I suspect that those allocations are long gone.

An MSRP deal might be very hard to find at this point. There are multiple stories about folks calling double digit dealers looking for an allocation that hasn’t been spoken for.

Your best bet would be to call rural dealers and hope they have not sold their allocation and then hope they will take MSRP. I found a dealer in rural Minnesota to sell me a base model at MSRP with my home town dealer asking 25-30k ADM.

If you want one bad enough, my suggestion is starting calling until you find the deal you want.

Even the rural dealers are smelling the money. I was called back from a dealer in the poorest county in my state and they still initially wanted 15 k over for base. Of course I balked and they came back next day at 10. The problem with base ADM getting to high is many banks may not finance that amount bc the asset isn't worth it and insurance may not cover that note. My ? will be how many people can pony up a solid 10-15 K out of pocket for a base then come up with down payment. While the monthly cost doesn't (payment) change as much when note balance goes up 10-15k, those lumps sums may be difficult for many and may be the rate limiting factor with the base ADMs. Time will tell but I suspect as always patience will be rewarded.

I would think that most of us willing to pay 10k ADM are writing a check for it anyways so the bank note is not really relevant. I for one think that buying a toy like this is something you just pay for not borrow for. My opinion anyways

Most banks will do 120% of cars value BTW

I agree, ADM ( if applicable)+ Taxes+down payment at a minimum

I agree, however my point wasn't about what people are willing to do, it was what is within their means to do. i.e. there are not likely 5000 people out there who love mustangs enough to pony up a large chunk out of pocket. Then when you get to this price point, those that can afford toys this level, often want different toys (porshes, audis etc). Therefore, the ADMS could be difficult for a lot of people (mustang has traditionally been a blue collar muscle car) and financing is their only option. And if you can just "pay for your own toy out of pocket" then you can afford whatever ADM right?. To each his or her own. On My GT350R I have a 2.4% interest rate, my investment return on that extra money I could have used to pay for it out of pocket is around 7-8% since the vehicle was purchased. So, each person is free to choose whatever financial path they feel is in their own best interest. No right or wrong, just different opinions. To me Cash locked up in a depreciating asset vs accessible cash appreciating is the better option......Just my opinion as well.

Allen, you better get some options on it this time.

I’d say either scenario you will loose ..for the neAr future...minimum.
There is always something better down the pike.
If the car speaks to you buy/finance/lease your dream machine

I called a dozen. Mostly in VA. 20-30 ADM.
My next step is wait for in stock. Easier to bargain.

Be patient, a significant amount of folks are switching to the C8 and I’m sure the ADM’s is one of the reasons, demand for this will slow quickly in my opinion. ADM’s kills Ford every time, their dealers are the worst.

Agreed that the C8 is causing a great amount of buzz. However, I don’t think a single person who found a dealer that was guaranteed an allocation, specked and ordered a GT500 and received a DORA (even without a VIN) actually cancelled that order because of the C8 announcement. If you are the type of enthusiast who buys a GT500, you knew the C8 ME was coming out, no big surprise. Maybe the price was a little surprise, but after the Z51 package and the upgrade options that would match the STANDARD features of the GT500, the prices will be even.

There may have been some people “on the fence”, but at this point, the decision has essentially been made for them. So they are posturing about “switching to a C8” because they think they will be saving money (which they won’t), or because their local dealer didn’t save an allocation for them.

I completely agree with you though, ADMs really kill the entire buying experience.
