I snapped that a while back, and last time I was at the dealership it was still there.

As far as pricing goes, what I've been given is an MSRP of $26,500, with taxes and everything it looks like $30,000 out the door. I'll see what I can do tonight because I've been told by other dealerships that they'll match and beat any price I give them. That's damn compelling so I'm going to try and get that price down a bit at one dealership (sales manager flat out admitted they're ready to negotiate) and then take the negotiated price to my other dealership to have it beaten

Nope, Bolton. The hood scoop on the one there is much bigger and I think closer to the front of the car. Its part of a GT accessory package, $800.

Price sounds good. good luck with the negotiations!

Thanks... Are you from around Bolton? I'm practically your neighbor if you are

Also, I didn't think Fines Ford had any Mustangs... They must've received some...

Do GTs come with no scoop at all?

What do you guys think of the glass roof? I love it, but I haven't driven one yet. I read the glass adds 25-27lbs to the roof. I imagine that has to hurt in the corners.

Yup, drive by Fines every day.

They have 2, parked right out front. A black GT coupe and a black GT conv.

I went to see the coupe awhile back, the conv just came in a couple of weeks ago. But that's all they have, no V6's, no Shelby's.

I think its great, just not sure about the ~2k. I'd have liked to see a regular sunroof, at least optional.

I can't remember seeing a mustang with a sunroof since the early 90's.

That glass roof is a hell of an option. Looks great, yes it adds some weight to the very top of the car, but the killer for me is the $2200 price tag.

Really? I figured the glass roof replaced the sunroof.

That pic looks great. I guess I'd have to sit in one before completely deciding against it.

$2k is a lot of money for a fancy roof. Looks cool and all but I'd have no problem leaving that box unchecked.

You sure you don't want to jump through the hoops for the V6 Performance Package though? That adds a lot of extra go-fast hardware.

The deal has been made

The car is on order, bill of sale has been signed and I can expect it anywhere from 6-12 weeks; I'm expecting closer to 12 weeks.

I took it for a good drive again, to make sure I'm 100% happy with it, and honestly, I can't wait to get in and drive my very own. I ordered it exactly how I wanted, 6-speed, HID's, leather, Sync, interior upgrade package, and got a price I was happy with.

Now the hard part...waiting...

I got the Sterling gray on charcoal (black) leather... They had a sterling gray V6 convertible and after seeing it in person, I knew it was the colour to go with.

Black looks good, but they had a black 5.0 that was all water spotted just from sitting there through one soft rain. Black is better suited for the garage queen IMO.

Unfortunately it's not an option on the V6 here. The way I negotiated, if it was an option, I probably would've gotten it.

Congratulations and good for you!! I love this car. I have seen quite a few V6 versions running around here, but only one V8 for sure and one V8 is a maybe. Something tells me the 2011 Mustang is going to be the best one Ford has ever produced.
