How does "golden ticket" work on CF Track Pack orders?

ON D BIT said:

Can you name 10 in 3 years of GT production?

Some 70% went to prior GT owners, 90% went to prior Ford owners! DBK has all the numbers and they will surprise you.

My argument is simply that you made the sale happen multiple times and thus you were the one making the contribution to the national sales number. The customers that purchased them got them as a result of your sales efforts and no one elses. I don't see the program defined in further detail but the simple golden ticket crap we are now seeing. Is there fine print elsewhere regarding this very situation that further clarifies?

Furthermore, this...

"Ford's argument is, which I understand, that since I acquired all of these vehicles from other dealers that the first dealers would've sold them if I hadn't...so it's not like I created sales, I just moved them around."

Woulda, coulda, shoulda....bottom line, you made the sale. Who gets credited for the sale of a vehicle that was swapped from another dealer? Other than the one that sold that specific vehicle, the dealer that originally had the car?

In addition, the above in quotes shows how the discriminatory practice works. You paid to be part of the program. You met the sales numbers. But now you are penalized because Ford didn't want you to have those vehicles in the first place, thus ensuring that you never acquire a Wonka Ticket. That is pure rubbish, against the spirit of the program with respect to sales, and a selectively administered program designed to reward only those that Ford deems worthy, regardless if you made the same successful efforts to help Ford achieve their sales goals.

In essence, this is garbage. A slap in the face to loyal dealers and a situation that creates even more problems from an eager to buy public that is ultimately turned away.

My chances are dwindling by every message posted here lol. But totally agree with the way they handle this which I feel is not a fair way to distribute them. “Only the best most profitable” it seems.

It’s not fair because you don’t get one, or your dealer doesn’t get one, or that only the dealers that sell the most mustangs get one?
Wow theirs a lot of entitlement and egos here.

The problem with the carbon fiber is the wheels. They can’t produce mass market cf wheels. Too labor intensive, too much time involved. They simply can’t crank out 10k sets a year.

Everyone has the opportunity to purchase the CF package. It just may cost $50 over msrp. Ford is doing nothing to stop you from buying it.

If you can’t afford a $150k GT500 or $150k 991TS or $150k 991GT3 stop your bitching and get to work. Start a business or YouTube channel...

But to complain Ford is not fair because they go to the best mustang dealers is childish at best!

With that logic I'd just take my $135k and buy a '19 ZR1 with a manual transmission which I may do in addition to my 2020 GT500 - retired at 44 and don't need a Youtube channel thank god to support myself

So you proved my point!

You couldn’t name 10. You had to look up a source that pull in 100 hours of research!

In that research I counted 10 who did not own a 05/06 Ford GT prior! Damn 10 out of 750? Even with those hours of research going into that article you could only name 1.3% of the 750 from the original allocation. That’s terrible!

ON D BIT said:

With allocation or the ability to produce cf wheels?

Personally I feel president award dealers should get at least one every other year.


It’s your money you worked hard for it, do with it as you want. It’s hard complain that someone else chose to buy the the cf with adm while you chose not to.

Don’t say say you did not get the same opportunity.

Excuse me? My post was by no means I feel entitled or about my ego lol...Everyone is posting on how it is distributed across the 3k dealers, not complaining about price or that it is limited. You my friend need to stop touching yourself, and acting like your a bad ass behind a keyboard. You attack me it will be hell so I suggest stopping while your ahead.

Have a great day!

Even President award winners that sell only F-150s and Super Duties?

The famous people got the new Ford GT's because they were famous and not because they happened to own another Ford ! Ford does not tell you how many prior Ford GT owners they rejected because they were just everyday people that had no real social media influence - It's all very obvious - the actual applications for the car were tilted heavily to those with real influence - go read the application

You said it was not fair. What’s not fair? If I misunderstood, my fault.

The bottom line is only so many wheels can be produced. IMO the normal tp 2020 GT500 will be a beast that many have the opportunity to purchase. Feel fortunate for this not pissed at Ford.

Correct, misunderstood because “not fair” should of not been used as it would come across like I am whining biotch, but disagree with the way they handle the allocations for those Cf cars is what I mean. Not at the limited # of them. I am fortunate as I always loved mustangs, since the age 16 have had almost every performance model they have produced since 03 and the latest was a GT350.

Because you buy ford performance you think you should have preferential or first choice?

How many others feel the same? If it was 10k others and only 2k cf wheel sets how would you do allocation?

Serious question. No, give one to my dealer is not a good answer.

To my knowledge Presidents Award is for customer satisfaction. I know there are sales requirements as well. Those that go above and beyond, even in small locals should get benefits that most dealers don’t.

But then again I have no say. Haha

A more important question is are you actually buying this car? And if not why the f*ck you even commenting? Enough said.
