I’ve thought about having someone at the dealership video it on a phone...I think it is a great idea, just need to figure out how to do it and not have it spoil the surprise. Would be cool to look back on.
Will be long just to set some background, but short version is that I am trying to come up with ways to surprise my father with the GT350 I have a deposit on.
My father, 74, had a 65 HiPo fastback when he got out of college. That car was stripped for its motor and found burned after a couple...
That is what I was thinking. Either way I would ask the dealer about the history and let them know it is standing between you making an offer on the car so they are incentivized to find out the answer and get he info to you.
I had my choice of non-R’s at MSRP...on lot or a 2018 I could order. Lowest I have found an R was about 7k over for two without electronics package, and $10k over for a LB with black stripes, but all would require ahipp8ng and weren’t the colors or options I was looking for.
Tried to get some...
My favorite color combo....what dealer? There was one in Gwinnett that would only go down to 15 over but that was via phone, not in the dealer with cash in hand.
And Go Dawgs!
Does anyone have the approach angle for a non-R and an R, or can anyone measure these? I don’t have access to either car. I will measure the angle of the area I am concerned about.
Many thanks for anyone’s help.
Thanks..I can love with the splitter scraping - like you said, that can be considered a wear item. I just want to make sure that it won’t scrape more than just the splitter.
So have been all set to buy my father an R once his house sale closes...came down to N Georgia to help him with some pre-move stuff. Today we went to his new place and there is a spot I am concerned about with a car scraping.
Tiny town in N Georgia and the closest place to buy an R is in...
May be able to get an 18 for same price as a 17...with such limited numbers in 18 they will be more scarce but don’t see any reason they would have any meaningful difference in value down the line...I am not buying it for future value but curious nonetheless.
Going to be buying a new R for my father in about 3weeks...considering 3 colors...
LB w/ black
White w/ black
Magnetic w/ white.
I have found LB and white but no luck on magnetic/white. I have searched the Ford inventory for the big cities and no luck...autotrader, eBay, etc.
If...
Easy to get a non-R for MSRP in TN right now, probably even in Atlanta. Trying to get a good deal on an R but can’t buy for about 2.5 weeks...the wait is killing me.
Long story as to how/why, but I will be ordering an R for my father assuming the sale of his house goes through in a month.
I am in Nashville and he is in North Georgia...i could go ahead and order as all contingencies have been released and delivery would likely be after Nov 10th.
