MSRP GT350

Debbie downer up there...

Sounds like your dealer goes through a lot of SE/Performance rides. Do you actually think that you're going to be stuck with the two for the year?

Looking to place an order and have pretty low tolerance for ADM. Curious if anyone knows of any dealerships within +/- 1,500 miles of Ft Lauderdale that has slots for MSRP/low ADM, thanks!

Sigh. Town and Country Ford says they had four allocations and two have been taken with deposits, but they are charging $10,000 ADM I think he said.

No luck. :(

If anyone wants a GT350 and is willing to pay ADM, Town and Country Ford has two available.

Hi, I don't remember insulting you, so maybe ease into it, huh Candy?

Galpin is the largest in the world and because of that, we get calls from literally all over the world on these cars. I've literally talked to people from everywhere and they have told me/us what their local dealers are charging and what their allotments are. You'd be surprised how much information we can gather just from talking to clients and from being present on these types of message boards. Our market is a little higher in price here, but it's obviously not jsut LA since people all over this board, and all over this nation are paying over sticker at different levels indicating that overall, there IS a bigger demand than supply. Not hard to figure out, Mr. USC.

Also, not hard to figure out that nobody has to pay over sticker for this car. Didn't have to learn that at 'SC...;)

They were very proud of their allocations when I spoke to them early in the process.

Also talked to a crap ton of dealers who have not sold any cars. If they say they sold some there lying to your face. Not many people are going to pay and ADM. I'm finding 350's all over, unsold with ADM. They're not in a hurry to sell yet and I'm not in a hurry to buy. There hasn't been one delivered yet. Geez. Dealers are always going to act like they have one left, and 100 people want that only one. That how you fish bro! Keep calm everyone, and don't waste money hook line and sinker. Never buy a car with I've gotta have it emotions, you'll get robbed every time. Sure wish I could charge all my customers a 50% markup. Naw, I couldn't rob people even if they were filthy rich... That's just me..

Four allocations isn't bad. They have deposits down for two of them.


The search continues....

I have a spreadsheet with all the NorCal dealers who were asking ADM, I passed it on to another member, I'm guessing most of those dealers still have unsold cars or just ordered dealer allocations

I wouldn't mind looking at that. I get the feeling from most dealers that they know way more about selling cars then they do about the car. They prob think it's identical to the GT500 and should be Priced the same. Ford lowered the manufacturing of this car VS the GT500 to sell them, the 500 is coming and will canibalize GT350 sales that dealers are still trying to get ADM's. Pretty soon the GT500 will be back and the old news GT350 will be on sale!

I don't have unlimited funds so I send mine to work!

You pretty much nailed it with that post. The next gen. GT500 will not be kind to the GT350 values, new or used. Anyone that is leaning towards coughing up additional cash for an ADM in the near future might want to consider this.

"Adequate" production would be more accurate terminology as it has been the rule to this point with each and every SE Mustang. "limited" as an adjective indicates more buyers than available units. That is simply NOT how it works with Mustangs regardless of whatever BS and lies your friendly neighborhood car salesman feeds you.

Yes, it does and no, you don't know the market. You do understand that you are giving WRONG and BAD information to fellow forum member?

 

[krt22]

He really isnt, the production numbers really are quite adequate if you look at similar cars.

Not too many 60k+ sports cars with manual only selling more than 5000 units a year.

 

[ElSanchez302]

Exactly and it is the reality of corporate automobile production and marketing.

And that's why in a few years, they'll be worth very little where any Shelby or GT350 will stand up in resale.

 

[ElSanchez302]

You must be getting your C7 information from the same source as your Mustang information. I have spent the last 15 years deeply immersed in and working in the Corvette world, and ADM has never been an issue for the regular C7 or C7 Z06. There's plenty of supply - and some pretty significant discounts - for all Corvettes, except for ones with certain equipment that temporarily are limited due to parts shortages for things like carbon fiber hood inserts.

In addition, no offence to the Vette guys, but Vette's including Z's never hold their resale value. There's a big dealer on the west coast that was discounting older Z's a couple years ago like $12k off. When have you EVER seen a Shelby or boss as a loss leader?? Exactly.

 

[ElSanchez302]

Additional allocations can be forthcoming if sales warrant. Same as they did with the 1st year Gt500s, Mach1s, etc. Very simple and precisely what has transpired in the past, nothing new but obviously quite difficult for some to comprehend. Really doesn't matter though, its not something that is going to change anyones life.


Hope you don't take the bridge at this time next year when you are still fist pounding about 5,000 units and you realize that they have built 8,000 of them.

And we've repeatedly told you that Ford ACKNOWLEDGED that mistake and henceforth reduced it's production every year after. Why are you so dense about that?? Wow man.
