I can 1,000% feel your pain. Listen to my story for a second. I called well over 40 Ford Dealers thru out the country. I googled in many different ways and found out the big guys the little guys and the in between guys. They were all "SOLD OUT OR PRESOLD" and all at crazy high prices. Upon just at the edge of giving up I decided to change my strategy. I actually googled small and rural Ford Dealers in my area. At just about the give up point "Low and Behold" I found a dealer that had NOT SOLD his allocation of "ONE CAR". So I asked him if we could make a deal and " WE DID JUST THAT"!!!!!!! Almost like a miracle if you will. I had even looked into waiting for the 2021's and there were even "wait lists" for them too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I do consider myself extremely lucky to have a signed Purchase Order and the Fact that money has exchanged hands. Interesting that all these cars are "COMPLETELY SOLD OUT" PRICE UNSEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you suppose will happen when the prices get announced this week and they are much higher than people are expecting?????? You know the "OLD STICKER SHOCK THING"????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going to be an interesting and chaotic week. For the people that are paying $20,30, and 40K over MSRP THEY JUST MIGHT HAVE A VERY FRUSTRATING WEEK WHEN THEY FIND OUT THE PRICING ISN'T WHAT THEY EXPECTED IT TO BE.Too bad nobody (more or less) can actually buy a GT500 since, essentially, any given dealer will only be allotted one or two cars, the line is long, and in a lot of cases the dealer/owner, a buddy/insider or someone willing to pay significantly over MSRP will get the allotment. I don't see why Ford can't produce enough to meet demand. It's hard to get excited about such a car when your local dealer says it will be very, very hard (read, impossible) to get....
