The Down and Dirty ADM Thread

[m4a1mustang]

Ted Britt and Cowles like to hold onto cars rather then sell them it seems. "Do you want to sell me this car today or not?!! Don't you think after 9 months of failing to sell it, it's time for a reality check?" might work to boot them off their perch.

I guess we'll see who wants to play!

wonder if the dealership owner or GM had a few romps in it.

considering http://www.allamericanspeedway.com/ is next door... Maybe it had a "post-delivery shakedown run".

nice discount. it has 80 mi on it though, wonder if the dealership owner or GM had a few romps in it.

LOL! They "say" it's "New" but I saw that too! Although I called on one car that had 67 miles on it and the Sales Manager said, "What? That car has 6.7 miles on it!" And sent me a pic of the odo...

Put a deposit down on a car at a little over 9% off MSRP, which I felt was fair. Thanks for your input!

GT350

sticker said: base 59,140, options/other $5165, destination $1095, total sticker $65,400

Paid: 58,352 , But....Plus they collected tax, etc so it was a $61,864 I sent.

Then to a 3rd party, I paid $500 for car shipping.

I still am going to have to pay my local dealer to put the chin splitter on still, he said maybe $200

Not sure how I stack against other deals (???), I just got the paperwork in today (paid Dec 23rd, now Jan 17th just getting in the paperwork to take in) , but I am sure I will still have some fees and stuff due when I walk into my local secretary of state

at 11% off MSRP that's one of the winners.

I think it was as close to a fire sale as they come. It was small-town USA and they had only room for like 3 cars inside., I don't think they wanted anything fancy on their lot. They actually had more Polaris stuff in the showroom (ATV, helmets, etc) then cars. I would of never stumbled on them if it wasn't for the internet.

I offered several dealers closer to me the chance to match it with more or less the same sticker cars.....I proved the deal I was getting in writing and while a few came really close, within $1500 or so, none would match it. And,I felt these first guys deserved it, so I stuck with these out of town guys. I was really looking at used 2019 but overall it might of saved me 5k or so. Nothing to sneeze at, but with these high revving motors, I felt better getting mine with 5 miles on it. If it was just say a Taurus, I would of just gone used for sure

This was just a month or so back, when you saw some dealers had 2020 GT350's in stock, so I am sure if it was 6 months earlier then it was, it would of never happened.

Congrats on the new ride! I was actually looking at this unit in December and talked to the dealership. very nice people. I ended up going used, but this was my second choice. You got a good deal.

can you please clarify your statement? "not sure what you mean by said the math the price of mine"

I think he met that “there is another dealer in Indiana that will match the price of mine.” At least that’s what I came up with when I broke out my decoder ring.

Any idea what the current discount is on a 20' GT350 R?

 

[Lorne34]

With Covid you should be able to get a pretty decent deal, at least 6-7k off msrp. The only caveat is the limited production run of the 2020, but I think dealerships are desperate enough not to play that game... especially outside of the larger metropolitan areas such as CA and NY

That was my first thought. I contacted a few dealers and MSRP is what has been quoted and no follow ups from the dealerships in a week.

Keep searching.. not sure how far you want to reach geographically. These dealerships should be willing to concede to below MSRP, even on an R.
Cars.com or Cargurus.com has good search engines for narrowing your list down. Explain that you are ready to purchase (even in the current situation) and give them a number.. then wait to see what they do. You many even want to talk directly with a sales manager vs a sales drone....
