i did a custom order via fleet sales at planet ford (spring, tx). i placed the order through david lang, who fell and broke his arm the following week

maybe i'm bad luck(?) his supervisor, john hasenkampf, took over the deal and it was the best new purchase experience i've ever had. john kept me informed of the manufacturing & delivery process. a couple of days before the car arrived, i asked jay williams (preinventory) to
not put on a front license plate or dealer sticker on the trunk, and he made sure it didn't happen. spring is a bit of a drive for me, but the customer service was well worth it
i also talked to a.c. collins ford (SE beltway in pasadena), champion ford (gulf fwy), adams ford (hwy 146 in la porte), baytown ford and mcree ford (dickinson). i went with planet ford because they gave me the best bottom line. if i was to do it all over, i'd shop all of those dealers again except for mcree ford...their fleet salesman was an a$$
pm me if you want contact names/phone #s. enjoy your new 'stang! :shigrin
