Wanted! Tungsten Gray w/stripes GT500 @ MSRP

[Fiveoh93Snake]

I've been looking for a Tungsten Gray GT500 for a bit now and have yet to find one even remotely close to MSRP. :cuss: I thought I was going to pull off the unthinkable and be able to purchase one at MSRP or even less due to having a relative that works for Ford. He was told that the GT500 does not qualify for any employee discounts (i.e A and/or X plan or even at MSRP). Anyone else have any luck with having a relative working for Ford? Bottom line I am in the hunt for a Tungsten Gray/ Silver lemans striped COUPE with the solid dark charcoal interior. Shaker 1000 would be fine if its on the car if not thats fine as well. I am a VERY serious buyer with CASH for the full purchase @ MSRP.

At this point I am highly frustrated with the insane "adjusted market value" markups on what should have been an attainable car for the average Joe that can't afford a Z06. Some of the prices I have seen are flat out appauling:nonono: and quite discouraging to say the least. I had hopes of adding a GT500 to my 93 SVT Cobra so that I would end up with the first production year of the SVT Cobra and the first production year return of Carroll Shelby to the mustang nameplate. I would like to think of myself as a true mustang enthusiast and am definately NOT seeking out one of these cars to purchase at MSRP and then turn over for a profit. Thanks in advance for any help and/or insight to this dilemna.

Although I had my '93 Teal w/Black cloth interior on ebay last week, it didnt sell and Im kind of glad it didnt because Im thinking the same as you. My GT500 shows up next week at our dealership and then Ill be posting pics of the two together! Not sure how Grabber Orange and Teal are going to look together though!!

I have one best color combo. It might be hard to find in 6 months it will be a low number and only in 07 color .

Take a number... sorry, thats just the reality right now. I'm in a very similar boat to you at this point

the deals are out there. msrp is not that hard to find. msrp on a delivery this week is hard to find. how hard are you looking? calling 10-50 dealerships a day? searching the entire nation? put in the effort you will be rewarded.

i know a guy who was looking for msrp on the new 997 turbo 2 months ago from nor cal. they were selling for 10-20k over at this time. he found one in boston at the end of the month offered msrp and faxed the paperwork in and had the car shipped out.
another guy wanted the same car 997 turbo from socal, and he found his car in georgia for msrp(30k less than socal prices) and had it shipped out.


keep looking, the more you search the sooner you will have your prize!

i dont believe you will ever find one for sticker... if you go to kelly blue book the car books for 62k to 65k... they will not sell the car below that.... i also heard that this might be a 1 year run or at least thats what i heard today from my cousin who happen's to be a manager at a ford dealer... to my understanding the 08 model will be a svt cobra... same car just no shelby name... THIS IS JUST WHAT I HEARD... NOT SAYING ITS TRUE... i also heard this a few weeks ago at an svtoa event at buttonwillow...

Is tungsten only an 07 color? No 08's.
