Not really "stupid", some people actually have enough money that it just doesn't matter to them. It is harder for those of us who don't have that kind of cash to fathom. :)

4 - 2007 GT500s on ebay. Some of these people are going to as much as 25K over MSRP! This is going to have a huge inpact on what price my dealership gives to me. I'd be pissed if one of these dealerships was one where I was on a list. This really sucks for any average Joe.

hmmmm...

That one has a stripe kit ordered on a convertible. I thought they didn't offer stripes on the 'vert???

Also, that's the first I've seen of a red interior... did I miss that somewhere? I thought the interior was either black or black with red inserts. ???

Well, they say they have ordered it already, my dealer says there is no way they ordered it because Ford isn't taking orders yet. It is possible the "red seats" they describe are the red inserted seats. I also read the stripe kit was not an option on the verts.... So who knows. I guess calling them and asking them how they were able to order it when no one else can would be the easiest way to figure it out.

All I know is it is very depressing to see all these big numbers for amount over MSRP, looks like I will remain Shelbyless. :mad:

Price On 3-30-05. Now They Say "market Value" They Can't Be Trusted.:mad: No
Dealers Have Ordered Yet. Stripes Aren't An Option On Verts. Red Inserts
Are The Only Option To My Knowledge( Which Is Usually Better Than What The Salesman Knows).:confused: I Would Be Very Leery Of These People. I Am Currently Working With Another Dealer Who Still Has Not Committed Their Allotment. Also, This Dealer Thay Says They Have Already Ordered Has Taken 31 Deposits From Customers So Far I Doubt That They Can Fill Them. If I Sound Bitter It Is Because I Am.:mad: I Will Advise Ford After This Car, I Will Buy Chevys, Toyotas, Nissans, Bmws, Etc. But No Fords After This One Thanks To The Dishonest Dealer Network.

I sent an email to Ford about the price issue this is what they wrote back....
"Dear Tony;
Thank you for contacting the Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center
regarding the price of the GT500.

The Sales Department of your local dealership is in the best position to advise
you of vehicle pricing or availability. Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealerships
are independently owned and operated and as such, set their own prices for
vehicle sales. (what crock)
However, Ford Motor Company appreciates hearing from our customers, especially
when customers provide us with valuable ideas and insight. Information of this
nature is collected and used in the decision making process by all departments
of Ford. We sincerely thank you for taking the time to write to us with your
suggestion.

We consider the satisfaction of our customers one of our most important
objectives. If you have any other inquiries or concerns, please feel free to
contact us and we will be happy to address them for you.

Sincerely,
Anitha

Unfortunately folks, Ford cannot do anything about dealers and their markups (price gouging). That would be price fixing, which is illegal. If Ford actually owned the dealerships, they would have a say in how prices are set, but dealerships are independently owned. Any compaints to Ford are going to get lip-service replies just like the one posted above.

Below is a Qand A from a dealer selling on e-bay





Question & Answer Answered On

Q: They're just selling a product. How does the fact that tons of people want to be the first to own a piece of history that will more than likely maintain, and eventually exceed it's current value make the dealer sick??? Sales are always customer driven, and everyone would love to have one of these cars. The dealer sounds like a Mustang lover himself. If I had the money I'd be bidding as well. Are you really upset about the dealer, or just the fact that you can't get your hands on one of these cars?
Mar-09-06

A: Yes, I love mustangs too! I own 14 special ones and paid top dollar for everyone that I had to have, to guarantee it went home with me.


Q: There is no official MSRP? The available colors and paint schemes are still TBD? None of the dealers know how many units they are to receive. And yet people are willing to pay 10-20K over list for these vehicles? This isn't about supply and demand... This is about the dealers finally smelling a winner (which no dealer actually knows about). Just put the sticker at 65K and call it a day.
Mar-08-06

A: Paint and colors have been announced but not MSRP yet. As with MOST vehicles, we aren't usually told how many we are going to get FOR THE ENTIRE MODEL YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Again, this is nothing NEW! True muscle cars brought a premium back in the 60's and 70's. Other cars have commanded a premium in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Again, this is nothing new.


Q: Supply and demand. Does asking over msrp have anything to do with the current state of the American auto industry.
Mar-08-06

A: Other manufacturers have had HOT cars from time to time that command over MSRP. This is nothing new. The Ebay auction will determine that value.


