Having paid ADM for the gt350r, I personally think I will not be in a hurry to repeat the process, after having seen what happened with the gt350.
To me, it seems like Ford needs to be more straightforward about the production run. Remember when the gt350 came out, and many rumors placed the run as two years only, and only about 500 R models per year? Obviously there was never hard confirmation, but that’s exactly the problem.
Personally, I would be happy to allow those wanting the latest hot thing to pay extra to get it first, and wait for a couple years to be able to get it (new - we aren’t discussing used car sales) at closer to MSRP.
Unfortunately, the lack of information about long term gt350 production ended up feeling almost purposely misleading with the intent to keep interest and ADMs high. Perhaps it isn’t true (probably not), but it felt bad to me, and I am sure others as well.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my gt350r, and don’t regret getting it, but I would think long and hard about paying adm again. I also would argue that getting an R at MSRP, especially early on, was as much about luck as it was about searching, and while it might be fair enough, it certainly isn’t a feel good process for those that dislike haggling with dealers....
