Ford of Canada took less ā18s because of the overstock on 17s.
Regardless, weāll see a good amount here.
I fully expect my Calgary dealer to have up to 30 cars with 4 CFTP.
They were the first dealer to deliver the Ford GT (which a symposium was held at Fred Philips private collection, google him if you donāt know) and they're a big player.

My Saskatoon dealer I bought my R from should see around 25, with 3 CFTP. Of course these are estimates. Iām starting to have some excitement for this car, I didnāt at first.
Itāll be tough to choose, I actually managed a spot on the list (2nd) in Saskatoon for a Boxster Spyder. So Iām in a pickle.
I might have to get rid of my ultra rare Base 350 and my civic type R. Love the type R, itās just hilarious how good it is.
You dealer is adding ADM to that "MSRP". LOL, should be changed: "MSRP changed to DSRP and the DSRP is 20k more."
Ya, there's a couple of dealers here in Omaha that told me they are getting $10K over msrp as well. One dealer actually owns 3 Ford Dealerships and the other owns 2 Ford Dealerships. All 5 cars are already sold and all 5 went for $10K over msrp. Someday when all this "HUGE HOOPALA" dies down Iam going to tell folks what I really think of dealers that do this. Plus I feel Ford should not allow them to do it either. It just leads to people having a really bad taste in their mouth for the whole thing.
Nice R!Great point about Canada being overstocked with regular GT350's from 2017 therefore they decided to cut back their orders dramatically for the 2018MY except for 2018 R model.
Of the 205 GT350/R's that Ford dealerships received for the 2018MY almost half of that total was made up of R models (93 cars for 45.4%) which is pretty incredible.
Regarding Saskatoon Ford dealerships I grew up and graduated from that fine city so when my daughter spotted a Ruby Red & Black Roof R model "HR013" sitting in the Jubilee Ford showroom she immediately called me about the car after which time I reached out to my cousin in Alberta who was looking for an R model at the time.
I negotiated an MSRP deal with Jubilee Ford for HR013 and then turned everything over to my cousin in Alberta after which time paperwork, deposits, etc. took place. Won't get into the rest of the details but Jubilee tried to back out of the MSRP deal a short time later using some lame excuses which I won't get into at this time therefore my respect for this Ford dealership has long gone.
Pretty cool that you have a 2016 Base R and a Type R as well as I used to own GR107 which was also a SB Base R and if you unfortunately have to get rid of your Base R I am sure someone will snap that rare R model in short notice.
Speaking of R models and Type R's I have attached pictures of HR019 and my Rallye Red Type R that I just sold before relocating out West.
At $35,995 the Type R is obviously one of the best bangs for the buck out there and as you mentioned is just hilarious how good this car is.
Who would have thought that a mass produced Civic could have a top end speed of ~170 MPH let alone all of the great handling characteristics that come with a FW drive 4 door car.
The gentleman that owns all of these dealerships in Saskatchewan, Alberta and now building a Porsche dealership in Kelowna (may be built by now) is Vaughn Wyant who owns the Wyant Group and don't know much about him but if Jubilee Ford is any indication of their overall business model I will certainly take my business elsewhere going forward.
