Selling my R

[R 350 gt Donson]

Donson, that is a twist on "Smokey/Bandit" that requires some kind of imagination! Or some real good medicinal herb.

You are correct...love the show Smokey and the Bandit, and thought I would put a current twist on the character .....I hope know one was offended....we got half way through filming and the hotel lady (great looking btw..Intercontinental Hotel in Addison Tx) ask me what I was doing, told her and let her read the script and she was less than happy with my (gay references) and wanted her boss to look into it....or as she put it, maybe I should use another Hotel....and the story get longer....

Wow - $83k is a great deal! Someone is lucky!

It's going to go up, I'd guess. Once reserves are met, bidding usually slows till the end.

I was an original owner of a 05 Ford GT and submitted an application. So you are saying that all Ford GTs have been assigned a buyer. I find this hard to believe. But if you have facts then please explain.
From what I've read the process will start in July with email notifications and a waiting list to be developed. So by the end of August the process should be complete. Nobody on the Ford GT forum has been selected so far.

No selections made yet. I spoke with the dealer and my neighbor, a Ford factory driver, just yesterday about the crazy video submission process and was told there were 100 applicants for each and every slot but no decisions would be made until late Sept or October. Not very relevant to me as 485K is slightly outside my auto budget for 2017.

Smokey and the Bandit...... I WAS going to get a custom plate here:

"SPDY CAR" - but thought that would either get my keyed or a ticket...

heh... my personalized plate was approved, then i got a letter today saying... "sorry, that's offensive" .


To go with my black/red snake/devil theme... "Hellby"

the joys of living in a rather conservative, religious state. :headbonk:

Good luck on selling the R car and congrats on the Porsche. Definitely one of my dream cars. Please post photos and your thoughts/opinions on the car after driving it.
Good luck!

I would start vetting those bidders (1 right now) prior to the auction finishing. So many times e-bay ends with a bid that can't be paid.

I put my R on ebay and it already has a bid of 83K and hit my low reserve. :doh:Crap.. I hope it goes higher. Either way some lucky guy (or Gal) is going to get one sweet ride. You can follow the progress at; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustang-GT350R-/201619691115

Lol... You can tell Donson wrote the sales pitch on that eBay ad.

That purple will burn your eyes out...I approve.

I must be missing something. What's wrong with $83k? It's a previously titled car which is considered used even if it had 10 miles.

I think $83k for a car with 1,000 miles is a pretty good take honestly that only MSPRs in the mid 60s. Still almost $20k over MSRP on a used car.

Don't do it man!
You have an amazing and unique car that some of us can only dream of.
Porche will always be but these 350R will stay rare and special forever.
KEEP IT!!!

Come to CA, where they give you auto-generated plates with 666 at the end(yes, they sent me that).

I have thought about this, and is why Im not worried about it...but a MSRP deal on a GT3RS....it will never happen in my lifetime again...right place and right time.... now to part with another 100K :frusty: My daughter ask me, "Daddy, am I still getting a car when I turn 16?" poor kid..... heard me bitching about the extra money..lol..Im wondering if the 'spoiling her' is going to back fire..:shrug:

 

[DrumReaper]

Donson, you can always get another aGT3RS but that girl is irreplaceable.

In my opinion the new generation GT3 and GT3RS is nothing special. They dont have the rawness of old mezger GT3s. They are very easy to drive, and they are "just another fast" car. You smash the pedal, dont even need to touch the pedals and the car will lap and lap and lap fast. I would never give up an R for a GT3 or GT3RS.

From a financial standpoint, I also dont think the last gen GT3/RS will hold their value. There will be more cars like them every 3-4 years with more tech, better RWS, faster PDKS, wider wheelbase, etc. A lot of people mistake that because the old 997.2 cars are so valued, same will happen. It wont. The old car is being valued so well because of its engine, its sound, its hydraulic steering, and lack of bunch of electronics that dull the car.

I think the OP will regret this.
