Just not for me.

That's just plain greedy.

This dealership is down the road from me. I'll stop by and offer invoice. :-)

That is just crazy....

And I thought $120k GT350Rs was bad.

Ford should put a stop to this because people always conflate their experience at an independent dealership with their experience of Ford....games like these almost exclusively create a negative association.

It’s simple really. People just need to stop paying ADM and the dealers will be forced to offer it at MSRP.

^^^What this guy says, dealers do it because people will pat that.

In early 2017 I so desperately wanted a GT350, but refused to pay the dealer markup. Locally it was $10,000. In December 2017 I picked up a used one with 1509 miles for nearly $20,000 less. I imagine a year from now, for those who are patient, a GT500 can be had for less than MSRP.

The first thing that comes to my mind is a phrase started by P. T. Barnum. Which goes like this " There's a sucker born every minute". There are plenty of cars that will be delivered over the next 6 to 9 months and there will be plenty of chances to buy one at a somewhat decent price. This is for the guy "Thats just gotta have it RIGHT NOW". My old deceased partner in business always said to me "There's people out there with more money than brains".

Aaaaand this is one of the main reasons I never purchased Ford products. I wanted a Raptor....ADM everywhere. Though now they can be found with out it yet some dealers still try. I saw GT350s selling for 126k in their first model year. I bought my 2019 GT350 for 55900 out the door. Just think how ludicrous 126k is for that car. A used 2016 is barely worth 40 grand now. The GT500 is an AMAZING car but I'm waiting until next year when ADM has settled, and there will probably be used ones with less than 1000 miles on them. I never bought used before but if it saves me 20-60K well......

That is one thing I always respected about Chevy. You can buy a Z06 a ZL1 or ZR1 and I've never seen markup. You can order one with out any fan fare or tom foolery. Mopar has it's moments.....ie the Demon and the first model year of the Hellcat but with Ford ADM is just standard practice.

It all depends upon the individual Ford Dealership. Every "special edition" Mustang that I've purchased (and there have been a few!) from this same dealer has been at MSRP, so I've been fortunate. My 2020 GT500 will also be @ MSRP. As a high-volume dealer they don't depend upon ADM to profit at the expense of the customer.

There are always a few exceptions to the rule. But all of those allocations are spoken for quickly by loyal Ford guys like yourself. They are few and far between. Congrats on the car. I'm gonna wait till next year when hopefully I can spec it out myself for MSRP. Now if somebody doesn't take delivery and the right car pops up I'm not saying I'd pass it.

Good on your dealer and congrats to you, Chief. AFAIK, you're the only person around here that snagged the car at list. (toothdktr: correct me if I'm wrong on this, too.) ;_-)

MERICA. Don’t like it don’t buy it.

Some idiot somewhere, maybe overseas, will but it.
SMDH.
