Believe me I will.

I am actually getting pretty frustrated not getting this done after having to spend so much time. But eventually I'll get what I want.
I actually tried to help you, laid in your lap what you said you wanted. Not so much as a "thank you". Seriously dude? I just hope you weren't a complete jerkoff to the dealer, who is one of the good guys that doesn't price anything above MSRP.

Check your pm. I apologize for missing this, thanks for helping out.

Grabber blue IMO is a sexier color, reminds of the Porsche GT3RS 4.0, very exotic looking. If i could have ordered and custom built mine, it would have been white or grabber blue, with black and red also taking heavy consideration.

But seriously though, just go get the car. You have to just man the F up and buy something if you really are genuine. You are not going to find a perfect example that also fits your VERY particular wants.

Get over it, accept it, buy it, drive it, enjoy it. Simple.

Thanks I have 2 race red deals, both at MSRP. I am very close!

Unfortunately (or fortunately) a dealer with a leftover R is trying to convince me for 10k over. If I get them down to 5k or even less, maybe I'll go with that.

This particular car had an issue with paint and required paint correction at a body shop. Otherwise would have happened.

I bought mine at 5K over, but am very fortunate that a fellow forum member lined me up with the dealer. After driving it, 10-15K over is 100% worth it IMO. Everyone is caught up in the whole "ADM" thing, but in reality, if someone was told that the MSRP was 10-15K higher than it really is, the same amount as a typical ADM, and that person drove the car, I guarantee you they would say the price is justified. Jump on it, it is a chance to own a very limited, very special piece of history.

I love race red and grabber blue, but that blue in my mind just goes perfectly with the idea of very high revving exotic sports car. I guess my love for Porsche has ruined my mind, because that is all I can associate with when I see that colol :D

Either color is great, but the car could be turd brown and you will forget about it once you are behind the wheel, its that good.

You are completely right. If the car was priced at 74k base instead of 54k. I'm sure I would buy one.

Its just that I have a mental problem with paying markups. Its not a question of affordability, its more of a question of ethics.

If you look at the life of a car, beginning from its inception at the desk of a designer to engine design, wind tunnel, track test, production, etc. the role of a car dealer is probably the most miniscule and insignificant one. They litterally do nothing all day long and make a ton of money (COMPERATIVELY SPEAKING with respect to the manufacturer). As a result, in my view, they are just milking this and making literally free money on the side.

If the markup was charged by Ford, honest to god, I would have absolutely no problem paying it. Thats why as I said if the car was 20k higher priced by ford, I would still buy it. My problem is the dealer literally taking advantage of Ford's hard work.

Hope that makes sense.
