Beware of idiots
You said it yourself..... supply and demand. Demand high with a lower supply means the value of th vehicle will be higher for current and collector value.I don't understand this kind of logic. How are they devaluing the R model? They are not delivering less product. Nor are they raising the prices for the same product. Remember that Ford gets no additional revenue for dealer-charged ADM's; that's pure profit-taking on the part of the dealers. So if Ford decides to build more high-margin vehicles to meet the under-served demand, their revenues are up and dealers will sell more cars - albeit at a lower ADM. The only folks that should be annoyed are those that have paid ADM's with the assumption that they'd recoup it somehow like all the used R's on ebay that don't seem to sell.
I also really can't comprehend any way that this is not good for "future purchasers."
I get it..... people want widespread availability to bring the price down. My skin in the game is an ADM that is about to be assigned a VIN on an agreed upon price at a value based upon past and projected production. Nobody saw this one coming.
As Epiphany stated, this could be the last hurrah leading into a short year for the next best thing. If that's the case, I'm ok with that. My current 350 was a MSRP deal. I'm not a big fan of handing over extra gobs of money for a car that has been on order for over a year to suddenly find out that they are going to pull out all the stops and break from precedence.
Your skin in the game is an R that you would normally not buy due to the cost. My skin in the game is not paying a big ADM to find out they are changing production numbers and changing the value of the car. And yes, this would affect the value of the R.
