the next Cobra, and I'm trying to give him every opportunity to prove me wrong. >> >Hmmm...

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >A "sales contact" and a "sales receipt" are two completely >different things. But as you said, YMMV. I've never gotten a "sales receipt". Do you mean just a receipt of funds such as a deposit put down? If so then I understand your point now. :) >The truth is, I think japhar was lying when he said he put a >down payment on the next Cobra, and I'm trying to give him >every opportunity to prove me wrong.

Couldnt possibly be that unlike you, I have a job, and may have to travel occasionally. In any case, my life doesnt really revolve around people believing me online. Not that important to me. Sorry. > Not A goood sign at all. Where's the link? Everything I've been reading lately has SVT alive and quite healthy. Patrick '93 Cobra |
