2018 Mustang Orders Placed Thread (Vote/Share Here)

[DL109er]

I ordered a 2018 Mustang GT premium with PP1 and 400a package in Kona Blue on April 27th. They said it would be 6 to 8 weeks before delivery. However, I got a call from my sales guy this past Friday, who is a really good guy, and he said Ford told them they weren't making any more 2018 because they had met their production requirements/numbers for the country, or however that works. I was just on here reading the last few pages to see if that's what some of you were also talking about. So mine is going to be a 2019 he said. About $150 more than the 2018 which he said his dealer will eat that cost. His only concern is what rebates are available on the 2019. I had $2,000 in rebates on the 2018. And my otd cost, Tax & Tags included, was $41,000. Oh and yes, I'm a newbie on this forum, but not to Mustangs :-)

Yup - similar thing happened to me, but I'd put my order in on March 19 and they didn't tell me they couldn't do it until 4 weeks later(!) I'm surprised your dealer was even able to take the order that late.

Unlike you, I decided to take my chances trying to find a 2018 that's close, rather than wait for a 2019. Heh - and I'm still looking. . . .

Good luck with yours!!

Wow, your dealer should have known the 2018 order banks closed around mid March. Highly unlikely that on April 27 they could even substitute your car for one they already had in the system. I ordered a 2018 GT Premium on March 28th and that was too late. Lucky for me the dealer already had cars in the system for May builds and they substituted one for mine, which is currently 'in production'. Your dealer should be delivering your 2019 for the same price as they quoted you for the '18, including the rebates.

Thanx Chris!

We can wait, don't mind. This is going to be the fun vehicle, not a daily driver. And the longer it takes, the more of a downpayment I'll have when it arrives. I just don't wanna get hosed on the rebates/have to pay more bc of something out of our control

That's what I'm hoping for. After pricing it elsewhere, it seems we got it for a really good price. They went $1000 below invoice off the bat b/c we bought a 2016 F150 for my wife the day before. So I don't think I'd be able to start at $1000 below at any other dealers price b/c of that.

The EDD has updated for my Ecoboost Premium...........5/9 & in transit

Mine still has an EDD of 5/9, but it is still awaiting transit. It has been awaiting transit for almost 3 weeks now. Not quite sure what is going on. :frusty:

Taking delivery today. Originally targeted for the 4th of May but they kept it on the train to ride out the severe storms we had.

Picked it up over the weekend and just got back today

Hoping that the train is on time."

Well the long saga finally ended on Thursday. I found a car (acceptably) close to what I'd originally ordered about 90 minutes away, only major difference is that it's manual rather than automatic (no problem for me, but now the Missus can't drive the daily driver...). I'd also found ones that matched, and were automatic, but one was in TN and one was in MI and, after doing some more research, I decided I didn't want the hassle or uncertainty of buying and shipping a car from another dealer, sight unseen.

So I drove up to Prime Ford in Auburn, MA, saw in-"person" the car I'd seen online, took a test drive, and was sold. Only downside was that this dealer would only come down $200 from the internet price. Upside was that the internet price was already pretty amazing. So I put down a deposit (enough to cover the floormats, heh) and the Missus drove me over Friday after work to pay the balance and pick it up.

After having a nice celebratory dinner, she went on home via interstate and I started my "break-in" period following the NAV along backroads through the countryside of northeastern CT with the Shaker PRO Audio belting out Rush and other roadtrip-appropriate tunes, all while getting used to how different this shifting is compared to what's on my '04 Tacoma.

Thanks again to you all for the empathy, encouragement, and patience on my way to this point. Life is good.

How’s the shaker pro playing Rush? Any specific setting you used in the equalizer? I usually set higher trebble and the bass around 25% lower than the trebble. I love the sound of the high hat and simbals. Can’t wait for mine to arrive!

I have Rush on my iPod (old school) plugged into one of the USB ports.

And so far I just maxed out the 3 EQ settings I figure I'll dial them back/customize them later... Loving the subwoofer in the trunk. The stereo upgrade isn't something that was on my original order (neither was the 12" digital display ) but I'm glad I have it and really loving it!

Good luck with yours!
