Plus Ford f... up the allocations and has made it impossible to get one unless you know some one or are willing to pay the insane dealer mark ups. :cuss: I thought in the beginning that HT said they would make as many as there were people to buy them??!! What BS!!! What makes it worse is Ford is allowing the dealers to get away with screwing their customers!!! :bash:
My dealer had the nerve to call me a few weeks ago and tell me that they now want a $5000 deposit and that the car will have a $5000 mark up. They went on to say that with the projected allocations that they will most likely only get 3 cars. Well I'm supposedly number 5 on their list which means they wanted me to pay a deposit on a car I had no friggen chance of getting!!! :cuss: :bash: :mj: Personally I'm sick and tired of the dealers playing games and raping us customers. So at this point because I refuse to pay any mark up it looks like I won't be getting a Shelby. Thanks Ford!!!!
Terminator..
HEH you and I are in the same boat..
My dealer called to tell me last week that they would have 5,000 markup as well.. And this was after I had been told that I would be able to get one of the first ones at retail and that I was #1 in line.. Now the salesman (who I have known for 20 years) calls me back to tell me the OWNER thinks its insulting that the #1 spot was "only" offering retail, and that the cars would have a minimum 5,000 Markup.. :kaboom: Wow, that hurt. :shrug:
I told them that this only ends up hurting Ford in the end, since they will ultimately lose my business if they try to pull that crap with me..
So I lost my spot... :dw:
No fear though..
Ford will build these for a few years.. After the first year, These things will be had for close to invoice. (Just like the previous Mach1's and Cobra's.
