I think actually last year for the 2018 Mustangs pricing wasn't released until a week or so after orders opened, so some were ordering blindly in the beginning. Other car companies often announce pricing before ordering opens, but some also wait until the same day ordering is opened.
It depends how many that dealer gets allocated. I don't think they're limiting production, but they could also only build them to order, meaning they might not just churn out random Bullitts for lots like they do with regular Mustangs. Still too early to say though. Regardless, I don't think you'll see discounts as much as you do on regular Mustangs since it's still a limited-edition car. I'm fully prepared and willing to pay MSRP on it if I have to. Hoping some Ford incentives or X-plan are eligible when mine arrives this summer but that's really the only hope I have for a discount at this point.
Interesting, thanks for the insight! Any other options shown that we don't already know about? Do you think pricing will be visible today? With the press release on the California Special it said pricing still isn't available for 2019s so I'm thinking anyone ordering early like myself will have to order blindly and hopefully get pricing info in a few weeks.
California Special was released today. Discussion here: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99743
Update: I've asked around many dealers in Alberta and was advised that most dealers are getting two Bullitts each year, at the very least.
