unfortunately I think Ford had a lot to do with this being that they set the price for these at astronomical levels.
the average person with a brain who isn't going to spend more money on a car payment then their mortgage (or rent) probably wont own one for a while.
and that's all before the markups that undoubtedly will prevail at most dealerships. That bullshit is finally going away on most 350s, but it has taken years.
