The Mustang Chronicles - darkpuppet - 05-30-2006

So I'm now two weeks into my search for the perfect v6 mustang convertible, and things aren't looking up...

I wrote an e-mail to a friend of a friend's dealership to see if he could help me out, and they said they found my car (color, most options, except the alarm)...

and then sent an e-mail 10 minutes later saying it's not available....

And now, it looks like I may not have a car until the middle of August.

Is ford really selling that many stangs? or is it because they only make 5 a day? Or do they have a policy against non-pony-edition cars?

christ I hate car shopping...you'd think I was ordering a new skyscraper.

The waiting list for skyscrapers is way shorter. ;)

Steve was saying in the other thread that he was only buying a ford so they would take his car back after the lease.

there is a ford dealership across from my work. They have atleast 20 stangs there. Tell me what you want and I'll take a look with pictures. Or call them up, parkway ford in waterloo :)


The Mustang Chronicles - ANTHONYD - 05-30-2006

Call Discovery, they have a slew of them as well.

Not sure if they would take the Focus though.


I'll bet that;s the main reason you're sticking with this particular dealer right?


The Mustang Chronicles - darkpuppet - 05-30-2006

Yup, I've already checked their online inventories this weekend.

(I should have been working, but I spent an hour searching the online inventory of every ford dealership in ontario)... no dice.. they're all automatics or GTs.

I've given the go-ahead on the factory order.

the waiting game begins... and sure, I won't have my car in time for my road trip in July, and sure, I'll be driving a car OFF warranty..

I wonder just how painful this is going to get.

The Mustang Chronicles - habmann - 05-30-2006

you can have whatever you want so long as you provide the replacement stock parts... and I mean stock as in no drilled holes that I have to fill in after the fact...

you'll be replacing half my engine bay for the vortech, and you'd still have to supply your own tune unfortunately...


The Mustang Chronicles - schade - 05-30-2006

i've got stock replacements for what i'm after .. and i can do the swap if needed, should it work out

and its not the vortech i'm interested in


The Mustang Chronicles - darkpuppet - 07-27-2006

wow... the car is being built this week. I may have it as early as next week.

Now I gotta make sure they're getting the wheels I wanted...


The Mustang Chronicles - bluetoy - 07-27-2006

modding a v6 vert sounds like a great way to waste cash. i vote for leave it stock and drive it as usual

modding any car is a great way to waste cash...

it'll be just a fun car IMO.. and I don't need the GT to feel justified in buying a stang...
