Ok....sounds bad i know. I want to buy a 2015 GT premium and cannot believe the runaround i am getting from the dealers. I have a specific car in mind...and they all tell me they have it and to come on in...and of course they don't have it, and can't get it. then they try and sell me what they do have. I have never met so many dishonest people at dealerships.. Can someone recommend a dealer where i might find someone with integrity? I am open to all of Southern Ca. thanks.

Try going through TrueCar or maybe another buying service like Costco, AutoClub or your local credit union. Seems to by-pass a lot of the BS. I bought my 2013 GT through TrueCar from Sunrise Ford in North Hollywood and it was a fairly clean deal. They tried some minor stuff like to charging me $300 to bring the car from another dealer, then $100 for window etching, (which the car didn't have and I wouldn't have paid for even if it did). Finally navigation through their financing person always involves saying no to the extended warranty - but I only had to say no to everything just once.

Advice? Don't bring a trade in, have your own financing already in place, etc. Keep the deal simple.
Now is not really the time to buy a 2015. Demand is high and dealers don't even know what will arrive on the truck. If you can travel search the web, you will have a better chance of finding what you want. I just bought a 2015 Anniversary gt and I had to go round and round with the dealer, even walking out but they came around. Here's a good youtube video to watch on the 2015 mustang. Good luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Fuv5fMlElZY
thanks for your help guys....
I bought mine via TrueCar at Ford of Orange. They were pretty good, not a lot of BS.
Galpin Ford took my order with no problems working with a great guy Michael Moses tell him Robin sent you . Order 12/29 should have it by the end of Feb.mexican.gif

I have purchased 3 vehicles from Cerritos Ford Ca and there was no typical Salesman tricks or old school way of selling. Call and ask for George Velasquez and tell them Chris Jordison recommended him.
Not only did George give me a fair deal he has kept in touch with me Via phone several times since late 2012. George is very honest and sells a LOT of cars for good reason. I tried Galpin first and did not get a good feeling about them..
The two dealers I have visited, Raceway and Citrus Ford have refused to allow me a test drive of a 5.0 without some type of "commitment" to buy. I have a very clean 2012 GT premium brembo yet they act as if I am looking at a $400,000 Ferrari and not a $40,000 Ford. Never going back.
