Replying to: fastforagirl (Jan 25, 2007 7:04 am) ........I also feel "lucky" the dealership is only gouging me $20K over MSRP...   Wow you don't see too many people admit to that. Everyone that you speak to claims they got theirs either at or below invoice. My Shelby was purchased by my wife as a gift to me and she too paid an extremely high premium. You know I don't feel too bad though because Kelly Blue Book has the 2007 GT 500 true value at just under what my wife paid $63K. I look at it as an investment for my kids future benefit, and why shouldn't I enjoy my kids inheritance. HA! HA! My Shelby was born on August 30th and I took delivery on Sep 29th. If yours is scheduled to be built Jan 11th then you should see it by mid to the very latest end of February. You will be more than satisfied once you get the first glimpse of her. You will forget all about the waiting and fall in love the second you see her. Although I didn't want to pay the premium either after having her now since September I can easily say I would pay double what my wife paid to buy her today. What's really cool too is now I have Mr. Shelby's autograph on the air filter cover, making it all that much more special to me.

Replying to: bri66 (Jan 25, 2007 9:50 pm) There is no way dealers are selling those at or below invoice. MSRP - maybe, but probably not. Dealers aren't stupid.

Replying to: bri66 (Jan 25, 2007 9:50 pm) My brother in law works at a Ford dealership up in Dallas and he tells me $25K over is "routine" if you go through dealer. There are a couple on E-Bay for less, but I didn't want someone else's 'hand-me-down'. Got the options I wanted- albeit few to choose from- so I'm living with overall purchase price of $65K. First time I've ever overpaid for anything in my life. Forget future kid's benefit (of course my kid is named "Shelby"), this car is all for ME. I'm gonna burn the tires off that pony in the first month and if my husband is lucky, may let him drive it, too! Have a Valentine One to sniff out the jellys, just hope it can keep up with me. Thanks for info, hopefully wait is almost over. P.S. You'd better hang on to that wife of yours, most women don't even know what a Shelby is. Any other wife would have bought you a minivan! LOL

That's the date they were to start production on it. Dealer is to check next week to make sure they did, in fact, start on it. I sure hope so, spring is coming and I feel a roadtrip coming on...

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 25, 2007 3:30 pm) Anyone else out there have an INTELLIGENT response to my question? I don't live in a forty-mile town, there are actually intersections where I live.

Replying to: fastforagirl (Jan 26, 2007 6:47 am) Every car has blind spots. It shouldn't be any worse than a regular mustang, so go sit in one and check it out yourself. I can't imagine it being a big problem. Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Jan 26, 2007 8:04 am) fastforagirl (Jan 26, 2007 10:19 am)

Replying to: akirby (Jan 26, 2007 7:00 am) I have an '05 GT Premium. Yes, the blindspot is bad if you're at one of those odd-angle intersections. Otherwise, it's not that big of a deal. Proper mirror adjustment and knowing where/how to look over your shoulder will cover the rest. Replies to this message: fastforagirl (Jan 26, 2007 10:19 am)

Replying to: tayl0rd (Jan 26, 2007 8:04 am) Thanks, you responders. I feel better. I rely heavily on my mirrors when I'm opened up, typically going too fast to take chance on looking over my shoulder. But intersections, I'll be slow enough to do a quick check.

Seriously, I find my mustang to have less of a blind spot because there is no B pillar.   Mark.
