[QUOTE="SVTKen, post: 12458429, member: 142552"] I'm not very surprised by what I see regarding pricing on these cars. I spent months researching and finally decided I wanted one of my own, but I didn't anticipate it being so difficult to find what I wanted. I figured I would wait until the weather got cold and try to find a good deal on one after all the "gotta have it now" guys already had theirs. The problem is that the only Shelby within a 100 mile radius of my home was used and they were asking a $3000 over the original MSRP of the car, and it wasn't the color I wanted. And then there were the greedy large stealerships in my area that wanted a minumum of 5-10K ADM (in October) and for cars that didn't have the options I wanted. If you wanted a black car and didn't care about the stripe color, there are lots to choose from, but with the dizzying number of possible option and color combinations, including stripes, it's very hard to get exactly what you want, and this is quite strange for a car search at this time of year. I expanded my search radius to the entire country and obsessively scanned cars.com and autotrader on a regular basis, and still could not find a single Shelby optioned the way I wanted it in the color/stripe combo I was looking for. What a lot of casual observers don't realize is that even though autotrader may show about 200 cars, half of them are already sold or spoken for and finding what you are looking for from the remaining inventory is difficult, especially when so many ass clowns are asking rediculous ADMs. Finally, I got lucky after sending a follow-up e-mail to the same dealer I saw early this summer that wanted a $10K ADM for one of their allocations. I explained I was still interested if there was no markup. Low and behold one week later (on halloween) I got a call saying they had an allocation, but I had to let them know how I wanted it optioned by 5 PM. Even though I couldn't reply by 5PM, the sales guy was good and took good notes from my meeting with him early this summer and the car was ordered EXACTLY the way I wanted it! They said if I didn't want it, they would sell it to someone else. Needless to say, I made a deposit the next morning. I consider myself lucky, especially because when I met with him this summer I didn't mention that I wanted the matte black stripes, which it was ordered with. When I was searching, the DIB with matte black stripes, SVTPP, and navigation was hard to find. Every single one that I had previously located already had a buyer (special order) or was already sold.