Q: Do you have any 0-60 times or any performance numbers. I used to own a 2003 cobra (phenomenal performance) and am thinking about owning the newer cobra d/t interior dimensions (2 kids). Thanks and good luck...remember that the people leaving negative feedback are probably the same people that want to feed foreign countrys with the tax money received from the sale of this car but don't want to pay taxes to defend our own country...again good luck.
Mar-08-06

A: Sorry, no official performance numbers as of yet. Based on the magazine articles though, I believe that it will be on hell of a performer.


Q: I'm going to wait a year and buy one for MSRP. Have fun screwing Joe public,just so u know what your doing is negative, not the last persons comments. Have a nice day!
Mar-07-06

A: Next years market value may very well be different (apples and oranges comparison). The price of plasma TV's will likely continue to come down also. Some people consider that and dismiss it in favor of some other priority. This weeks issue of Automotive News, dated 3/6/06, page 36, bottom left, a Ford dealer is advertising that they will pay OVER MSRP for new GT500's. Maybe you should call them at 1 800 705 0259 and verify the CURRENT market value!


Q: what about a convertible?how many do you expect to get?
Mar-06-06

A: We will definitely have convertibles too! We are historically a very large mustang dealer. We have 50 in stock right now and it is still winter in Michigan. We hope to get a total of about 7 to 10 GT500's. Again, with only 9,900 being built and 3,800 Ford dealers, most will only get their 1. We are trying to accurately define the market value, outside of the Barrett-Jackson phenomenon. I see other dealers have one on Ebay currently that are already at $24,000 over MSRP and the auction is not done yet. If I had to guess, I would estimate that we would commit to an order-it-your-way CONVERTIBLE for $25,000 over MSRP. Thank You. Sincerely, Keith


Q: I WAS WOUNDERING WHAT THE PRODUCTION NUMBER ARE GOING TO BE?
Mar-06-06

A: I think that I already answered that question in the ones posted at the bottom of the auction listing. 9,900 are planned. The exact # assigned to this car won't be known until after the auction ends, it is ordered and scheduled for production. Sincerely, Keith.


Q: What is msrp going to be? I have a signed order form with money down already but to have one of the first ones would be great. I am 20 on the list in my state. Thanks
Mar-05-06

A: MSRP for a coupe is supposed to be approx $40,000. Official prices have not yet been announced by Ford. The allocation of cars is done by Ford, individually for each dealer, not by state. Every dealer is supposed to get 1, prior SVT dealers will get 2 more and big dealers like us who specifically sell alot of Mustangs, will be awarded additional cars based on our sales history in the U.S. A total build of 9,900 GT500's for the 2007 model year is planned, divided by 3,800 dealers. I hope this info helps you to be better able to decide if you will really be able to actually ever get the one you already think you have reserved. Sincerely, Keith


Q: In your estimation, when will orders be accepted? What warranty will the GT500 come with? Tell me about your service record.
Mar-05-06

A: Production is scheduled to begin 6/4/06, so the computerie order system should begin accepting orders for these new GT500's about 6 to 8 weeks before that. The warranty is supposed to be like the other Ford production cars, 3yrs/36,000 miles. Our service record? Well, we are the only Ford dealer that I kmow of that is open 24 hours for parts and service, Monday thru Friday. We also specialize in performance vehicles. We are enthusiasts.


Q: Dealers like you make me sick....
Mar-04-06

A: How much profit do you think there was in that Saleen you own? What about how much ALL the cars cost at Barrett-Jackson? Oh, I almost forgot...Do you work for free? If you bought one of these new GT500's, you would probably be one of those people who would brag about how much the car is worth and what a great investment it was for YOU. We are just selling the car on the open market like everybody else is on Ebay. Keep you negative comments to yourself

Ask seller a question

I sent the a e-mail tony0811 in short form saying that it is insane for dealers making over$30,000 profit for just parking them in their lots?and that FORD makes the car for $40,000 including material,labor,marketing,etc...Is maybe the reason why FORD is lossing money also told them if the dealer wants $70,000 i will buy z06 for $65,000 and to try and do somthing about this for not only me but many FORD suporters!! let you know when they get back to me also EVERYONE SHOULD DO THE SAME!!

I posted the second most recent message on Ebay suggesting that the list price be increased to $65K. I put down $2.5K at a dealership in New England a couple of months ago under the same "Fair Market Price" arrangement that it appears that some of you have also engaged in. The whole situation is a complete joke.

Somethings fishy ... I've been keeping track of the ebay presales and I think it is all a fraud. I think dealers are listing these things and getting people to jack up the prices for their auctions. I talked with my dealer today and he asked me if I'd seen the auctions. I told him I had and that I was glad I got my deposit in a year ago so I didn't have to be in their desperate shoes. Dealers are using these as gauges for what they think they should be charging over MSRP. I've gotta go, I'm getting sick to my stomach...

