I have a question for those of you that are a bit more mechanically savvy than myself. I bought a new ’03 that had clutch problems. After they tore into it, they told me that they were ordering an entire clutch assembly to replace the old one. Later, I was told that all the parts had...

Well, after many trials and tribulations, it looks I’m going to FINALLY take delivery on my new DSG Cobra tomorrow. I plan on putting her through all he obvious tests (the 80 MPH vibration, the pull to the right) but is there anything else I should be on the lookout for during the test drive...

A sad story. So I got the call today to go pick up my DSG ’03. The guy above me dropped off the list, so I got the call a month before I expected it. I go down to the dealer and all the paperwork goes like clockwork. I’m waiting on the car to be prepped so we can take it for a shakedown...

I stopped by Covert Ford in Austin, TX and they had a Dark Shadow Gray '03 sitting on the back lot. It sure looked nice. I didn't have a digital camera with me, and I was wondering if anybody has seen posted pics anywhere? I did a search on the forum and didn't come up with anything. I was...

Well here’s a long shot for ya… If anyone knows of an '03 selling in central Texas or the surrounding area for something close to MSRP let me know. I'm tired of waiting. I don't have much hope of seeing one soon, since most people have been on the list for the first run since February and...

I’m not sure that this is the correct forum for this, but I have a couple questions about financing a Cobra through Ford Credit. Pardon my naiveté in the area of auto financing. These may be some pretty dumb questions. First, does the percentage rate that Ford Credit charges vary from state...

I just got a call from James, the sales associate that I ordered my Mineral Gray coupe from, at Covert Ford in Austin, Tx. I was told that Mineral Gray has been dropped as a color option, and it was replaced with Dark Shadow Gray. I went down to the dealership and took a look at Dark Shadow...

I ordered my ’03 a few weeks ago, and am now playing the waiting game. I asked the sales associate I bought the car from to let me know when my build date was, but he hasn't been very helpful. When are ordered cars given a build date? More importantly, when do they know the VIN number for...

I have seen a few posts about people buying their '03s with 'x-plan' and/or 'a-plan' pricing. What exactly is x-plan and a-plan pricing? I’m guessing it’s something for Ford employees? Can anybody clue me in or point me in the direction of some info? Thanks! YenSid <cpl>
