He used to write for jalopnik then got big with his YouTube car reviews which he then leveraged into his version of BaT. Kinda like Chris Harris (Top Gear, The Drive) is doing with his new venture “collecting cars”
From my perspective they were always appreciated. They were going for over MSRP for most of the time they were being sold new. I think mid 2020 to the end of 2020 was the only time you could really buy a good condition low miles GT350 or GT350R for less than MSRP.
My concern is continued production of high-performance ICEs into the next-gen Mustang that may have some exclusivity like the GT350. The announcement mentions “profitability” so that like means no Voodoo-like stuff but it gives me some concerns.
Anyone bored should go read the comments on these auctions...
Mostly right. They are asking dealers to specialize. I don't think Ford really wants to completely cut dealers out of the EV business. They want the dealers to agree to deliver customer orders online without any fuckery. If you want to go into a dealer and buy a EV you'll be able to do that. If you want to spec a car online and wait you can do that too. I think they want the option of selling direct to hold over the dealer's heads so they'll sign the agreement they want. Probably something along the lines of no more ADM. No more required packages. No more insane doc fees. There should be no surprises anymore.
Could be true. And the dealers might want something from Ford in return. Maybe buying back or chipping in on cars that the dealer can't sell at MSRP.
