This would have been a great car if it was A10 , I’m going to trade mine in with 700 miles this week or week after Christmas for a 2020 A10 PP in either iconic Silver or Rapid Red
I bought my used 2018 A10 pretty loaded in Ruby Red Metallic. Has the 20" wheels with summer tires. It rides incredibly good even though it doesn't have the PP. 355 gears and is very fast. Handles good. Just really a fun car. I have never been a fan of red cars but the color really grabs you in person. I do not have plans to sell my Whippled Bullitt, but when I get back to Motown where the cars are I'm going to put some miles on the '18. If it steals my heart, I might sell the Bullitt.

Rtown Ford in Maryland had several brand new
love the shenanigans. Advertising the 53K msrp car for 59.999 and then marking it down by 8000 so it's now $1500 off MSRP. Talk about shameless.

I have been looking at getting a Bullitt.
Anyone have any insight why there seems to be a lot still available new?
I also see a bunch used too. Curious to know what people think. Thanks.

Go to www.cargurus.com, open up the search to Nationwide and there’s a lot of new Bullitts still available on Dealer lots. There are still listings on eBay as well for new Bullitts... They’re not scarce since Ford built quite a few for both model years.

It’s really a niche vehicle, it’s not for everyone; had Ford given the option of the 10R80, the sales would have been more aggressive - BUT we know since the original Bullitt was never an automatic that was never going to happen with any retro Bullitt. But then why produce a Bullitt in black, because Bullitt was certainly NEVER black....

This time around, Ford burned out the Bullitt which may explain the over saturation still left on Dealer lots; the car should have been only an exclusive 1 year production run.

I have negotiated a price on a leftover. I am a little on the fence. I bought a 2012 Shelby after selling a 2015 GT Premium PP.

Always wanted a Shelby. Aside from the look and power, they are 2 different cars.
I miss the more comfy ride, general handling and creature features.

I think the same thing happened in 2008/9. The 09’s I recall they built less than the were planning to.

modest discounts of 7 grand on left overs. 2020s are 5k off. Should be priced lower.

Well, realistically, it's a GT with a couple of badges, a special color, artificial engine sound, a limited electronics selection, and 20 HP that you won't see if you never drive over 140 mph. After the initial euphoria of the introduction, it's likely that they built so many of them that bulk of the market for them was satisfied. Having reached that point, they now have to discount them to attract people who may be more interested in a GT that could be better equipped.
