I bought my 16 at Ted Russell for about 7 over. I ordered my 17 R at Crown in Nashville, paid 20,000 over. I called almost every major Ford dealer in TN, GA and KY. I missed a few that were cheaper but at 20 over I can live with that. The 16 R that Ted Russell had sold for 102,000.00.
I had an Oxford White 17 R ordered and just changed it to Lightning Blue with black roof and swipe delete with navigation. Can't wait to get it. I have. 16 GT350 to drive until them :-).
My priority code was 10. Even though I have an order sheet with the order number and dealer number the actual order is still on hold. They are waiting on the regional Ford rep to tell them they can put the order in when they actually get the build allocation at the plant.
I called the number listed for SVT orders. They are very helpful. The gentlemen I spoke to even verified my order etc. He told me according to his supervisor the next R's would possible be built mid July.
I ordered my R on 5-23-16. I ordered a lightning blue with electronics package and full cover and black roof.
I currently have a 16 GT350. I liked it so much that I wanted an R. Ford has told me that maybe mid July they may start building some R's.
