Hi,I'm planning to purchase in summer of 2020 a 2020MY Bullitt. I have researched excessively on this vehicle for the last year. I told my friend the plan who is a salesman at the dealership. He has been helpful letting me drive the car, etc. I told I plan to order on 1/31/2020 with Barry who does the ordering. It takes around 4 months I have found out through helpful information from this group. I told him when the car is delivered in early June we can then make the negotiations. I asked him also to let management know of my plans. He said he will let them know and said,
"...but price negotiations are done before you do a build. If you don't agree to the numbers, they won't build it. All that has to be done prior to the ordering."
Folks, can anyone tell me if this is the case? That does not seem right? I have never heard of that?
So basically what is being told to me is at time of build in January you price negotiate maybe slightly below MSRP and make the deal. The dealership gets the build for you. When it comes delivered 4-5 months later. You pay the previously negotiated price and shake hands and you are on your way with your new beautiful vehicle.
BS!
What happens when it is delivered 5 months later and the fair market purchase price drops down lower? The customer paid too much in the negotiation price at build 5 months earlier. Shouldn't you be able to negotiate the price at time of delivery? Isn't this the reason for the deposit? I thought the dealership can't make you negotiate cost at time of build. This seems to be wrong? There is no loss for the dealership if you back out because of the deposit. Sure the dealership has to now sell the car.
So, If anyone can tell me the process of negotiations and how it works. Is this the case for what my dealership friend said?
Thank you...

I ordered my 2020 Mustang GT back on June 18 without any deposit. I sent a filled out order form and my salesman passed on the order to Ford. They told me the price would be negociated at the time of delivery since they didn't even have the 2020 prices yet. I got a confirmation of the order 2 weeks later and the VIN on Sept 3 (that was a long wait...!). My car was built on Sept 5 and I'm getting it next week, I got pictures of her 3 days ago. Price negos were done over the phone with my salesman. Got a good deal and most important, a car that is exactly like I wanted it:
2020 GT
6 speed
Twister orange
PP1
Active exhaust
