I don't have you mixed up with anybody else. I didn't say it happened to you, but others in regard to their regular GT350 issues and Ford giving them an R allocation at MSRP.

You must have the magic touch or like you said or a great relationship with somebody because most have tried and failed. I'm sorry, but I don't believe there are many deals for an R at MSRP or even 5k over. I've seen numerous people here put the work in only to have the rug pulled out from under them. Are they out there sure, but many? Maybe our definition of many is different? :shrug:

By the way, your cousin and friend owe you many :cheers:!
Something else is going on here in my opinion. You can be the greatest negotiator in the world and a regular customer is NEVER going to talk a dealer into selling an R at MSRP. My guess is there is a lot more to this story than is being said here. Maybe he is married to a woman who owns a Ford dealership. Maybe he owns a fleet, but I simply don't buy that he negotiated an R for MSRP.

I'm not questioning that he paid MSRP. I'm questioning that it was only his negotiating skills that got him an R at MSRP.

I am not going to get into a debate here but each of the 4 MSRP deals were put together with 3 different dealerships in 3 different parts of the country.

As far as a regular customer such as myself never talking a dealer into an R at MSRP not only have I done that on two of these vehicles but there are other members on this forum who are friends of mine who have done the same.

Carry on and think what you want.

:frusty:

What's up with the woman who looks like she just went to complain to the manager because her latte had too much cream.

:lol:


It's funny because it's true.


The comments on youtube are entertaining - had she said something mildly intelligent or informative about any of the cars I would of praised a good review (it's a great lineup of cars).

I don't really understand these reviews. I get that it's sensational to compare the GT350R to something like the GT3RS but jeez.. I.. ugh. "Let's talk about the infotainment". I learned nothing new about these cars.

More entertaining than informative for sure, but entertaining nonetheless.

And granted, Emme Hall is no Sabine Schmitz, but can only imagine the coaching and driving opportunities that come with being selected to co-host a driving show like that.

Would jump at the opportunity to be on that track with either of those three cars and only two other people.

Thanks for sharing, OP...

I had another 17 R allocation and when I found out about the 18 coming I called the dealership to tell them I didn't want it, i would like to turn it over to a friend. They told me they already have a buyer at double my adm and said their '18 allocation was already taken for the same, I was suprised. I do think that toward the end of 18 MY run ADM will be lower overall. I'd think that making 1/3 more cars should shrink the demand substantially, but talking to that one dealer, its like ever since I put in a deposit they had guys waiting in line.

I think at the very end of the run the ADMs might spike up

The limiting factor is most likely the carbon rims. You can tell all reviewers were extremely impressed with the R, as it's a car that can multi purpose like no other !!
