Barnum was correct!There is probably some fool out there who would pay this extortion. Unbelievable!
I assume you’re referring to his most famous: “there’s a sucker born every minute”Barnum was correct!
Some people just have a lot of discretionary income. Just cause most dont have it doesn't mean they don't. When you have a billion dollars, 40 or 50k is nothing.There is probably some fool out there who would pay this extortion. Unbelievable!
Our car is such an outlier though…in the grand scheme of things. I’m sure there are other cars like the C8 vettes who are holding value well, but most cars don’t.I agree with your statement, but if you want to sell your GT500( NOW), you're more than likely to get a much higher price than the depreciation it took. You might even get all your money back and some, plus all the fun you had with the car since new!
That 2023 Z06 seems to be a beast!in spite of all the ADMs etc, it’s awesome the US is/still is building muscle cars, let alone like the GT500, new NA Z06, upcoming ZR1 etc.
$6k is a hell of a lot more appealing than $30k, good for you, and kudos to the kid who encouraged you to make an offer!I just took delivery of 2021 GT500 on Saturday, I paid 6k over MSRP. I had been looking for about month, I live in Phoenix, AZ there was a car in Tucson but they wanted 25K over MSRP, I text back and forth for little over a week in early Jan, but they didn't want to sell. Then I got Covid and put the car thing on hold, finally last Thursday I started looking again, I didn't bother Tucson even though they car was still available. I found a couple cars that had what I wanted, first dealer wouldn't give me a price thru there online text or email, so Friday I had more time on my hands and I called the second dealer ( they did have the better car for me) They were asking 30K over and I laughed, but kid I talked to said to make a offer so I offered 5K over and countered at 6k, the deal was done in under 2 hours between a few calls and text. The current car market is a mess both new and used cars with chip shortage and supply chain issues who know what will happen next, 2022's are more expensive than the 2021 and who know when they will start build a 2022's and how many they will build this year at this point. A Shelby key in the hand is worth more than one a waiting list. While I wish I spent less I'm still very happy with my purchase.
5K is manageable. 6k is good considering the nonsenseI just took delivery of 2021 GT500 on Saturday, I paid 6k over MSRP.

I think from your response you meant that a fool and his money are soon parted. Well not really. A person who has a crap load of money may have discretionary money could be soon parted, but what business is that of yours?A fool and his money is s
Congrats! You got the same deal I did and I also got the car exactly as I wanted it.I just took delivery of 2021 GT500 on Saturday, I paid 6k over MSRP.

This is how I feel as well. ADMS suck. The whole dealership network and experience is dumb and it sucks. This is just simple supply and demand like everything else in a capitalist society. Dealerships aren't scumbags for trying to make as much profit as possible as a business. That's just how the world works. Everything we buy is taxed, middled, marked up by god knows how many people.I think from your response you meant that a fool and his money are soon parted. Well not really.

If you are on the balls of your ass, you don't need to be buying a track car.
But if you have the discretionary income, why not?
God bless America and our way of life comrade.
I have a CFTP because I paid over sticker. How much is irrelevant. I spent discressionary income to make that happen. I dont regret it. You on the other hand may.
