My advice would be.....wait. Things are going to get really REALY REALLY bad. Why do you think manufacturers are offering increasing incentives every day?

A nation can't layoff 33M people for months and not see drastic economic impacts. There are some businesses that literally won't ever come back. They're estimating North of 50% of restaurants are gone for good. New restaurants may take their place eventually, but it's going to be YEARS. They're already discussing 25% occupancy, then 50% occupancy, then 75% for an extended time. Anyone who knows anything about business knows most restaurants like every other business, operate on very lean margins and cash flows, 75% might break even, but it's the last 25% that means profit and capital to whether swings in cash flow.

The sports and entertainment industry, secondary education is now facing widespread class action suits for not returning prepaid tuition rebates and their enrollment for the upcoming year is in the gutter, hotels have all been flat stopped for 3 months, this is going to get really really bad people. just wait, they'll be giving cars away, they'll literally be offering incentives to pay you cash to take a vehicle at less than what they paid for it eventually.

If you think the deals are great now, just wait.

I hope your right about the cars, I'm interested in a new gt500 but dealers are still acting like $10k over sticker is some kind of deal. Ive even had a few dealers that said they wouldn't take anything under $15k over sticker, they wouldn't negotiate and didn't even take my contact info.

If your is interested in a GT350 R, Black in color with lots of goodies, I have a dealer in Vermont who wants to get rid of one. I work directly with over 80 Ford dealers in New England over the last 25 years and have some pretty good insight as to who has what and where.

19 or 20? There is a $5K list price between the two Model years....

after selling my 2000 R id like to get back into a mustang and would like something modern.

i found a 2019 350R im interested in but its far away and i need to do my research before i even think of going to see it. i have a few questions for current owners.

1 is there any difference at all between 2019 and 2020 350R?

2 what should the car come with as far a items not installed/paperwork
- the front splitter is not installed, i expected that
- should it have the Adjustable strut top mounts in a box from the factory that come with the standard handling package?
- does the owners supplement package come from ford directly after you buy the car you do you have to get it through the dealer?

3 has anyone bought a new car from a dealer and had it shipped to them sight unseen? experience?

thanks for the help.

When did you sell your 00R? Not sure if anyone told you, but once you own a 00R, it’s mandatory that you keep it forever.

I live in northern nj and I brought a used 2017 gt350 from a dealer in Oklahoma. I actually had the dealer send videos of the car all around the car inside. Turn it on. I didnt go out. I almost did. I actually trade my gt and they pretty much asked for the same thing with my car. I got the car shipped. Make sure you get everything in writing and numbers are fina . My shipping company conned me for an extra 200 bucks. They told me that the drivers came out more expensive the the original quote. Come to find out the company changed their name like 20 times because of the poor service and changing prices.

You have to be careful with waiting because if there is a car you want, its a very good chance it wont be there. People are getting deals everyday right now. Those that have the money or the credit will have no problem getting the best deals out there. Lower than advertised.

You also forgot production stopped for a few months. All that comes into play.

Once again those that have the means right now will still get the best deals from right now and on. You have to understand supply and demand. If all you want is an f150 xlt then sure wait. If you want a loaded king Ranch. Make your deal on the vehicle you see because it will be bought.
