The Down and Dirty ADM Thread

[Mustang_Scotty]

I would not be using paypal to make a 60k+ purchase =), nor would I allow it if I was a seller.

You can't. Only deposit through PayPal. And PayPal and eBay has coverages for cars also. Have done it several times.

I found a car using eBay. I contacted the dealer direct and paid them direct. They ended the auction and neither party had to pay any "final" eBay fees. I'm sure the dealer had to pay the $50 insertion fee though.

I live in Oregon, called 35-40 dealers last week within 1500 miles of me. Nothing I found was available at msrp, ended up with a gt350 ow no stripes, tech package, for 6,400 over sticker. Picked it up Friday. Best price I found was in Oklahoma, all black no stripe, tech pkg for 5k over but it would have cost me 1400 to have it shipped, think it sold on Saturday.

Heard there's one in Bend for $5k adm. But that was couple weeks ago. Have u tried them? I'm in PDX with TP eta mid to late Feb.

Just got a call from a local Portland, Oregon dealer. Two open allocations asking $10 ADM. Crazy if you ask me, but if you want to haggle with them I'll pass along the number for the guy I've been dealing with.

I locked in an out of state deal... playing the waiting game.

That's the one I bought for 6400 over, they wouldn't take 5k I tried and even left the dealer after they refused.

GT350 $90k over MSRP?

https://www.yahoo.com/autos/ford-shelby-gt350-mustang-price-gouging-hits-161205492.html

Like the sun rising in the east and Taylor Swift singing breakup songs, so too does life’s certainties include car dealers trying to squeeze huge profits off hot models. The latest example: the Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, which has spawned a level of price gouging not seen since the heyday of the Hellcat.

Built as the top performer in the Mustang line (for now) the GT350 and its 526-hp V-8 is a glorious machine well worth some drooling. At a base price of $48,000 for the GT350 or $61,000 for the track-prepped GT350R, the amount of performance and enjoyment comes close to vehicles at twice the price—which is one reason why a couple of dealers are asking for more than twice as much.

Van Bortel Ford in East Rochester, N.Y., (slogan: “There’s Nothing We Won’t Do For You!”) has a 2015 Shelby GT350 ready to roll for the no-haggle price of $149,500. Strangely, the sticker for the car isn’t posted, but similar models suggest the “market adjustment” here is at least $90,000. That dealer justifies its price in part on rarity, as Ford only built 137 Shelby GT350s and 350Rs for 2015.

Gouging on the more readily available 2016 model hasn’t hit that peak yet, but there’s still at least three dealers trying to sell GT350s for more than $100,000, almost double their true sticker price, and several more in the $90,000 range. (We’re going to ignore the seller trying to unload a GT350R on Hemmings for $175,000 because they don’t even have the car yet; Powerball tickets have a better chance of paying off.)

Basic economic theory would say that the market will eventually settle on the price it will bear, and these dealers do have one data point on their side. Last week, Mecum Auctions sold a brand-new, never titled 2015 Shelby GT350 non-R edition for $115,000. Officially, Ford and other automakers discourage these kind of markups—but as 40 years of history from Datsuns to Dodge Hellcats shows, dealers are gonna deal.

They can ask, but that does not mean that anyone will pay it.

Only $149,500...

Does that include a full tank of premium gas??


:lol:

You wish. It does include a 16 F150 Platinum though.

In my area. I've seen this car when I was researching for GT350s. I laughed. Don't know what the dealer is thinking

Very beautiful and very capable car.
But,..........over 100K for a S550 GT350?!?!

 

[LETHAL]

They have the nerve to mention the base prices...

 

[Rick R]

It's good that it's a no-haggle price. Saves you the trouble of having to go through the motions to bring it down from $155k

Worth every penny - and that's why customers are lining up to pay it.

Personally I feel more comfortable paying MSRP - but the car is without a doubt in the $100k+ class of performance (beyond that really).

I guess I should have worded it differently. I agree with you.
I'm saying the mark-up is outrageous, considering what Ford made the MSRP for. Very capable car that can beat cars that MSRP way more.
