2017 GT350 under MSRP

[ghig302]

I saw what I think was a base, tech or track GT350 at the Palm Springs Ford dealership today, and it was $25k over. Crazy....had a used R and a new Focus RS for $50 grand plus.

Liked it....

Was there getting an oil change for my Boss. Walked upstairs and saw a White and Blue GT350, a Black R and the RS Focus. Told my wife, I would take the R and then the RS, and wouldn't want the White and Blue GT350 for free, unless it was a Track Pack car. All Wheel drive and 300 horsepower is a nice combo for the RS, but let's be real, it is a $37K car at best.

Fwiw, I know the owner of a massive ford dealership. They've got multiple locations.

And I've heard him consistently say that he and his team go to great lengths to keep people happy. They spend a lot of money dedicating resources to it too. Apparently, to them, it's a pretty big deal.

Fair enough. If he's selling GT350's at MSRP, I applaud him.

Might want to rethink the RS. There have been reports of rear diff overheating and sending the car into FWD mode (disables rear diff). Fords still learning. :frusty:

However I haven't heard Bossing complain about his so who knows how widespread it really is.

Went to dealership today and they said it was for sale for $5000 over MSRP. I asked why the price on the internet and they said it was a mistake. I click on the link now and it is $5000 over (or maybe more). So they "fixed" it...

My perception at least in KC area is that these are not selling as well as they first did. Maybe the guys that wanted them and willing to pay over MSRP has or is reaching its limit, I guess time will tell.

Dealers here are doing same. Listed as MSRP, when you actually go into dealer, you see the $5-7k markup. I also got the 'other dealers in the bigger city down South are marking it up more.'

If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Snow season is coming anyways. Which may be a good time to buy.

Well, considering his current stable I'll assume he was actually calling just to check pricing and not actually buy. I could be wrong, but with an R in the garage seems unlikely he was buying a 17 350. So maybe they wasted others time?

Your assumptions are interesting. So, someone with multiple cars can't purchase another one? Very interesting.

Yes, I was interested in purchasing this car. In fact, the salesman I talked to said that they would sell at the listed price and I gave him my CC number to put a deposit down on the car.

A few hours later, I received several calls - first from the New Car Sales Manager, then from the GM. Both stating there was an error on the website, and that they would "do me a favor" by selling it to me at $1,000 over sticker.

...you know what happens when you assume...;)

They were playing that games early on too on East Coast. They know a buyer would search (settings) cars for MSRP. If they listed them at 10-20 over, their car swould not get looks.

No need to get insulted. It was just an observation based on that you already have an R. I think it was a fair assumption, even if you think it makes me an ass.

Clearly, I was wrong. No offense intended.

In fact, he's not. And he was the reason I temporarily left Ford and sold my GT PP to get a Z51.

In was another dealer that sold me mine at MSRP that brought me back into the fold. He got two more purchases from me too.

I go back and forth now, but for certain dealer numner 1, lost my loyalty.

Still true that they do care very much on customer experience and perception. Even if I wasn't particularly pleased with them at the time.
