Trying to obtain a GT350 for MSRP has to be the most frustrating thing ever

I've tried since May to get one at MSRP (even a 2016 model) but no luck. I've tried both northern and southern CA.

Best I got was 5K over for a 2016 non track pack.

I ended up getting a Lexus GSF recently and still have my mind on a GT350. I've also looked at a GTR but it can't beat the GT350 for the value.

I'm not ready to give up yet. If I can get a GT350 I'm sure either the GSF or ATS-V will go.


Anyone else have luck in NorCal or socal?

I've contact a few dealers in NV and AZ as well. Still no luck. I would love to fly to Iowa or somewhere around there and drive it back to SF.

I do think it is getting more difficult getting a 17 for MSRP. When Ford said they were "sold out" for 17 many dealers saw that as an opportunity to bring back ADM. I have noticed prices seem higher now than in August. This did not mean Ford was no longer making 17's but some dealers are twisting the truth.

Im sure you can still find a few them but I think you will need to move your search to the east.

i live in S Cal and when dealer(s) here asked me what i'm willing to pay for the GT350, I said "sticker"....and the rest is history.

I ended up getting a track pack from IL for sticker about 6 weeks ago. Paid shipping ($1.7k), smog(60 bucks) and a fee (80 bucks) to a third-party company to get my car registered (instead going to DMV for their horrible service). The total bill came out to be around $1.9k. So in reality, you can say i paid $2k ADM.

I recently found out FB has a GT350 page you can join, and they do have some useful info. I just saw a couple different ones for MSRP that people found in midwest.

What color(s) are you after?

A member on here told me about a dealer in Montana that had a 17 allocation for MSRP and I jumped on it immediately. Fast forward 3 months and I just picked up my car last week. Since it never went to the MT dealer, I had it courtesy delivered to a dealer near me for $300. Keep an eye on the "allocations" thread. That's where I found mine.

the group is "Ford Shelby GT350 Owners" on Facebook, and it's a closed group so you have to send their admin a request. I remember seeing someone posting a G.Blue that they saw for MSRP. i don't know if that's a bate, but worth a try if this can save you few grand.

Whatever you do, don't try to save on shipping. good luck:cheers:

I got lucky and only had to contact 6-7 using the Cars.com contact info.
First one back confirming they would do msrp was in TN, I hesitated....
contacted them in the morning and they had a deposit already.

Then one in MN, was a fake out, posted couple grand below, gave me
a run around, and bumped it to $5K over...

Found mine in IN, they confirmed msrp, I talked to Sales Manager directly,
and placed a deposit. When shipping costs came back, he took a few hundred off.
So technically under msrp. This dealer also got me 1.49 % for 60 months
when my CU could only do 1.99.... So saved me $420 bucks there.

I hired a local certified auto inspector to check over the car, highly recommend
this. I also sprung for enclosed shipping through Plycon/Plycar, was a couple hundred
more than open. Pick up is this Saturday, so should see her in about 10 days.

Just use the Cars.com contact, when they contact you, send a offer of msrp to them ,
stating you will do a immediate deposit and buy the car for deals that are way out of State.
If close enough to fly out in morning, drive back for dinner, offer msrp
and bump up to 1500/2000 over.
This will weed out the fake ads

congrats on your car, can't wait to see pics.

I'll do the cars.com thing. Truecar didn't work.

Cargurus inquiries didn't help either for me.
