A rare Guard colored GT350. The blue stripes clash with the green.
I know that's sarcasm, but seriously, what's with the lights in that place? Or maybe its just the camera on the phone that took the pic.

It is bright in there but I unknowingly had my camera settings set to low light mode thus the crazy over exposure.

2016 GT350 Technology Package Soon to order
I have kept up with most threads, but haven't read through this entire thread, so not sure how many people have posted about something like this.

To an extent, I can see some ADM, in some markets, like 5K over. The excuses of protecting customers or whatever though is bull.

But what really pisses me off and makes me wish I could share with all the world about it and everyone would agree and never buy from a dealership is when they list a car online for MSRP, so you drive to the dealership to see it and it has ADM. And not only does it have ADM, it is 20K over!!!!

So for the few people around NC, I would avoid Capital Ford in Charlotte.

Always call on something like this to make them verify if there is ADM or not. It's obviously a bait ad.

^^^ That's technically false advertisement because MSRP isn't really $83,345.

The "protecting the consumer" refers to the fact that the dealers are required to apply that added tag, showing the ADM, rather than trying to roll it into the MSRP (like that online add that shows an MSRP of over $80,000).

Also, on the shot of the magnetic with blue stripes, is that a Wimbledon White 50th Limited Edition in the background? I wonder if it still has an ADM?
