Default FORD dealership without any Mustangs

I went to my local FORD dealership to test drive the new 09 GT350. I walked around the lot a couple of times thinking that I was just over looking them. Finally a sales rep asked me if Iwas interested in buy a new or used truck or SUV. I told him know, that I was looking for a Mustang. He said that there location did carry them. I would have to drive 45 minutes to another county. I said you are joking right. He said no, we only stock trucks and SUV's. But if you do buy a Mustang we can service it for you. I just turned around and left. No wonder FORD is in the black. Has anyone else ran into something like this.

Every Ford dealership around me has tons of Mustangs. Wickstrom in town has a few GT500s and Shelby GTs, Victor has a Rousch, Saleen, and Foose Mustang, and Woodfield Ford is practically all Mustangs and a used Bullitt.

I noticed our local dealership doesn't have any either. Admittedly, it's a small dealership - but not even one Mustang.

There are two ford dealers about 10 miles from my house and each one has about 25 stangs each. Granted it is a military town. One of em, Lafayette Ford, even has their KR on display along with two other GT500's, a few bullits, and a roush.

Yup, we have a local dealership that sells and services trucks and suvs only! I had to take my Bronco there for some work.

But we have several other dealerships that have stangs around... I just saw a nice GO on their lot yesterday!

That a new one on me. I know there are some special dealers for Large Ford trucks, but not just pickups and suv's. They won't be in business long

It's an allocation thing. I really don't want to open up that wound again.

I am glad that I am not alone on this. I just moved up from Texas and they are everywhere. But not a single one here.

Gator Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury in the Tampa area.

They sell all the Lincolns and Mercury's, but only Ford trucks to be found with the Ford nameplate.

The thing about it is that they don't even sell
F-150's. Their trucks start at the F-250 series.

That dealer must have been hurting when gas was over four dollars.

Sounds like my kind of dealership!
No wimpy 150's or Rangers!

I bet if you wanted a Mustang from them all you do is specify which one you want and it will be there the next day if not that evening. All Ford dealers move inventory around.
