Most dealers are only getting a couple, they will push to sell for as much as possible. I agree the prices seem steep, but it is the 1st Shelby Mustang since 1970 and probably the last. IMO there is no comparing that to a ZO6. I saw a 67 Shelby not running from a barn that is selling for 100k+ on ebay, with lots of bidders.

BTW this car is just mindblowing to drive and own. It is a great all around roadcar.

Here is the one I picked up.

Congrats man!

Hope to see you driving around the area and if you do, I'm one of 3 guys in this area(concord/ w.c.) who own black 2003 Cobras. Hope you enjoy!!

While there are limited numbers and most are spoken for we have some different views on pricing. Essentally prices are going for MSRP, plus delivery and dealer prep that adds another $1500.

A fellow club member just picked up his new GT500 'vert and I got to see it at a show last weekend. Now don't quote me, but I believe the MSRP was around $51,000 can. So with your savings on the Canuck buck, sure beats the 75K price tag some have posted.

I attemped to secure one of those Canadian GT500's and was informed that the governing body for Canadian motor vehicles (Transport Canada) prohibits sales of any motor vehicle for importing into the United States. If anyone has any factual info to contradict that, please let me know, but that's what I was informed of through e-mail inquiry.

This is nothing new but I thought I would let everybody know what the GT500 sold for here in Las Vegas.
I went to the Ford dealer today where I bought my Roush and ran into the salesman who sold me my car.I asked if he had any GT500's and he said no.They had three and everyone of them sold for $25,000 over sticker.
I'm glad I didnt take some bad advice when I bought the Roush and wait for the GT500 to hit the floor.
After my Kenne Bell install I will have 42,000 wrapped up in the fully loaded Stage 1 Roush and run high 11's.
Dont get me wrong the Shelby is bad as heck but just way out of my league as far as price.IMO the Roush looks just as good plus the wheels arent fugly.

SVT4ME · 09-10-2006, 05:09 PM

That's just crazy. Once again it boils down to money but man that still seems like a ripoff. But am not a hater, it is a nice car with some instant fans with the Shelby branding.

There is a guy here who has the rights to a 2007 white shelby cobra convertible ... he said 60K takes it ... deal or not? Car is in dealership.

WDW MKR · 09-12-2006, 01:51 PM

Depends on how bad you want it. As the saying goes, something is only worth what a person is willing to pay.

My personal opinion is hell no.

Tank5879 · 09-12-2006, 01:52 PM

IMHO anything over sticker is not a deal

TERMIN8TR · 09-12-2006, 01:53 PM

no deal, wait til mid next year and you'll find them on the lots with discounts........but it's your money

cobra04972tx1 · 09-12-2006, 03:06 PM

Here in Dallas, the coupes are going for $25K over sticker! I just sat there and laughed. I'll lease an 08 and pay alot less, just like the 04. Never pay more than 7-10% above sticker, it's just throwing money away.

chuckstang · 09-12-2006, 03:09 PM

It's a deal, long as he uses lube

RARE5.0 · 09-12-2006, 03:15 PM

ON D BIT · 09-12-2006, 04:47 PM

the only question you need to ask yourself is this.

do you want $60,000 in the bank, or do you want the shelby gt500 in your garage?

good luck

Not true on the warranty aspect - Roush warrants for 3/36.

Whitten · 09-14-2006, 09:26 AM

I heard a figure yesterday stating that so far 800 GT-500's have been sold and not many more than that have been produced yet....sounds like we still have 9,200 more to look for at the dealerships, and prices are already comming down.

03trubluGT · 09-16-2006, 12:18 AM

A friend of mine in Fort Worth bought a white with blue stripes GT500 two weeks ago for $12k over sticker. He owns a couple of shops (Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura) and some commercial buildings so it wasn't that big of a deal for him. He also has a 67 Camaro that he's building. He sold his 04 Vette with 5k miles on it for the Shelby.

Roush wont warranty it if its a Kenne Bell, only if he puts on the Roushcharger

That s197 red mustang in your sig...what year pony emblem is that from because it looks much better than stock. I like the corral around the pony

and the black term really makes it hard to justify the gt500 beause that thing looks friggin amazing!!

BLKGT03 · 09-20-2006, 02:15 PM

I did not know till it was too late, about the GT500 being opened up to all dealers, but my small home town dealer in OK was allocated 2 of them and sold both for 8K over sticker to a couple guy's in Tulsa. He said he wished he had know what the market was going to do, he felt he sold them way under market value. I said heck I sure wished I had known that he was allocated some, one of them would have been mine.

cobra-info · 09-20-2006, 08:02 PM

Am I just a 2003 cobra owner venting or what? So I stroll into Texan Ford in Arlington, TX. To my surprize OH SNAP a new GT500, Im on the side of the car thats not showing the dealer invoice thinking to myself hmm. Not too bad for 47k Right! UNTIL I make my way to the passenger side to see a MARKET ADJUSTMENT price of $75,000 (as one of the chump salesman hands the keys to the new owner) (the salesman hears me laughing aloud saying to myself) "you've got to be ****ing kidding me, price gouging bastards" he over hears me & says "yeah well it's sold" I say " I hope he didn't pay 70k for it cuz its not in a playing field with the new Z06'' he says "number was close to 70k though" I just laughed at him with lots of arrogance................. as im thinking let him pay 70 for it & watch me stomp a mudhole in this new cars ass!!!

Guess I was just Pissed off, does ford expect to get out of the economical slump they are in with the "market adjustment bullshit" on a car thats not anywhere near in a class of 70,000 dollars or more!

How about the market adjustment for the 12k in aftermarket I've got into my 03 Cobra & extended warranty so then when I go to trade it or sell it those things don't matter.

BUT WHEN A CAR DEALER PUTS A LIFT, TIRES, TINT, WHEELS, GRILLE, PINSTRIPE, they want thier FAWKING cake and eat it too!!!

those of you who know what im talking about it really gets me angry!!!

Wow, do I need professional help?

i dont understand. market adjustment was there for the 03 mustang svt as well(local dealer wanted 43k + ttl for a no option dsg coupe in dec of 02, 6 months after they were released). how is this any different?
what about the economical slump? the adm goes to the dealers not to ford. ford will only make around 36k for a no option 07 gt500 coupe. are you suggesting ford made a mistake by selling the car for so little?

you purchased an extended warranty and then added 12k in aftermarker products? now that was

. or did you really think that your car with a non exsistent extended warranty and 12k in addition improvements was going to keep its value? from a money standpoint you have chosen poorly! no wonder you dont have the 70k cash to purchase a new car with.
