    Dealer markups against the law

    Dealers in NJ charging $20K over as well Got a call last night from my dealer in northern NJ. I've been #1 on the list since April 2005 with $5K down. $20K over MSRP for each of the 2 Shelbys they'll be getting. :-( A little too much for me. Oh well.

    Priced too high

    Supply and Demand Yes, we all agree with the law of supply and demand. But then the Ford reps shouldn't say "It'll be a $40K car." Its not. Just be truthful. Don't position it as a "working man's" alternative to the Corvette. It isn't. $65K is $65K. Just be honest about it.

    Ford Corporate Response to Price Gouging by Dealers

    "Everyone should realize that they are not going to be able to get the first GT500. Just wait and Ford will build enough for all who wants one." I agree with you 07ShelbyCobra. Still, sometimes the squeaky wheel thing works, plus, I like to ask pointed questions to see what kind of a...

    Ford Corporate Response to Price Gouging by Dealers

    Well, I sent an email to Ford, which they responded to with some canned "we appreciate our customer feedback" type response. So, I responded to that with a "No canned responses, please" inquiry, as to whether or not they condone the price gouging by their dealers at a time of slumping sales...

    GT500 on Sopranos

    Anyone catch the reference to the GT500 on the Sopranos episode last night? The reference was a bit dated. AJ was in his dad's hospital room, talking to his father (who was in a medically induced coma). AJ said something like "one of my friends at school has the GT500. It has 450...

    Article on SVT being disbanded

    I was reading the article about SVT being disbanded/shut down effective April 1, 2006. If this is the case, does that mean 2007 will be the only year for the GT500? Will there be a 2008 as well? What about after that?

    Dealer Auctions on EBAY

    eBay Auctions I was just checking out the auctions people mentioned on eBay. I could be wrong, but it appears that all the auctions are by non SVT dealers that are getting whatever they can for their allocation of 1. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe it would have been better if these cars...

    $600,000 2007 Shelby GT 500

    $600K for Shelby GT500 #1 Does anyone know who the winning bidder was? I had heard some rumors that Jay Leno was going to buy the car, but, I don't remember seeing him when they televised the auction on Speed Channel. In fact, I don't remember them showing any one person who actually won the...

    GT500 Colors, Stripes and such

    Well, as if the GT500 wasn't unattainable for me to begin with, I see the results of that auction - $600K. Oh well, guess I'll just keep on dreaming. The article on this site was pretty interesting though. I found it interesting that the LeMans stripes and the side stripes will be a delete...
