FiaCobra Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm thinking at least 80% of the dealers did the ordering and sold off what they had. Probably 20% of the customers were able to order the car to their liking. *Note*: If you searched and found the car you wanted, or would have ordered it the way it was, that doesn't count. The dealer still was the one who originally ordered it even though it was exactly as you wanted. I was able to order the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I think your going to find that because this was the first year of the Shelby that most were custom ordered. Alot of us that got our cars were on a list . 2cts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Shelby Guy Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I agree with shelby001. It seems that the majority of the people that bought '07 Shelbys had them built to their liking, or at least according to the posts. I think the '08's are a different story though. I'm seeing alot of '08's for sale through dealerships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDYSHELBY Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Iwaited and bought mine on ebay, more about price for me I like about any color so I got the deal I wanted, most have lots of options on them anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB8SNK Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I waited two years for mine. Two conditions, MSRP and ordered my way. Got them both, and doubt I would have found one otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker45 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I ordered it way I wanted it. Every time I placed an order it was the way I wanted it. Just took a few tries before I actually will get one :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiaCobra Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Suprised at the results thus far. There may be something about the model year differences in ordering. All i know is, most guys that i talked to in person did not order the car. They either looked for one out of state to their liking, or took one a dealer had on the showroom floor. The dealer i ordered mine from only had an allotment of 6. 5 out of the 6 allotments were ordered by the salesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I was particular to what I ordered, so I wasn't going to take dealer stock or order, but I just my exact car on ebay, so it would have been a little faster to take stock on hand. I really don't see the difference as long as you get what you want. Also, the numbers my be skewed here since we all had access to all the info and each other. I know it helped me choose my optionsto be asking questions here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srk1959 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Both of mine were dealer stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpracer43 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Ordered mine exactly as I wanted it. Was deployed to Iraq in Feb '06 when the dealers started taking orders. I sent emails to 15 SVT dealers around the Southeast, received one reply... I sent them a deposit, ordered my car via email, never signed a document until I picked it up a year later. Trying to find opportunity for another! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FAFP90 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I ordered, but it hasn't arrived yet - it is supposed to be a mid-January build. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FAFP90 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 A side note -- while waiting for my build, I'vew been looking at the window stickers posted at BON, and most of the Shelbys do not have the optional Shaker, Nav or Sirius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyRookie Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I ordered mine the way I wanted it. I could have bought a GO. with black stripes at MSRP on the spot but I'm partial to red. I paid a premium to be able to order what I wanted. I think it was worth it. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcoll Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I got what I would have ordered for MSRP, and no wait or wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 The dealer had one on order that matched closely with what I wanted - I still had to wait about 3 weeks for delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT-GT500 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I found out about what a GT500 was on a Tuesday night 9/12/07. Walked into the dealership on Friday 9/14 to talk. Made on offer on Saturday 9/15/07. Took the car on the floor. Ebony red package. Loaded with navigation. Perfect. Paid 3000 adm. I love the car. :party2: Drove it home that night.
