I Gave Up

[jvandy50]

Did you find the AG/White you were looking for? The dealer where I bought my R has had one for months now (at least since April):

i found many, and thank you for another link...never hurts to try.

problem is i have a 17 with 3800 miles, so to trade it'll cost around 10k...i just cant stomach that.

only way this will happen is me finding someone tired of their AG and wanting black...#longshot

So as the title states I have given up on purchasing a GT350. Being in Southern California the ADM on these cars are ridiculous and even though I do a inventory search on Ford.com and see that there are 65 of them within 100 miles radius but dealers..... (same story) I have even looked at used ones and the price is still hovering around $58K to $60. I know I can find deals outside of CA but the passion and desire for one has dropped. Thanks to these dealers.

So the other day I walk into my local dealer and of course they have a AG with $10K ADM and I knew this walking in but for the first time I wasn't there to see her. Sitting right next to her was a Nitrous Blue Focus RS with a manger special tag hanging from the rearview mirror reading "-$4000 Off MSRP" I always like this car but I have always been a V8 guy pledging my fight in the Pony Wars but now that fight was getting harder and more expensive. Plus back in March I bought a Ducati Panigale to quench my thirst for the track (Laguna Seca Aug 27). So to get to the point I purchased that RS. Great little car, super fun to drive and LC is really fun to use. The deal was too great to pass up, just a few months ago dealers were asking $5-8K ADM on these and many dealers still are. So with that said I wish everyone still looking for a deal on a GT350 good luck.

I completely understand, as I live in long beach and probably frequented the same dealers. I tried for about 4 months locally. The best I was able to do was an adm of 6k. A search on cars.com revealed one in oregon in the color combo I wanted. The process was easier than I thought. I can see one getting discouraged by the local buying experience and giving up.

But dang, ending up with an RS and a Ducati is not a bad alternative.
