GT350R Valuations Declining?

[stanglife]

Just purchased a new 2018 350 GTR from Beach Ford, Virginia Beach, VA for $6140 under MSPR. Didn't have to negotiate as that was the price listed on their website. Thought it was a typo or some kind of bait and switch but it wasn't. Shadow Black with no Electronic package. Price before T&L was $59500. Shipping via closed container was $1850 to California. Car should arrive by the end of the week. Already received my owner's supplement from Ford Performance. While on vacation in Hawaii last year the car rental agency upgraded my rental to an Mustang GT and I've been hooked ever since. Been monitoring the prices for the GTR and was hoping to pick one up for MSRP. In my humble opinion the best time to purchase a car is year end. Can't wait to take a spin down the coast on Highway One.

Congrats - let’s not perpetuate calling these cars GTRs ;0. Hopefully you purchased a GT350R.

What is the chassis number? It is above the glove box and should say "JRxxx". No electronics package? You got a base R under MSRP? Wow.

So is this a Base R? If so, not many of those. Congrats!

The car is still in transit from Virginia. I did receive my Owner's Supplement gift and the certificate stated JR394.

I didn't think they made any Non electronics package R's in 2018? Looks like I'm wrong.

Yes no options.

Congrats to ltcolton - you may have just bought the last base R model ever built. During the four year model run that allowed base cars (15 - 18), there were just 135 of them built. I believe that white, followed by black, were the most popular color choices throughout the run. Due to the federal law requiring back-up cameras in all cars starting May 1, 2018, Ford started requiring the electronics package on all R models as of that date. Your window sticker indicates that it was invoiced to the dealership on 4/11/18, which means it was built sometime in the middle of April. Not sure if they built any base cars after yours, but surely something worth looking into further - check with PP0001 for more info.

And welcome to the base model club - mine (JR265) was built in late March and is magnetic with matte black stripes and body-color roof.

Yes no options.

Picture of it on the transport at the dealership. Had the salesperson take pictures of the car being loaded. My Audi R8 GT is the same color Black with red brake calipers. I 'll take a picture of both of them together

and will post.

Came across a 16' Base "R" this a.m. on eBay. Interesting car as it was put into storage after purchase. 16 miles on the clock. If your looking for a low production car this would be one to consider.

There was also another 16" "R" on eBay and it was a PP016 chassis. This brings to mind the question, are these PP--- # cars included in the final tally of produced cars? For instance there are 145 Base "R" cars built total. If there were 6 of these PP--- cars sold out to the public are they part of the 145? Might be a Harry question!!

Made it home to California safe and sound. Will have to wait for a sunny day to take this "Beast" out to the coast. Spin out the tires on my damp driveway.

I believe the PP vehicles count. Harry said its more like 120 something in actual circulation as opposed to 135 base. And I know of one that is no longer with us.

That was a steal and a mistake. Good for you. I had a very difficult time getting JR357 down to MSRP.

Beautiful car! I have the same ...2016 black no stripe but with the electronics package. They look awesome when clean but can be tough to keep clean. Congrats and enjoy!
