Re-ordering my car

[notacarguy]

As the name suggests, I'm not a car guy. I've loved mustangs since I was a kid, but I'm still fairly young and inexperienced when it comes to the real world, so... what better time to buy a car? Anyway, being not a car guy, I kinda just rushed into ordering one when I finally made the decision I was going to do so. I ordered essentially a base GT w/ NPP, however, I figured if I'm spending this much already, I might as well go all in. If I were to call my dealership, would I need to cancel my order and re-order? Or could my salesman edit my order? I should note that my car is scheduled to be built the week of 9/18, and doesn't have a window sticker yet. Just looking for someone smarter than me to fill me in on the details of how this all works. Thanks.

If your car has a VIN, you are too late. If it does not, then get on the horn with your dealer and build your dream car!

You can edit if it has a VIN but cannot edit if you have a window sticker.

Not true.

You can make changes up until the time it goes into production.

Source: I was able to make a change after receiving my VIN.

You should be able to edit. May push your schedule but who knows anymore? Just make sure to double check your new order sheet

Appreciate the feedback y'all! Just emailed my dealer. We'll see!

After you a VIN you cannot change anything that impacts the VIN (e.g. engine).

Once it goes into production, you can‘t change anything.

Between those you can try. Color is easy. Options are doable, but could impact the schedule date (i.e. could put it on hold until a slot with the options opens up). So depending on the option it might push out your production date.

I had to reorder due to an error made by my dealer. I was told then that once the Window Sticker generates, you are unable to modify (once it goes into "production" status). Either way, I strongly suggest exercising patience and ordering the final version that you truly want. If not, you will be constantly obsessing about the items you don't have, instead of enjoying the customized car you truly want. That's why I decided to start over, give up 90-120 days, and reorder. Hope that helps your cause.

If you ordered a GT Fastback and now want a GT Premium Fastback, I think you will have to re-order as they are different models.

I wish I ordered a base GT w/ NP package. We should just trade @notacarguy

My order just shipped sometime this week and I really enjoy working on my own mods/upgrades

Certain changes. You can’t change major things like convertible vs coupe. And you might not be able to add the performance package or go from 300a to 400/401A

I wanted to add the performance package and active valve performance exhaust. My dealer has yet to get back to me but from what y'all have said, I'm hoping it won't be too much of a problem. I'd be okay with pushing the production date back or even having to cancel and reorder, as @JohnP said, I'd rather wait to get the car I want than get the car I don't.

Please keep us posted on the outcome.

Either way, it will be another good data point for future reference.

What day did you order yours? My build date is the week of September 18 too. I ordered mine on June 24. I don't have the window sticker yet either.
