About to pay adm

[Tickdoc]

said I wouldn’t, but I found one that fits. Dealer has two, one he’s keeping for himself, one he’s advertising at $12k over. I’m going to offer $1500 over. Crazy?

You can offer $1500, but he won't accept it.

Maybe not, but he’s willing to deal. Trying to decide what it is worth to me. Sad news today from my ordered dealer...no news....no vin, just a promised allocation.

Not sure where you're at but I called every dealer that had one east of Colorado and everyone had ADM, anywhere from $2k to $25k over. I do think these prices will drop but I eventually found a great dealer in Texas that said no ADM just sticker and no fees were tacked on to get it out the door. I snapped it up and trailered it back to Delaware. My point is call/email every dealer that has one and you'll find MSRP. If you don't have a trailer you can rent one from Uhaul and bring it back or use Uship to find a deal. Of course you can always drive it back as well. While not ideal to travel 1,700 miles for a car, I did buy a Bullitt Mustang with no markup and saw Graceland in the same weekend, pretty good experience .

so how did you find which dealers had a bullitt in stock?

I used cars.com and autotrader.com. Put in 2019 Mustang then further filter by body style and select Bullitt. I started only searching maybe 200 miles out but I couldn't get anybody close to MSRP. At least when I was looking there were quite a number of Bullitts in Texas and that's where I settled on. You will see a lot of Bullitts below MSRP advertised on cars.com and autotrader but know that's some automatic algorithm the dealer uses when they put the car up. Once I found one on either of those sites I'd go to the dealer's site to make sure it didnt say $75k or "call to get price" (dont bother). If listed at MSRP I'd send a polite email requesting the asking price of the Bullitt. If you get someone saying $5k above you may be able to say "I did not want to go above MSRP and I'm a serious buyer so if we get to there I'll buy today." At some point someone will move or offer it at MSRP it may just take some searching. Stay away from the east coast though.

I did all the paper work through email and just had to sign on the dotted line when I got to Texas.

I don't have time to search like that. I did find another at $2k adm. I guess I'll just have to do some searching tonight.

How do you search for them then?

just been going through ford's site...only reaches out to 100 mi radius tho.

and they dont list all available Bullitts. When I was in the height of my search Ford's website listed 3 within 100 miles. On autotrader and cars.com there was at least a dozen within that radius. It's really not that complicated and after you send one email you just copy and paste. Do whatever you're most comfortable with but it saved me a few thousand dollars.

From what Ford has advertised it will run 2 years of production. If you're not in a hurry...I'd wait till the hoopla dies down.

well this is fun. Found one under list! (until I called and was ready to deposit, of course)

Found three more advertised at list....until they check with their manager.

The record so far is one listed in Texas for $50k over list. I guess everything really is bigger in Tx.

I've got two within reach at $2k over. I don't want to pay that, but I'm getting kinda desperate at this point.

Just get a GT350.

Why are you desperate? All signs point to continued building through 2020. Once dealers find them sitting on their lots, ADM's will begin to disappear. There's one in my hometown here in Canada with a 5K ADM. It's been sitting in the dealer showroom for over a month. Hang in there.

For a fucking bullitt?!! NO WAY!! it's a GT with accents.
Since you asked, it's not just crazy, It's abso fucking lutely asinine for someine to pay one red cent over MSRP for that car.
