One of my customers just received a phone call from my dealership about his postion on the gt500 list. When he asked what the MSRP is, our rep told him $45K. Not bad in his opinion. But, there is also a markup of $40K, and we're the largest Ford dealership in the world. $85K apparently is a starting point. A little too expensive for me.
GT500 Price will be...
- Thread starter 04 Redline
- Start date
......price its not going to exceed 50k
That's a big steamy load if I ever heard one.
I can see 50,000 but 85k... they're (the dealers) ****ing crazy.
F that!
It wouldn't suprise me one bit. Some of the dealers around here add a 'surcharge' to the car because of the lack of availability. When the new 06 Mustangs came out, we went to go look at one on the way homefrom a road trip. I happen to notice the sticker said $29,000 or close to it. I commented to my wife that we could afford the payment because it was sticker at the same price I payed for the Lightning. The salesman then informed me that while it may sticker for that, the stealership hadn't took less than $7000 over sticker. I told him he was crazy to think I was going to pay more for it than I did my truck, plus my truck was faster and could pull a trailer.
85k is a bit steep to say the least, but there will be some dope that will pay that price. Most people will pay significantly less than that, 85k could get you a viper or a Z06 for even less.
A dealer near me said that they have already sold the one GT500 that they were alotted for 75k, not too far from 85k.

$85k for a GT500 :rollseyes.
See, this was the great thing about SVT driving the boat: no SVT dealer could sell cars over the SVT-established retail price. Dealers that charged premiums got their SVT status revoked.

Ditto. That is rediculous...they're building 10,000 of them a year last I heard...it's not like they are going to be rare. They are only "rare" because Ford is spreading them over their entire dealer network rather than their former SVT network of dealers. People who buy these cars new are going to take a massive hit in depreciation.
The people who responded above are 100% correct, you can get into a C6 ZO6 for that kind of money and let's face it, the new ZO6 is BY FAR a superior car.

Just another example of the personal overwhelming GREED of individual dealers causing folks to have a bad taste in their mouth about the manufacturer. Ford should limit this kind of crap - seems like price gouging to me.

was that 45k for a hardtop or conv ?
cmb570 said:
hopefully for the conv. so that means the hardtop will be like around 42K lol
if it's around 45K, I'll walk in there with the cash, test drive it, sign the paper work and begin the modding as soon as I can :read: :bowdown:

MOVED! :wf:
This thread is pure BS
Once the dealers become aware of the average mark up, it becomes monkey see...monkey do.

No they didn't. Several Terms sold over MSRP initially.
Screw that! $85k is just completely ridiculous. There's so many other better things out there for that kind of money. c6 z06 with full exhaust, cams, and tune here I come!!!
