e92 M3 but a GT350 soon maybe
Just an FYI - I received this email a little bit ago Thursday 4/8 from a dealer I am on a wait list for:

The order bank opens Friday and we will be going through the list and calling you all soon, so in the mean time I want you guys to get educated on the new car and options so please see the attached order guide. Pricing isn’t listed yet, but should be in a couple days.
Seems to indicate order banks are opening tomorrow 4/9.

If I ordered a 2017 this month, when would you expect it to arrive at the dealer?

First 2017 job is rumored to start June 2nd. If that's true, with shipping, and probable QC checks, tack on an extra month to that, minimum. So I doubt any earlier than July, but it could be later.

Do the order banks historically open before pricing is released and allocations are allocated?

Thank you. I found a dealer who has an incoming 16 and should be arriving in May. But, I may hold out and place an order on a 17, Especially if I can get into one by August. I think it may be better to wait three months. This way I can get the track pack with recaros and nav., and the 16 the dealer wants 5k adm and the 17 I found a dealer who will do msrp. So it would probably cost me the same.

I'd wait for the 17 in your case, even if it's longer than 3 months, solely for no ADM. Plus, I would have loved to be able to get the track pack and sync 3. But just know it could be significantly longer than 3 months because it doesn't matter when you order, it matters when your dealer's allocation gets pulled for scheduling. And there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason as to how that works. Good luck, and I'm sure you'll be happy whichever way you go.

Stopped by my dealer to check on 16 build status and 17 order. :ford:

He tried to enter the order, but got the response "2017 Mustang Order Bank Pending". However, he also showed me that many of Fords computer systems are having trouble today, so can't tell if that's the issue at the moment. :shrug:

Ok, 2015 (2016MY) all over again.

Yes the Order banks open well before pricing is released. Order banks in theory initially open for dealer stock, not customer orders so pricing is irrelevant. Not to say a dealer won't custom order on day one, but it goes in as a dealer and not a customer order.

Ordering on day 1 or day 30 etc has NOTHING to do as to when you get your car. Cars are supplied by allocation and release by the zone manager. If your ordering from a small dealership that sells few mustangs then you can order on day one but your car may not be released and built until the last month of the build year--11 months later....

Are allocations released prior to the order banks opening?

Not sure what that means. In my case, i don't care when I get it, I just want a written deal on a confirmed R allocation at a price I am willing to pay. I started the hunt last July for my 16, so I fully understand the process. I don't want to be one of the sad cases of being advised at the end of the MY that their allocation, and hence their order does not exist. These are very hard to find and I had (another) one fall on me. :cheers:
