The elephant in the room: ADM

[Tomster]

The carbon fiber track pack is going to cost. The non track pack will be quite reasonable (aside from any ADM).

This subject isn't new nor is it usually productive. ADMs are a fact of life when dealing with a new car that everyone wants.

We can all read the same stuff over and over by stopping by the GT350 ADM thread.

Unless you are a Ford exec or have a controlling interest in a dealership, you are paying ADM. No dealer is going to sell their 1 GT500 at MSRP, period. You are either being lied to or doing the lying. I'm sorry but leaving $10-25k on the table is just bad business.

Lol, im just letting these guys down softly. You guys may not be paying adm but someone with money will. And that dealership is in it to make money, put up their family for a nice vacation making 10/20/30/40k or who knows how much on ADM. People are going to be pissed when their allocation gets given to someone willing to pay adm. Its not just ford doing this either, this happened to people interested in the Dodge Demon.

Just be prepared guys.

If Ford does allocations, there will be ADM because dealers no longer have an incentive to sell quickly. If they know they are only getting a few over the course of a year, they can hold the car for months for that one person who will pay more, or use the car as an attraction to pull "normal" buyers into the lot.

If Ford says there is no limited production, and dealers can get as many as they can sell, then ADM will be reduced since there will be an incentive to sell quickly and simply get another vehicle on the lot.

Therefore, I believe ADM will exist for quite a while. Hopefully some patience will allow ADM to be reduced in a year or two.

Or just do what I did. Brought in a printed “contract”. Stating I’m placing a deposit to buy their first allocation at MSRP at that particular dealer. GM signed it, I signed it, witnessed by my salesman.

Same, except I'm get their second allocation. Which is fine by me because I don't want to take delivery until next spring anyway. Get it in writing and you're fine.

THIS!

There will be an ADM ...

Mustang still sells 2:1 , 3:1 ... this carries to the speciality top cars too

Ford has consistently proven nobody wants a non-ford hi-po muscle car..

Technically, it’s nothing. But meets all the requirements for a binding contract. I mean obviously the stakes are pretty low, but one can only hope they stick to it.

I've never seen so many grown men obsessed with the contents of another man's pockets. Who cares what others are willing to pay or if they are lying. All that matters to me is what I'm paying. And it will be MSRP or bust.

This car will be no different than the GT350 was. MSRP sales are possible for those lucky enough who do the work to find them. I speak from experience. Believe whatever you want.

 

[lightrules]

Just like the GT350R adm threads, only a few people admitted they paid adm, most said they paid MSRP (yea right), and some said they paid invoice. LOL

wanna put your $ where your mouth is?

Where did you buy your gt350, I can find you what you really paid. ;) ;)

This x 2...

The US is a pretty big place. Last time I checked, the INTERNET is a pretty big place. So to say NOT ONE DEALER will sale MSRP on their GT500 is pretty silly. Well I'll just call it what it is, it's BOLLOCKS.

 

[shogun32]

I wont pay 10K ADM either if the MSRP with my specs comes out to over 85K.

Just to stick their finger in GM's eye, the 'base' car at 79,999 would be 2 grand cheaper than the Z06. And the ford equivalent of of 2LT trim at say 85-87k would be delicious.
So, somewhere under 12% premium is your limit. Seems sensible if one were willing to pay it.
