None of them are R models. They R models have a red outer pinstripe, badging and steering wheel
Your very naive if you think dealers lose money selling cars at or below invoice. Plus what else are you gonna do with the high volume Mustangs? They're not exactly hard to find. It's not like they can put adm on an ecoboost. They're not making they're money back, because they havent lost any.They're simply taking advantage of anxious, wealthy, and impulsive buyers. Nothing wrong with that, since some fools are obviously willing to overpay for this car.
I don't understand Ford dealers' stance on adm. They seem to be the only ones to just sit on a car with adm, even when the market softens on said vehicle or it is 1 to 2 model years old.
They likely paid MSRP + ADM from other dealers to acquire these cars. 2007 all over again lol! :lol:
Hey, it's not just Ford dealers. I can hook you up with a Chevy dealer who has a new 2011 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro convertible for just $75K. You'd probably be the only one on your block who has one!
Welcome to the forums. If you had bothered to research before responding, you'd have seen that a lot of members got their cars at Koons for very low prices very early in the 2015 model year. At that time, most dealers couldn't keep regular cars in stock and were not willing to move much from MSRP. Invoice on regular GTs is about $1000 over holdback. Dealerships have to make money to keep the lights on.
The Shelbys bring in business by people gawking at them, or finding them online then coming in to have a look. Being a fairly limited production car, I'm sure Koons isn't looking to give these away and will sit on them until they get their moneys worth.
I think Koons is buying these cars from other dealers. I talked to them last fall and they only had a couple 350s inbound and no R allocations. Then about every few weeks after they started rolling out they started this collection and I have only saw a couple actually move from the lot to potentially someone owning it.
Not entirely. I was there a couple months ago and tried to negotiate for one of their GT350's -- they were asking $20k ADM and weren't willing to negotiate much because according to the sales guy, the car I wanted had come from another dealer for $10k ADM.
Its a business to them... Buy allocations from other dealers that would normally sell for the 2k it costs to buy into the program, and then mark up another 10k or so. I they don't sell THEY can write off the loss. Can we as buyers write off the loss we take on these cars if we buy at 10k over msrp or sell a couple years later for 10k under msrp? Lol... don't work that way does it!!
Yeah I think they only got two allocations and the rest are from other dealers. If they truly had this many cars they should have gotten 3 Rs but when you check for them on the Ford top selling dealers they aren't even in the top 150.
