Word to the wise.....

Guys-

If you are interested in buying a new ride(Ford or any other), it may be in your best interests to take a look at doing business before the end of the month. Not a sales ploy or tactic, but we have already received ALOT of commodity holds from Ford and their suppliers due to the situation in Japan. No Tuxedo Black, Royal Red, Red Fire, or Red Candy Paints....no 20 inch wheels....with more holds to come. I have also heard that industry wide we will actually see a reduction in incentives (rebates and rates) from the manufacturers in April. Take it for what you will, just food for thought.

Very cool of you Skip. Thanks for the heads up.

they make 20" wheels in Japan? Never knew that, I thought they were made in Africa.

Has something to do with the coating on them. And for the paints...it's the pigments in those particular colors. I would imagine we will have holds on electronic components very soon.....from what I hear the import stores(honda, nissan, and toyota) are already at MSRP or above due to their supply constraints.

I was looking for a torch red v6 mustang 6MT (base) (black interior), I owe 15k on an '08 torch red v6 mustang (67k miles) (base). Do you think they wont be any rebates after summer?

If you want an 11....the rebates are 1500 right now...and almost eveybody is sold out.....as far as a 12 goes....the rebate is currently 500. So they are not "great" to begin with.....how negative do you think you are?

No problems in Germany that I'm aware of, I'll be fine.

This could be a pretty solid falcon punch to the auto industry.
