I am happy to report that my MIRACLE came thru tonite!

I put a deposit on a GT350R HEP @ MSRP......... now the waiting game begins!

Thank you all for the expert advice and especially to Harry for his wisdom and knowledge and guidance on the purchase!

When did they say the car would get built? I'm hearing cars could get built through November

Details please. Congrats
After failing to seal the deal at $3K over sticker on Tuesday due to the dealer selling the vehicle just hours before I asked to put a deposit down, I started to call dealers in the more rural areas. After speaking with about 20 of them, most of which didn't even know they had one coming, I finally was able to secure mine at MSRP.
Again thanks to all of you and also to the spreadsheets from @corrieb, they were an unbelievable resource to use when calling dealers. Now if I can figure out how to determine when the car will be built............:)

Use the spreadsheet, Luke... Use the spreadsheet.
I did use them when calling and dealers were asking "where did you get this info. it is not even on our system" I just told them I had connections.........
Thank you for your hard work corrieb!

I could be wrong but despite what another poster is saying I suggest that in fact this is the proper way to transport your car and the appropriate way for unloading a GT350.

If I am wrong then please provide me with appropriate loading/unloading information!

A car like that deserves an enclosed transport.

As you are well aware the final leg delivery to any Ford dealership in NA for all models of Mustang end up being delivered on an OTR open top car carrier and that will also include your ~$107,000 GT500.

When your GT500 arrives at your dealership in Daytona Beach you can certainly expect the same scenario.

Wow Harry, I didn’t know that! That’s a bit worrisome to me.....
When my Giulia Quadrifoglio was delivered to the dealership it was all different story.

Weren't all the 2015 models delivered by Reliable Carriers?



After a certain price point, you would think a vehicle would be delivered in an enclosed carrier. Sometimes I feel it's quantity over quality with Ford. When my car was in Trim Line the other week, I made the mistake of watching videos of other manufactures and their assembly line process. Lamborghini had a whole team inspecting panel gap and the car wouldn't be released until everything was perfect. I guess that's one of the benefits of buying a 260K dollar car.

Even Porsches and Lambos arrive with gap issues. Just cause it leaves the factory “ok” doesn’t mean it will arrive to the dealership aligned.

Lets cut the crap Harry. You are mad at me for a post that you took offense to due to misinterpretation.

How about we move forward and get along.

Virtual hand shake?
