You are in the Ford Mustang Forum. Your Host is claires
WOW! my gt shelby 500 was built today! this forum i thought was about those cars. i paid list price for my car. i do NOT have a contract, but ihave the word of a dealer that i have dealt with since he bought a small local business. i'm more excited than you can ever imagine! im neither an engineer or race car driver, but this car (convertible) is HOT and fast. i've bugged the heck out of shelby's people and they have been nothing but super nice and helpful. OH YES! i walked away from a LARGE dealer because of 32000 reasons over invoice.

Replying to: fastforagirl (Feb 20, 2007 2:31 pm) The build date was 2/9/2007. It still doesn't show up in the dealer's inventory, but based on the build date of 2/9/2007 I would estimate the car should be there sometime in March. Possibly by the end of Feb., but typically it takes about a month to get after the build date. Mine was built on the 11th of the month and came in on the 31st, so you might just see it by the end of Feb. Our second GT500 is a Convertible and it was built on the 18th of Jan. It still has not arrived yet, but it is due any day now. Was suppose to be here already. But don't worry, it IS coming!

Replying to: rheller (Feb 19, 2007 6:19 am) As far as affecting HP or anything by having the emissions I don't know. Emission States are California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont. Cross-Border States are Arizona, Connecticut, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Rode Island. If you live in a State other than one of the Emission States where you are buying from a dealer located within an emissions State that dealer can order the car and delete the emission system. NOTE: In Maine and Vermont dealers can NOT order vehicles for customers in non-California emiison State locations (except Public Service/Emergency Vehicles).

Thank you very much for the info, shelbydude. My hunt continues. I expect to make a commitment sometime within the next two weeks. It all depends on the DM. I'm not sure what to make of dealers who charge a DM based on what the market will bear vs those that do not. Supply and demand, I suppose. |

Replying to: moronix (Feb 20, 2007 3:53 pm) Why is it the dealer that ripped off the customer??? I have yet to see any dealer hold a gun to someones head forcing them to over pay for something! If a customer knows what they are paying and knows they are paying a premium and they are happy and willing to pay it, then how in the world is the dealer ripping them off???? That is just pure nonsense! Just because you can't get your way does not make the dealer a rip off. The dealer would have to FORCE, and orLIE and/or totally MISREPRESENT everything to you in order to rip you off! Without any of those factors involved there is no way a dealer can rip you off! Also, it is NOT the dealers that set the market value. It is 100% the CONSUMERS that set the market value. Without CONSUMERS willing to pay a premium then there would be no premium! Dealers would be forced to drop prices just the same as they are forced to do that now on most vehicles they sell. Consumers shop for the best deal and it forces dealers to compete by dropping prices to invoice and below just to get a sale! I guess you could say CONSUMERS are ripping off the dealers based on your analogy!

Replying to: fastforagirl (Feb 20, 2007 3:49 pm) I had the same problem deciding. I ended up going with the coupe because at the time I wanted the over-the-top racing stripes which are not available on the convertible. I didn't think of adding them afterwards. Also, with the seasons here there is only a few months out of the year to enjoy a convertible. So I went with the coupe. I have seen some pictures of the convertibles that dealers did add the stripes afterwards. I think it really makes the car, personally! If you do decide to add the stripes to dress it up, you can either order the stripes from any Ford dealer parts department OR you can have them painted on by a good body shop. If you decide to have stripes painted let me know. They appear to be the same width across the car but they are not. They are different widths that give an illusion that they are the same. So if you want it done right, let me know and I'll get the the measurements of the widths. |
