[QUOTE="xbolt68stang, post: 2490903, member: 26180"] I just posted this on another thread before reading the above. 7000? Are you out of your minds? Your marketing research folks already screwed up big time on the Mustang GT numbers. Now your going to screw up again with the GT500. Don't the clowns at Ford realize they could easily sell 12,000 of these vehicles. The stock is down to what? And now your going to limit another vehicle. From a previous post: My feeling is that if Ford is cutting back on certain items to keep the cost down, they also need to produce more than the rumored 7000. With the anticipated dealer gouging, you'll likely pay $10,000 over MSRP which would bring the cost up to the $50,000 range anyway. It seems as though it's a difficult balancing act for Ford. I would be happy to pay $40K for the current vehicle. If I were to pay $50k, I would like more goodies. I don't want to pay $50k for a $40K car with the dealer pocketing an extra $10k. Ford needs to raise production to keep prices reasonable. I also feel the decision to spread the proposed production level to all dealers will only fuel the gouging. Look at what happened with the GT(40). My uncle is a Ford salesman at a NY dealership. My immediate family has purchased five Ford vehicles in the past two years from this dealer. I asked my uncle about the GT500. He stated they already have a list of 20 with no gaurenteed price. The SVT rep stated they'll likely go for $20k over MSRP. They plan to go down the list until someone bites. That's exactly the kind of BS that pisses me off. I've never owned a vette, but before I would ever pay $20k over MSRP an lose $25k as soon as I drive it off the lot, I'll purchase a Z06. So Ford, stop the BS about keeping costs down and make the vehicle in numbers that won't result in gouging. OK, so I might be willing to pay $5K over for a second year GT500. But my feeling is that If I can't find a dealer willing to reward brand loyalty, I'll never purchase another New Ford. [/QUOTE]
