The colonoscopies continue.
It makes no sense what they are doing here. The GT is getting a special lottery and the first people to get a shot are the ones that bought the last gen. Well, let's think here. These Rs are about as rare as the GT will be, right ...500 more of the R. Of course they don't have a 20,000 unit run that is the 350, but you get the idea. Why in the hell didn't ford lottery off these 2500 units Rs With stipulations that they must be sold at msrp! I'm fine with people make a few backs but 15 to 20%. For doing what?? Market value? Come on.... whatever!

No...no... dont say that... its "market value". Right! If it was market value it would be sold by now. Lol.
Insead its decomposing in the "market". What happens in a Market when something sets more than a couple days? Prices lower ... and again...and again until finally they throw the damn thing out cause it's useless!
Really though, I can understand maybe 250 to 500 going to the salesman as a "tip" but 15k+ is reduclous. I'd never get it. In fact, if this R doesn't come thru for me I'll just forget about the 350 all together unless that lightning blue is awesome. This adm shit is bothersome. Wonder what the dealers will try to rake us for on the next GT500?!!
I am sure some of these dealers are regretting what they paid. I spoke to Autonation (without knowing the information you provided) and told me xx,xxx which is the best they can do since that is what they are paid which is in the ballpark of what you listed you sold them for.
Tears will be shed if they lose money.
Just not by any of us...
Ford can't tell dealers what they can sell them for, it's against the franchise agreement.
"Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price"
MSRP swings both ways, how would everyone feel if all cars were sold at fixed price that could not be negotiated? It happens in other industries.

That would be downright un-american.

I go both ways on it.
It would make my job a lot easier. LOL
On a sidenote. I'm about 20 minutes from the Ford F-150 plant in KC, so majority of my new car business is A-Plan (meaning a fixed price).
