I test drove one yesterday, and liked it. I left to eat lunch with the wife and decide on whether I was going to purchase it or not. Truth be known, I was leaning towards not getting it because they would not budge off of the sticker price. Anyhow, after a 2 hour lunch/discussion with the Mrs. we decided to go and get it. I arrive only to find that the dealer had already sold the car to someone who paid OVER sticker for it. Sure, I could have left him a deposit to hold the car, but I wanted to make sure everything was okay with the Mrs.
What gives? I know these cars are hot, but I was having a hard time coming to terms with paying sticker, only to be beat out by someone else who paid OVER sticker. I really don't want a Mustang GT that bad. Maybe I am wrong, but I am thinking when those 2006 models start to show up, the 2005 price may come down a "little" off of that dang sticker.
OTOH, I really liked the ride of the 2005 GT. I wanted to get a Mustang GT every since I was 15 years old, then when I started making good money in the 90s, I decided against one due to the harsh ride. Boy, does that new
2005 GT ever ride so much better than any of the 90s models I have test driven. The only other stang that I would have considered was the 2003 - 2004 Mach 1, but again, the ride kept me away.Now the question is, should I wait for the 2006 models if I want to get one of the 2005 Mustang GTs, or should I just have the dealer order me a 2006 to ensure I get what I want in the car? What would you in the group do?
Thanks,
