Hey, Bob--Mine is a "done deal!"
I could have driven the new car home for Labor Day but left it at the dealership until they install the accessories, etc. They will be removing the rear stabilizer bar, high-note horn, rear-molded splash guards from the 2003 GT and installing them (at no charge) on the new replacement car along with paint-sealant and undercoating. I stopped by the dealership over the weekend and removed "all the mods" except for the performance exhaust system and pin-striping. Of course
[

Since the 2003 GT had 6400 miles on it the General Sales Manager used "lemon law calculations" which resulted in some depreciation for the mileage. Since it was a "MSRP to MSRP exchange"--I did not pay MSRP but only dealer invoice--I received full credit for all the rebates that were available at the time I purchased the 2003 GT. But, the best part is, the GSM will deal directly with
DC in completing all the paperwork, etc., so I don't have to do anything and there is absolutely no hassle for me.
