Ordered Mine!

Went into our local bank on Friday to inquire about financing for a 2015 GT. Had built one online and MSRP came out to 37,3xx. Bank said that wasn't a problem, could do 3.25% on a 72 month term. I had tucked away 4k as a down payment, but i was super surprised at how little putting a down payment made a difference in the monthly payments. With the 4k the payments were like 515 a month, without it only went to like 570.

Knowing that i had financing in place we headed to Luther Ford in Fargo ND. I had been there previously to talk to a salesman and i liked the guy. We had to wait about 20 minutes in the showroom because he was working with another customer. Once he was free we headed out the look at one of the cars on the lot, because it had the Recaro seats in it, and i wasn't sure if i would like them. My back isn't the best. Got to sit in them, and generally liked them.

Headed back in, and built the car that i wanted. It was very nice that they didn't push the cars that they had on the lot. My order was as follows:

Base GT
Manual
Performance Pack
Recaro seats
in White

That was all. I don't care for adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring etc. I wanted the lightest GT possible. They already come with so many features standard.

Once we had the car built the financing lady came out and asked if we were interested in talking to her. Curious, we went for it. Even with taxes figured in, they knocked 3.5K off of the MSRP i was expecting to pay, and they were able to beat my banks interest rate, and came in at 2.5%. So I was pretty excited about that. Paid 34,1xx for at GT PP with recaros.

Very impressed with Luther Ford. In and out in a little under an hour, and that was with waiting 20 min to speak to who we wanted to.

Now just have to wait the 6-8 weeks for build. Argh!

Congrats! Welcome to the waiting pool!
I hope you're right on 6-8 weeks, my dealer told me 8-12 with all the spring orders anticipating warmer weather. I'm hoping for sooner, but a little longer is fine as long as snow is on the forecast.

Congrats, just love that white color...

Not sure if you are making fun of white nor not... But the story behind that is with the black wheels i felt like it sorta limited what colors i could go with. I narrowed it down to white and orange. I felt like after a while i may become sick of the orange, or find it too glaring. I just sold my torch red C5, so i wanted something a little more understated this time.

White looks great, especially with the PP wheels. IMO comp orange with the PP wheels looks the best, but back in the day I had a fire engine red fox body and it was impossible to get away with anything. In the flow of traffic on the highway at 70... pass a cop... who gets pulled? I wasn't gonna do that again... understated is the name of the game this time around.

Congrats brother.

Welcome to the family!

Thanks! I'm pretty pumped! I have had a ton of performance oriented cars, DSMs, Corvette, Camaro, Fox Body, Hondas in various configurations, T2 RX7 FC. But i haven't ever had a brand new car, so i'm pretty excited about that.

I didn't opt for the tech package, but will i still be able to get sirius XM through the cars stereo system?

It was the same thing for me, we got 2.99% for 72 months from our credit union, for every $1000 down it was like $17 a month. We put down $1000 for the deposit, and have $2000 sitting to give the bank tomorrow, but I may just use it for a cat back lol.

I do not know 100%, but from what I see in the packaging guide, the base doesn't appear to include satellite radio.
