Did you pay over or under? If so how much?

Makes me feel better about the 5k adm I paid lol. I guess it's all relative to perspective and opinion.
In the end if you have it you enjoy the hell out of the car!
Purchased in Southern California December 30th 2015 after a week of hunting. No complaints or regrets whatsoever. I give props to all you who scored one at msrp.
5k over...hated it sooo much but my patience is thin, looked for 3 weeks and just kept running into at least 10K over
Both dealers closest to me in NC that have gotten a GT350 have marked them up considerably. One for 10K and another for 15K above MSRP.
$1 UNDER msrp.
5 or 10k to many people is nothing.
If im buying a car for a family member and they said these are the 3 cars I'd like, BMW M4 a GT350 or a Cadillac Escalade paying 20k over sticker for the GT350 is a bargain still.
Never understood why anyone cares what others pay.

I would guess that this is a bit more of a specialty vehicle. That's one really good reason to gather data on sales prices. Information is good. Good information is better!
Why is it some people think because an inquiry is made that someone cares or is worried about what people are doing with their money. How about maybe someone is in the market and just wants to know what they should be paying realistically. No matter what anyone says, this car is definitely not worth anything over the sticker price on paper. Many of you claim it gives a euphoric and thrilling driving experience and Yada Yada yada, but this is already a $60k Mustang.
I think common sense says if you pay msrp for a car that is selling above sticker you are doing ok. If I made 40k a year I would never buy a 60k car, mustang or not. If I made 250k a year I'd probably be ok paying a 20k adm to get the car now and for summer. All relative.
we care cuz this car at msrp is on the edge of some people's budgets. so all these loaded dudes paying 75k for this car ruins it for its intended market.
MSRP is just a suggestion. The real price is whatever sellers and buyers agree to mutually. Many cars go for less than MSRP, some go for more. Ford has built one of the few that are more than the sum of their parts and demand is very high driving average selling price above MSRP.
If you are not able to buy the things you want, this is America, change how you're spending the money you have or go make more money. Don't whine about those that have prioritzed getting the money to buy the car.

Were you part of the research group to determine its intended market?
The intended market is the rich dudes. People forget companies are in business to make money. If Ford has successful dealers they succeed.
Is demand really that high though? I see many of these cars sitting and sitting for months with adm. I've been buying sports cars for a while, and Ford dealers seem to be overly ridiculous with their markups. Not so much what they charge but their unwillingness to deal even when they see the car isn't bringing what they ask. For instance, remember all the dealers sitting on 2013 GT500's for months or even years after 14's hit. Having the money isn't the problem all the time. I was in the market for a 350 but couldn't find any dealers that had more sense than a door knob. Therefore I purchased a Hellcat, which stickers for more, but I got at a fair price. It wasn't about the money. I just can't see paying over msrp for anything. It's a principle thing to me. More exclusive cars, I can see, but you guys are jizzing yourself for a Mustang that just so happens to rev over 8k and has to borrow its handling foundation from General Motors. Oh yeah, it has a flat plane crank. I guess that's worth it for some of you to lose your ass?
What would you say the point of you posting in the GT350 section is?
Good ole car guy conversation.
To each his own, Ford did a hell of a job on these new gt350s to warrant all the hype...Is it worth 20k over? no not really..is it worth 5k over? Currently i would say so..personally this cars fun factors and styling is way better than a hell kitty will ever be...I would rather have a "mustang" and pay whatever they are asking over a fat cat..And I own a 700+hp gt500 and this gt350 has got it imo overall...yea may not have the big power but not what it was designed for...GT350 is a big win all around and many will agree..
