Wanted! Tungsten Gray w/stripes GT500 @ MSRP

[bubbrubb]

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

I remember reading that somewhere as well, I don't think its on the list of colors for 2008 model year by Ford, correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure about Tungsten, but I know they added a new color called "Vapor Silver"

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!

:shrug: Don't take this the wrong way but...........you posted about a week ago of knowing many cars avail at msrp, yet when someone here asked you to post, don't believe you did. So where are these msrp deals to help some of the folks here??

Try Bloomfield Ford in Bloomfield Iowa. I released my slot when I bought my Roush. I know that my slot is now gone. They are going to get another car, I do not know if that slot is spoken for yet. Ask for John, the owner. Great guy! Good luck!!:beer:

specifically drew ford in la mesa. and i just heard sanderson ford in phoenix sell all there cars for msrp or lower. there is also a dealer in pennselvania that sells everything at msrp as well. i have heard about 5 others saying there dealer will sell nothing above msrp as well though i do not have the actuall dealer names.

also lr 01 cobra is working with 2 dealers that have sold gt500's at msrp.

oh yea how bout this dealer made famous in another thread?!?!?

Wendle Ford is one of the only Dealers in the Northwest that chose not to add additional mark-up to these vehicles. All four Shelby GT 500s that were allocated to us were sold for MSRP.

Confirming what you said. Although those prices are listed on the invoice, the GT500 is NOT eligible for A/Z/X/ or D plan pricing.

That's not what I'm hearing, they can, They just don't want to sell them on one of the Ford plans because right now, they don't have too! The car is selling.
The Ford GT is the only car I know of that they won't do A/X/Z or D plan on.

I'm thinking that I'm getting X plan, maybe I'm just getting X plan price. To me it makes no differance, the price is the same!

Although I rather not go through the trouble of scanning and posting information off of the FMC dealer website, I will if you really need me to. Im reading it right now and it says specifically, NO A/Z/X/D Plans on Shelby GT500, Shelby GT, or Ford GT.

[JETSOLVER]

You forgot the most interesting part. Cars go one to each initial order, and second cars are limited by the manual to auto mix. Any allocation of a second car must be an auto. 50/50 mix. Ain't that gonna make the adm story interesting when only half of the cars are for drivers/collectors/gearheads and the other half are the poor cousins....

"One (1) unit allocated per interested Ford Division Car Dealership
Remainder of production to be allocated based on Share of Nation – 2005/06 Mustang retail sales
Please note - individual dealer order questions should be directed to your Ford Division zone mgr
Question: Are there any commodity constraints?
Answer – Manual and Automatic Transmissions

Due to commodity constraint on manual transmissions, dealers that earn more than one allocated unit will be required to build the second of every two units as an automatic.
Manual- 50% (1st unit manual, 2nd auto, 3rd manual, 4th auto, etc)
Automatic- Free Demand "

You know, Jet, I really don't get that. I mean, this car starts out as a California Special, right? There is no constraint on ordering those. I know, I know-- these are only Black or White-- but the bottom line is that these are 5 speed cars, not 6 speed. I would think that Ford could provide the right mix. Then again, these are probably already set aside for Shelby with a 50/50 mix. I guess that makes managing this project alot easier for all involved. Okay, I get it! :lol:
