[Tomster]

There is a twister orange CFTP, painted stripes, black roof on ebay now. Listing is ending in about 3 hours. Current bid is $125,108.

I must admit, Tom, every time you or someone else who follows such things mentions the selling/sales price of one, I smile. It's good to get lucky ONCE in awhile. :-)

Sounds like a reoccurring conversation I have with my wife.

I was surprised to see it only go for $125,180. I figured it would go for a cool $30k ADM

I think that was only a $20k ADM

Probably boils down to the variance in greed and/or the cost of living around the country would be my guess, Tom and I sure didn't miss haggling for mine.

I'm sure that if I paid a normal ADM for mine, my experience wouldn't have had the turn it did.

Tom: Only the shadow knows for sure, I suppose but your situation is quite unique not to mention extremely frustrating and painful. Here's hoping it will be nothing but smiles, soon.

Thanks for the kind words kent. This whole thing is FUBARd. Look @chief_charlie. He still doesn't have his car. Now that is a disaster.

I really dont think this story is going to end with all smiles. I think this is crap, for me and others who hadn't had a charmed ford experience again and again. So... like I said. Ill get my car, ill be happy with it, and I will never do this again with Ford. The system is loaded and it stinks. Never again.

It not worth 130k period and yes this system stinks . I just purchased a much better track focused car objectively and subjectively AMG GTR PRO that is only 150 total production for the US for significantly UNDER MSRP.

I didn't pay $130K. I got a heck of a deal.

Excellent news on your new car! As long as you are happy....That's what it is all about!

All subjective. One of the reasons some cars sell for more than MSRP is that they punch above their weight. This was absolutely true for the 350R and seems to be true for the 500CFTP. The AMG GTR Pro is sexy as hell but it's also $200k. Is it twice the speed of a 500CFTP? I know there's more to it than that but that's just one way people can (subjectively) legitimize spending more than MSRP for certain cars. If the price was the same, I'd be all over the AMG but at the price point of the CFTP (even if it was 130k), it would be/is attractive.

PS - BAM, turned this into an ADM thread! ;)
