Well see, that's what ended up happening with covid last year. They ended up prioritizing customers cars over dealer stock upon re opening. I could see the materials going to the sold customer orders before dealer stock just like last year. Guess we'll see..
I understand your frustrations. But as stated above its all brands right now! My cousin is sales manager at one of the biggest Chevy dealers in the state and they can't get new trucks, stopped taking orders, won't take deposits, nothing. Pretty crazy.
Nice to hear from somebody from maine. I currently own a 2019 Ford Raptor and a 2019 GT 350 R. I was 2 years trying to purchase to raptor in maine and it was a absolute horror show because every dealer wanted a $ 5000.00 to $ 10,000.00 ADM, which I would not pay. Every dealer was a real asshole. I finally found a dealer in maine 2 hours from me. I ended up buying the GT 350 R from the same dealer. I ordered the GT 500 CFTP from the same dealer back in march. My order has been pushed back twice since march and now the date has been pulled. I know it's not Fords fault and I am not made at Ford, but I think between quality control issues and laying out $ 100,000.00 to just park it for 6 months probably is not the smartest choice. I will probably just wait until 2022 or maybe not at all.
The sad thing, is you are right. So I guess for $ 100,000.00 and better than a 50 percent chance there will be panel gaps, paint flaws, and interior rattles and no attention to detail, I can keep my $ 100,000.00.
Yes, I had all those issues.... you may or may not. If 100K is an issue for this car, then you may want to keep the 100K and put it towards a 250-300K P car that will have less performance.
Again I agree with you on the fact that based on pure performance it is a bargain at $ 100,000.00 in some ways. Although there are videos out there of the GT 500 being beaten by less expensive cars in stock form 0-60 and at the track. But nonetheless , it is a great sports car, no question. And I am not here to bash ford, I do understand that the production delays are not their fault, chip shortages and other material delays. But my feeling is that $ 100,000.00 is alot of money for any car and if my GT 500 gets pushed back to late august or later, I would just as soon not throw $ 120,000.00 at something that after around 45 days will be getting parked in the garage for 6 months. The money is not the problem, but I try to be somewhat reasonable with it. Where does the $ 120,000 come from ? = PPF, CERAMIC, TAXES, INSURANCE, AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION. Not cheap to park for 6 months. The other thing that worries me is, when Ford does get this all sorted out they will trying so hard to get caught back up with production numbers that quality is going to be a real issue, and in my book when you are spending $ 100,000.00 you shouldn't have to worry about that = LEXUS.
Fixed it for ya. LOL
Do what you do man. Nobody is here to talk you in or out of it.
I love your sense of humor.
If the EPA doesn't shut down all the aftermarket suppliers.
Why would they?
