Process for drop ship @ different Ford Dealer?

[Tomster]

To the OP, don't get your hopes up. It can't hurt to ask, but it winds up being nothing more than a hassle for all parties involved. Best of luck with the process.

I'll have to defer to your experience on the delivery/maintenance stuff, but all I can say is that they were very professional ordering my car and handled everything about as perfect as you could hope for considering we did everything over the phone 1000+ miles away and I never set foot in the show room. I would buy a car from them again based on my (one) experience.

probably because they would never be able to sell that car locally. They've had a GT500 non CFTP and a M1 HP car sitting there for better part of 6 months now.

IF you do it, just pray that the vehicle doesn't show up damaged. Because then you are going to have 2 different dealers pointing fingers at each other. I know some won't do it strictly because of that. I was going to be charged $500 for the work from the "receiving" dealer on a different vehicle but chose to fly out and pick it up once delivered instead.

This would be a major concern for me. When my CFTP was delivered, I discovered defects in my CF wing. If it wasn't my dealership, it would have been nothing but problems.

Hi all,

I am getting ready to order a 22 GT500 from an out of state dealer. Does anyone know if you are able to have the car delivered to a different dealer that’s close to you and what the process is? Your help is appreciated in advance!!

It seems audacious to me to buy a Shelby from a dealer and have it shipped to another dealer for processing. Would the second dealer be entitled to part of the profit ??? Is there a fee charged for processing the vehicle at the second dealer.

The fee is whatever the receiving dealer wants to charge. As I mentioned a few posts up, my local dealer was going to charge $500. They had to receive it, prep it and there was still some paperwork involved.

Yep, or you could ship it enclosed with a reputable shipper for about $1 a mile.

Many good points brought up here. If the car ends up damaged, it will be a cluster F getting it all sorted out.

These are not shelbys'. They are Ford Mustangs that Ford pays a great deal of money to use the Shelby name.
