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.

No, and no.

The waiting list for skyscrapers is way shorter. ;)

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?

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.

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...

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...
