2017 GT350 Pricing

[JonS]

I can't speak to visibility with the track spoiler, but it is standard for MY17. If you find that you don't like it, I'm sure you could easily find someone on here with a base/Tech MY16 that would swap with you. There were 3 spoilers, base/Tech which is a small "lip" style, Track which is a raised "ducktail"-like spoiler and the R which is a huge wing.

As far as the packages go, they're mutually exclusive. The wording is funky but the only difference between the two are the seats, manual Recaros vs powered, climate controlled sport bolstered seats. It's up to you if you want the harness holes in the seat and more steep bolstering or if you want motorized seats that can heat and cool themselves with a little less bolstering. Pick which one you want if you want all the extra tech gadgetry, the price is the same $3k either way.

Thanks very much. It just dawned on me that there should not be a $6K increment since there had been an overlap with the 2016 track and technology packages that could not be ordered together (like the MagneRide). This now makes sense.

The visibility with the Track Pack spoiler is perfectly fine. I have absolutely no problems looking back through the rear view mirror. No need to worry there.

Thanks, that was my only worry.

I learned something about pricing yesterday at the dealer. I can have the car at MSRP. The Dealer did say they had to join a program to get the 350's and all they were looking for was about $1,200 to cover those costs. Given what others were paying I thought this was not too bad an ADM fee.

They don't take deposits, they keep a list of people (this is a smaller dealer that I know which is why I went there). When something comes up they let people know. Also they said because Ford places value on units sold in the dealer's area, they give priority to local people. I like this approach.

That's fine if it's their only car. If it's not, then they're probably asking that of everyone and being a bit disingenuous. Regardless, $1200 is not a bad ADM at all in this market.

Does that mean the car is being ordered as dealer stock or did you have the ability to change it to what you want? I'm not sure if the latter is true, but it's not a bad policy, particularly if they're not gouging you.

Good point. I was told their annual allocation is 1 car, but there was left over capacity so they are getting a second 2016. This was a last minute thing so they just ordered it. Interesting, they were told by Ford that there were no over the top stripes left -- of all the things to run out of

Yes, when it comes down to it, yes, you can configure it however you want. I still can not make up my mind. I like Ruby Red though.

Ruby Red is a MY17 color.

That's weird that they say that "ran out" of stripes. Unless they tried to order the ever-present white with blue stripes and got bounced back on that. The blue stripes are changing for MY17. Other stripes should be the exact same that they're using when they cut over, which will be with no production hiatus so I don't buy that excuse if it applies to white and black stripes as well.

Just a heads up -

For those of you looking to track inbound cars through ford.com, I just noticed the model year 2017 is now an option, and 2015 has been removed. Must have been fairly recent as I'm on ford.com multiple times weekly.

Anything is possible. I bought my 03 10th anniversary with 2500 miles on it and saved $17k over new, I bought my 2010 Shelby 6 months old with 9k miles on it and saved $15k over new. These prices are under not MSRP. So in today's cases with ADMs that money is gone plus depreciation.
The media hype is very great with this car. Ford is doing a much better marketing job now than they used too.
Let's not forget a large part of these articles we read online or in print are entities that are heavily subsidized my manufactures.
We all talk about ADM's and why would Ford price the car at X and allow the dealers to sell it for Z over MSRP leaving profit on the table. In my opinion this is just another marketing scheme for generating excitement and demand for the car. Ford is a multi-billion dollar company. They know what they are doing, and don't just leave money on the table.
Everyone not being able to get one at will drives longer term demand and keeps the price up over time. Ford hasn't made the same mistake twice as they did with the terminators. We all know the discounts that the end of the run terminators had on them

Now 2017 350 owners are all required to buy coolers whether they want them or not. The price of a 16 tech pack car just went up $6000 . Oh well

The price of '16 Tech vs. '17 Convenience Pack is only about $1K difference. Pretty reasonable upcharge to get the coolers.

You are right my bad

I am looking to purchase a 2017 GT350 in Houston or the Central Texas area. I want to order it to exact specs and I am willing to wait. Any dealer recommendations in this area?

It's a 2k difference. The MY16 tech pack was 1k more than the track pack. The MY17 base is the same price as the MY16 track and the electronics or convience package is 3k on top of that.
