I bought a commuter car, BMW 330 convertible from a local Ford dealership used lot, Koons. I went back to my hard tags, while the guy's installing my tags, I over hear...
Obviously the owner and a sales guy at the counter with me, the sales guy gives him a sheet & says "it's $46K", "it'll be here on 3/19".
I then hear the word Shelby (as some of you know I'm also a big stang banger, 2 vipers, but 5 stangs), and the owner dude says, call when it comes before you put it on the floor so I can take it out for a while. So when they pause I say, you got something special coming in?
Yep, it's the Shelby GT500, it's got the most hp of any car made, 500.
Really, I say, doesn't the Z06 and SRT Viper have that? No, they're like 460hp or something, plus the GT500 is much lighter than the Viper & the Vette so it's no comparison.
Really, I say, so how much is the mustang? $60K.
Really, I say, sounds high for a mustang? Yea, well it lists for $46, but we can sell in one day for $60K.
Really ... oh, tags are on, gotta go.
For a spit second, at the start, I thought God was going to set me up for a blessing, stumble into a great deal on a GT500, I was ready to say, "yank those new tags off the BMW, let's talk", but then the guy opened his mouth & stupid fell out of it.
I've heard sales guys that are oblivious, but this guy & owner/manager were definitely hitting the crack pipe pretty hard.
There really should be some kind of test you need to pass before being allowed to talk about any of these great cars while posing as someone who's supposed to know something about cars.
I'll probably go back to check that beauty out, I didn't catch what color, but I've yet to see a production one in person, so at least that'll be cool.