I hate to say it....and Im a die hard Ford man. But if your willing to pay over MSRP then so be it!!! This isnt a Focus we're talking about. Its a supercharged factory Shelby, with HIS name on it. You cant go to a Chevy dealer and pay sticker for a ZO6 either. If I had the money, I would buy it too.

I am a sales manager at a small Ford dealership. I hate this "OVER MSRP" bs. I live in a small town (pop 8000) and I have 3 serious buyers. The trouble is that I won't get any to sell at any price. I just wish that Ford would build enough to fill the demand. That would probably stop greedy dealers from over charging, but on the other hand if everyone has one, then there is nothing special about it. We all want one because they are rare, unique, and not everyone can have one.

I would way sooner sell 3 cars at MSRP and have 3 happy customers, than sell 1 car at $10,000 over MSRP and have one guy with a car PO'd because he got gouged, and 2 guys PO'd because they never even got the chance to be gouged.

I rely on repeat customers, and one thing I have found in 30 years in this business is that PO'd customers don't come back.

Well I know it stinks that the prices are so high on these because I would love to own one too but that's the market. I also work for a Ford dealer and have for several years.

We've got a new truck sitting out front right now marked down almost $10,000 and I haven't received any calls from irate customers demanding that we return it to MSRP. The reason that you can buy any other Ford product with a huge discount is the same reason that these cars are going for over MSRP.

Do you really expect dealers to turn away offers from people who are more then willing to pay over MSRP? This same thing happend with the Thunderbirds and again with the Mach 1s. In a little while the market will come back to reality on these cars but the facts are if you want to be one of the first to own a new 2007 then it's probably going to cost you. If you don't want to pay over then simply wait for the market to come down.

I don't think emailing people and insulting them is the right way to handle it. These cars are being put on ebay and people are bidding them up. The dealers are just getting what people are willing to pay. Well anyway I hope this doesn't come off as an attack to anyone just trying to show the other side.

I have no problem with dealers trying to make a little extra profit when they can. I have a problem with my salesman that took my money March 30, 2005 and told me on the phone that I would get the car at MSRP, then in February this year I was informed that the price would be "market value". I now know to get it in writing next time, but by the same token, if they want market value, that should also have been put in writing which it wasn't. My receipt for the deposit simply states 2007 Shelby GT500, #3, $1,000.00 down

Red 5.0 is exactly right. People just want to complain about anything over MSRP as though dealers are greedy, and yet they don't feel at all sorry for dealers who have to mark other cars way down. If you don't want one, don't buy one, but please stop all the negativity and complaining.

I'm not saying what happened to you is right. Lying is wrong anyway you slice it. If you tell someone you're going to do something you should do it, although with the kind of money that we're talking about a signed write up with the details on it would have been wise.

I think that the dealer that did that to you was 100% wrong. I would be very upset as well. I was addressing the people who were emailing and harrassing dealers for trying to sell these cars to people who want them. Why would you waste someone's time calling them names and insulting them for trying to make a living? Do any of the name callers hear know what it takes for the dealer to get just one GT 500?

First you have to pay a $1,500 fee to Ford just to be able to get one. Then you have to buy all of the special service tools Ford says that you need (no price given by Ford on this). Then you have to certify your sales people and mechanics. These are not options. If you don't jump through all of the hoops you don't get a GT 500.

Now start adding all of these things up and see what you come up with, lost working time for salespeople and techs included. If you're only going to get one of these and you sell it for MSRP you're going to loose money. How is that fair to the dealer. Think about the big picture before you start calling someone names.

You can blame the mfgs for bad business models, crummy contracts, union healthcare problems, etc... But there are shiny new dealerships popping up like weeds all over the country. Automiles, Car Superstores... Those high traffic businesses cost big dough. Where does that come from? The one or two GT500's they are going to mark up?

My dealer told me that Ford accepted my order that they submitted on Tuesday. My dealer doesn't know how many cars they will be allocated but, they have now successfully ordered 2. Is there a communication breakdown happining between dealers and Ford? Can an order be accepted for cars, and then cancelled? Can someone shed some light on this process. I'd love to know if I need to educate my dealer on the subject.

What I stated was the cost that it's going to take to be able to sell one of these cars. If a dealer only gets one or even two they are not going to make anything if they sell them at MSRP like you are demanding they should. Why would they want to go through the hassle for nothing?

Also for every Taurus and Crown Vic that you have to lose money on just to get rid of you have to make it back somewhere. This is a business after all and if you're not making money what's the point?

