Subject: EFC0200630DC 2009MY Shelby GT500 & GT500KR Dealer Certification Program
Summary:
We are excited to announce the return of the Shelby GT500 and GT500KR for the 2009 Model Year. Please review this communication for information regarding allocation and enrollment in the 2009MY program.
Allocation:
As a result of the abbreviated Model Year for 2009, production of the GT500 and GT500KR will be limited. Estimated US volumes for the 2009 Shelby GT500 are approximately 3000 units and are approximately 571 units for the 2009MY Shelby GT500KR. As a result, we will be unable to provide allocation to every dealership in the program.
Dealerships must be in compliance with all terms and conditions described in the Ford Sales & Service Agreement in order to be eligible for allocation.
Vehicle allocation plans are detailed below:
2009MY Shelby GT500
Dealerships will earn allocation based on a Share of Nation calculation utilizing 2007MY Mustang sales.
2009MY Shelby GT500KR
Dealerships that sold 2007MY retail Mustangs will be entered in to a random draw lottery, similar to the lottery held for 2008MY Mustang GT500KR allocation.
As a reminder, here are the details of the lottery process:
Each Region will earn allocation based on the Region's share of 2007MY retail Mustang sales. All 18 Regions (17 Contact and 1 Select) will earn allocation.
Dealerships will be provided "dealer chips" to be entered into a random draw lottery, with each dealer's chip amount representing the dealerships' share of their respective Region's retail Mustang sales (see example below).
Dealerships in the Select Dealer Region will be entered in to the Select Dealer Region drawing and not in to their facing Contact Region's drawing
Example:
Region A earns 10% of the Shelby GT500s based on their 2007MY retail sales.
Dealer ABC, who sold 5% of Region A's 2007MY retail Mustangs would then receive 5% of the total "dealer chips" allocated for Region A's Random draw lottery.
Additionally, a few lucky dealers were awarded allocation through the random draw lottery held in Las Vegas at the 2008 One Ford Dealer Show in April.
Dealership Enrollment
Currently enrolled Shelby dealerships will be automatically enrolled for the 2009MY program.
No action is necessary for these dealerships that wish to remain in the 2009MY Shelby GT500 program
An enrollment fee of $750 will be charged to the dealerships parts statement for all dealers who receive allocation. This enrollment fee will be charged after the final allocation for the 2009MY is determined.
For dealerships currently enrolled in the program that wish to cancel their enrollment, please fax in the attached cancellation form by 5/30/08
Training Requirements:
Sales certification will remain a requirement for this program. Both of the Ford Retailer Education & Training exam below must be completed by one or more of the dealer's sales staff.
Mustang (Exam Code – 3300) 30 question test
Shelby GT500 (Exam Code – 3368)* 23 question test
