2017 GT350 under MSRP

[Tell3131]

No affiliation, haven't verified price, etc. Just saw on website and passing along. If true, then a good deal for someone. Roughly $3000 under MSRP. Maybe this is common now and people are getting for less than MSRP, if so, then mods can delete. Thanks!

Thanks for the post. I followed up, and they want $5K over.

Not surprised, I bet I answered a dozen "Bait & Switch" internet ads when I was looking for a Boss 302 where the dealer listed the car at a discount but said it was a "mistake" when I called them.......that certainly looked too good to be true for a '17.

If anyone is interetesed in a open '17 allocation, I do know of a dealership that is still waiting to sell. I think right now the price is $1k over MSRP (basically covering the cost they paid to be able to order the car). Nothing in it for me. Just send me a PM and I'll pass on the info.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I hope you politely thanked them for wasting your time.

Sorry about that. I didn't verify it first, but thought someone would want to take a swing at it.

I have never seen a car dealer complain about the bad reputation they have among the general public. My sense is the majority of them own it without remorse.......

I recall being at a dealer for service and could overhear someone in an office listening to a voice mail from an irate customer. The guy was calling his fellow employees into his office to listen and they were all laughing about it.....there was some karma in the end as the owner of this dealership got into some huge legal hot water for fraudulent dealings with a manufacturer....

Fwiw, I know the owner of a massive ford dealership. They've got multiple locations.

And I've heard him consistently say that he and his team go to great lengths to keep people happy. They spend a lot of money dedicating resources to it too. Apparently, to them, it's a pretty big deal.

Well, considering his current stable I'll assume he was actually calling just to check pricing and not actually buy. I could be wrong, but with an R in the garage seems unlikely he was buying a 17 350. So maybe they wasted others time?

Had this bait and switch tactic tried on me when I was looking for my GT350 as well.

Maybe I am missing something here but calling to confirm a very good price on a new GT350 and then communicating that back to the rest of our members is wasting each others time?

Possibly this individual was sincerely interested in this car and even if he wasn't at least we all know now how this particular dealership operates from a moral and ethical business standpoint.

Like I said, "maybe".

But it sounds like we are both making assumptions.

Who knows? Only the gentleman that called. Maybe he will chime in. Not really important. Just sticking up for dealerships a little, regardless of the true intentions of his original sleuthing call.

It is tough dealing with customers.

Please understand, I'm not defending this specific dealership. Especially in light of the information that they were clearly lying. It's a terrible practice.

But damn it's hard to be in sales and deal with customers.

Went to dealership today and they said it was for sale for $5000 over MSRP. I asked why the price on the internet and they said it was a mistake. I click on the link now and it is $5000 over (or maybe more). So they "fixed" it...

My perception at least in KC area is that these are not selling as well as they first did. Maybe the guys that wanted them and willing to pay over MSRP has or is reaching its limit, I guess time will tell.