And just to clarify things dealers are not setting the prices on these. As with any limited production car the market is setting the value. I really don't understand why people are getting so mad. If you don't want to pay that much don't buy the car. It's that simple. No one is being forced to buy any of these cars that I am aware of. If you simply have to have one of the first ones then you're probably going to have to pay plenty because there are tons of people out there that want them.

Ford takes orders through a computer system. The system is accepting orders now but none are being scheduled as far as I know of. You can put as many orders in as you want but they are only going to build what you have allocated. For instance we put an order in for a GT last year when we had no allocation. The computer takes the order and it shows up on your print out but they never built it because we had no allocation. I hope that helps.

They should have a pretty good idea of how many they are getting. I would hope they are only taking orders for as many as they are expecting to get but unfortunatly we've been down this road before and some dealers are going to get as many deposits as they can. Then they will wait for their 2 or 3 cars to show up before they inform their customers at which time most other GT500s will be spoken for. Then comes the bidding war between people who thought they already had a car and now are left with little choice but to try to outspend everyone else.

If this dealer has been honest and upfront with you I wouldn't worry though. If they're telling you you're number one in line you should be in good shape. I feel bad for people when I hear them saying that they're number 25 in line and they think they are getting one. I actually had a women tell me last week that she was number 33 on the list at a dealer. I couldn't convince her that she was not going to get a car but I guess she'll find out the hard way.

Hang in there. It will be a tough wait but it will all be worth it when you're one of the few to own one of these awesome cars. I wish I was getting one too.:)

I would call Woodhouse if I was you. I have already seen TWO of their GT 500s on Ebay and I haven't even been watching that closely. The last one went for $27,000 over MSRP. Not to spam the board or anything but if you have a problem with them we are getting two that are not spoken for yet. You can PM me if you like. We're in Northwest Iowa. I don't want to get into trying to sell them on here because that's not what this board is for. You can also email me if you like. Good luck though I hope everything works out ok. Woodhouse is a very large dealer so they should be getting several.

Red Five O is totally correct msvade, I too work for Ford and these dealers know how many Shelbys they are getting. For a dealer to accept, or take 33 deposits........ pardon my French, but thats "fu**ing crazy"!!!! Shame, shame, shame. All they are doing is creating a list of people they will have to give their money back too. I would love to have one. But for the money, I would rather just pick up a GT, paint stripes, and a supercharger on it. They will all just be collecting dust in peoples garages anyway. No one will retire on this purchase. Worst thing you can do with a 500 HP Mustang??? Drive it 500 miles a year!!! Come on people.......... Haahaaa.

For a dealer to accept, or take 33 deposits........ pardon my French, but thats "fu**ing crazy"!!!! Shame, shame, shame. All they are doing is creating a list of people they will have to give their money back too. I would love to have one. But for the money, I would rather just pick up a GT, paint stripes, and a supercharger on it. They will all just be collecting dust in peoples garages anyway. No one will retire on this purchase. Worst thing you can do with a 500 HP Mustang??? Drive it 500 miles a year!!! Come on people.......... Haahaaa.

10-4 on that... I'd drive this monster the same as my current 06 GT... after work and weekends... just that I'd be able to drive faster!

My dealer, buddy, has told me that he knows how many he is getting. He said the only reason I have a good chance of getting mine this year is because the majority of the allocations are for the coupe. I ordered a convertible so it will be thrown in the line and will be received prior to the last coupe he ordered before mine. I only ordered mine a week ago. I can only hope he is correct and that it doesn't arrive in December or January when we have five feet of snow on the ground which will really suck!!! He told me that the next orders will be '08 cars arriving sometime next year. They are not taking deposits and are not leading people on, telling the 22'nd person they may have a chance to get a car, aint happening, plain and simple. He did say he is getting phone calls from all over the country but they have given priority to their good customers first, not out of town, or state which I thought was good business. Good luck to everyone very far down on a "list"

If anyone is interested and willing to part with 15K or so over the base, friend who runs local dealership got a "bonus" allotment of 1 additional Shelby. You get to order car as you see fit. Not sure of when the build date would be but good guy to work with. If you are interested, Dealership is Henry Day Ford in Utah and Contact is Jared Hamilton. 801-973-7030 He was going to put it on E-bay and I asked if I could post it for him where people who love the car may want a crack at it and not just to flip it.

ALSO, he has a new Ford GT available that he will sell at MSRP, so if you have an extra 167K laying around, you can probably pick up both for a deal. Hope this helps someone.

Good luck

Wish Prices were more in-line with my msrp budget, would love to have taken advantage of the car. Maybe they will come down in the future........
