Still would do it if at MSRP. Unfortunately thanks to idiots with more money than brains, most dealers will charge way over and a deposit with terms would be nice to have.
So does he get to pick out options/colors, or does he have to take what the dealership will order?1 of my local dealers always sell at msrp...I wish they could have got a shot at an 350R..But my friend has is name down first for the possible new gt500 or whatever it is!
When he bought his '14 GT500 and '17 GT350 from them, both msrp yes he got to choose anything he wanted. Now regards to this potential new car that I am not sure, but I do not see why not.So does he get to pick out options/colors, or does he have to take what the dealership will order?
This seems like a sound risk to me. 500 today to avoid potentially paying 40k over msrp tomorrow. He can then turn around and sell it to one of the early adapters that dont value 40k. Even if it was non refundable, I thought that was contingent on actually getting the product. If he backs out they keep the 500. If it never comes arent they obligated to return his money?
I'm definitely in for whatever this car is gonna be. When you find out your allocations, what would I need to do to obtain one of them? Like to be ahead of the game on this car. Prefer the R/KR or whatever but I understand you will get limited allocations.As long as there is a time assigned to how long the agreement is good for.
But also, adding a little fuel to the fire, I've heard some things through the grapevine...I'd do it if you could.
Disclaimer: I'm not selling any of my allocations until I see how the allocation process will work out; i.e. how many I will end up with.

What do you need as far as deposit? I'll take it if/when you get the 4th one. If that would be ok. You can pm me if you'd like. Thank you.At this point, I don't even know what to tell you.
I've heard they will be very limited.
#1 will go to my dad, as a retirement gift
#2 will go to @Tob , if he does not secure another allocation.
#3 will go to a previous customer
#4 is open...but who knows if I will even get that many.
I won't take anyone's deposit I can guarantee an allocation.
So the story is that ford makes everyone wait 5 years before this gen of GT500 hits the lots. On an aging platform. Then they build so few that no one can get their hands on one? And dealers can tack on ridiculous ADMs.
I believe I've never heard a better argument to buy something else!
If Ford cannot equal or best the ZL1 at the same price point (appx $65K fully loaded), it is time to throw in the towel. Besting the ZL1 for $20K more won't cut the mustard. I do not like GM, but if this is the case, the ZL1 will go down in history as the best bang for the buck ever!
I totally agree with you, the price point should be in line with other pony cars. (ZL1, Challenger). To price it at Z07 money, I will take my ball and play else where. I waited to buy my 350 at 55k for that very reason. But enough is enough. Some brands try to stop the ADM's but Ford seems to encourage it.
You do realize that dealers started selling them as used with a markup to get around this.MSRP is a number set by the manufacturer which provides a reasonable profit for the dealer; anything more is pure greed. When a manufacturer produces a vehicle for the masses (these aren't numbered and therefore are not limited production...they don't set a production limit on these), a consumer should be able to walk into ANY FORD DEALER and purchase a Ford product at the MSRP. Dodge advised their dealers that Demon orders at or below MSRP would be fulfilled first in order to combat these ridiculous mark ups by the dealers and Ford would be wise to do the same if they want to keep brand loyal customers.
