I bought my 08 Black stripe delete in January from a ford dealer in Mich. MSRP was 47k. I paid 39,000.00 plus tax. That was before the 3k market allowance. If i would have waited, I may have gotten a few more bucks off the car. These cars have about 4k markup from invoice to msrp. So, if you're looking @ a 47k 09 Gt500, the dealers cost would be 41500.00 if you factor in the 1500 market allowance. depending how long the car has been sitting on his floorplan, some dealers will dip into the 3% holdback & take the loss rather than continue paying interest on the car. It is possible to get an 09 for 40k if you find the right dealer w/ an aged inventory. Good luck.
