The Down and Dirty ADM Thread

[Hurricane]

You guys are so much more considerate of your significant others opinion than I am.

In my experience with marriage (10 years this fall to the same woman), it is a partnership. Yes, I have my money and she has her money, but we're still a married couple. Did she say anything when I bought a new $1,000 laptop a few months ago? Not a word. A $60,000 car is another story though.

That being said, if I came home tonight with a GT350 and a new $800/month car payment, I'm sure she wouldn't divorce me, but I'd wager that things would be more tense in our relationship for a little while.

I would be happier than a pig in slop if things work out that way. Spring 2017 is my target window for getting a GT350 if I can come to a concrete decision about buying one. I would want to put at least $10k down on it, but doing so means that I would have to come to a complete stop on all mods/upgrades for my GT. For example, a set of new wheels and tires would be around $2k alone, which is a big chunk of change. I really need to decide quickly if my ultimate goal is to A) buy a GT350 or B) add a supercharger to my GT.

If your budget is that tight, your ultimate goal should be to buy a piece of income property and not a depreciating asset like an additional car, as cool as this thing is. JMO obviously.

Because of the cost, I had a conversation with my wife.
it was about 5 minutes, she asked one or two questions,
that was it. I am lucky she loves the Mustang and all the fun we have it.
This car she fell in love the day it arrived. Our 2nd drive, about an hour out,
I thought I would turn the radio on for her, 1-2 minutes later she turned it off.
Cars sound to good to listen to radio was her response.
Now you gotta love that

Ouch....some of these dealers are brutal. Been trying find a dealer willing to let me order MY17 GT350 and they're all asking 15k-24k over. Ouch.

sigh...the search continues

For an R or regular GT350? From my research I actually think WA is just as bad or worse than CA.

But, we have already seen postings at $5K over in other regions:

I'm just looking for a GT350 - not an R (although I would be super tempted at the right oppty). I found one who quoted me 15k ADM another wants 24k for a non-r! Mind blowing. Told me They're buying other dealers' allocations and reselling them. ugh.....I want to rage, but wont for fear of burning a bridge.

What are you looking for? My dealer has a couple inbound that I bet are much cheaper than that.

I really want a Ruby Red with black roof and convenience package. Been drooling over those since they released the 2017 pics

Badger,

Sent you a PM. I may have good news for you.

 

[Mustang_2015]

so did she buy that argument?

Yes! My dad's past helped me learn, he had 4, yes 4 boss 429 mustang that he sold for 10-15k each back in the 70's.

We saw one sell for 250k and one for 450k on barret jackson lol

Wives - love the comments. My wife was not happy at all when I ordered my Raptor in late 2010. Now she loves that truck more than I do - and I REALLY love it. When I told her it was time for the GT350, she was helping me contact dealers. For the MY16's, the ADM's we were quoted ranged from 10k to 25K for just a 350, not an R. Because of another member here on the forum, I have now ordered a MY17 with an ADM of $2,500. I, and my wife, can both live with that.

And holy hell have the Raptor's held their value. As much as ADMs are painful the Raptor is a pretty good example of how buying a rare vehicle can really mitigate typical depreciation.
