I just wanted to share with everyone an experience I had yesterday when my local ford sales rep called and told me he had a black 05 GT in stock that a customer had ordered. The customer had to back out on the deal so I got a call to take a look at the car. It was a beautiful car with all the options including the upgraded stereo and wheels and interior package. List price including the options was around 29k. I went to work on the number with the sales guy and then he comes back to tell me that they now have a $3500 premium in addition to the 29k. I told him that the dealership was smoking crack and that I paid about that amount for my new 2004 Cobra. I also told him in 6 months he would be calling me and begging me to take one of the new GTs along with a rebate......
Needless to say I left the dealership and on my way out gave the 2 other guys checking out the car a heads up on the premium...needless to say I think their sales guy lost out on that sale as well....
I don't know what the dealers are thinking but they definitely are crazy thinking everyone is going to pay any kind of a premium on car that in 6 months will have dealer lots swamped.........Don't plan on coming to the Mike Davidson ford in Jax since they are smoking crack.....
