Potential lead on new Shelby's (including a Superman model)

[Chris!]

Have you noticed that the majority of the cars for sale by dealers are heavily optioned and many are black? In my case I want a white / stripe delete GT500 with the SVTPP option and nothing more. I may not have to pay more that MSRP for one of the available cars, but I will have to pay $5000 - $7000 more for unwanted and very expensive options plus my chances of getting the color combination I want is very slim.

So I am left with a car that is the wrong color, and has more that one option I don't want and still have to pay more. If these cars were not limited production, I would not have to consider this option and I would be able to go to any Ford dealer and either buy it off the lot or order it and be assured that my order would be built. That is not the case.

If I am going to spend $60,000 plus tax and license for a Mustang, I will get exactly what I want or walk.

The profit is higher on a fully loaded car- that's why they order them that way.

Is what it is- ill take my two option car thank you

I got spoiled by all the bullshit working with all these european cars. LOL

I got all but the glass roof.


I thought for sure the cars would have been more available now, its actually getting tighter now.

Hopefully going to finalize the deal on the allocation today...latest tomorrow if all works out. Keep your fingers crossed.

last time i looked at the cars.com list was a month ago, but it seemed that there were quite a few white. true, the overwhelming majority were black, and about 85% were heavily optioned. if you got a white/black, the seats aren't effected and the stripe could easily come off. other than that, yep, it's a bit like trying to pick fly shit out of pepper. quite the chore.

i don't think it can be overstated that there really should be a quick, simple way for a customer to find out what dealers still have allocations left. i can't see who could possibly be at a disadvantage by that; quite the opposite. it would seem to help everybody, and Ford/SVT for sure knows how many total allocations they have granted thus far.

I used to work at Scarff Ford where Ken works and I remember him. If anyone decides to follow up in that, be careful with them as they are the typical dealership that's out to screw you over. Found out a lot of shady stuff while I worked there as a teen.

 

[finsrin]

Interesting. I never bought from them. Have no experience on that........

If this is AC Collins Ford, they were wanting 5k ADM last I checked.

 

[Paul1138]

It is $5k over MSRP at the dealer in WA, I called and checked. Best one so far for me is a dealer in VA that wants $18k over MSRP.

$18,000.00 over sticker. These guys are just beautifull aren't they. Is there any wonder why so many people despise car dealers.

 

[Lemers]

Anyone know of any allocations between Kansas City and Omaha? I've takes to a few dealers so far and the only allocation I found the dealer wants $5k ADM.

 

[Marc]

Called the dealership again on this lead. Looks like they changed the options to my car. The superman car had not been built yet. I should have 100% clarification if not today, next week for sure. This would mean a August/early Sept build. Crossing my fingers...

 

[Lemers]

Congrats Chief!

 

[Marc]

^^^ Thanks. Actually worked the coordination between the local dealer here and the dealer in KS where I am buying the car. My dealer here told me that he has made contact with the dealer in KS and working dealer codes, transportation, etc...

So, hopefully, again, next week I will have 100% confirmation.

 

[Lemers]

Ask them if they have another allocation.

 

[Marc]

I can do that when I talk to them early next week

 

[Lemers]

Thx

I heard that Don Vance Ford in Springfield, MO and Mel Hambleton Ford in Wichita, KS have some coming in.

 

[Lemers]

I'll give them a call
