goesfast Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 As I said a few months ago, prices would fall below MSRP because the true Mustang enthusiasts would lead dealers to believe they had a hot item worthy of ADM's. Now the dealers have to convince the general public that the Shelby GT commands a much higher premium than a regular GT, and they're not having an easy time of it. That's why the prices are falling now. Regular customers are not convinced that the value is there, because they're not enthusiasts. I've seen dealers on Ebay advertise the Shelby GT as "extremely rare", which it is not. Rare to the dealer, but not to overall availability which is driving the price down. You see, Ford dealers play a "desire" game with the public and it usually works-for a while. Just ask anyone who bought a Cobra R, 2003-2004 SVT Cobra what these cars are worth today, and the same will follow with the current GT500's if not already. The Shelby GT is a fine car and one that is more likely to be driven than most other special editions. At least they'll see some road use, which is what they were meant for. Enjoy 'em!

SWEDESHELBY1 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Not to be a know-it-all or I told you so kind of person but my brother is a General Manager of a Ford Dealer in the Pacific Northwest. He said these dealers will do anything to attract business even say they lost money on a car just to attract people. It looks like they did their job! That being said, they never sold the Shelby GT at that price or anything close it. Furthermore the Ford Dealer is only alotted 2 per dealer, 1-5 speed and 1-automatic so it is a rare car and one that is desired by all Mustang and car enthusist.

oilman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 IMO I think that the GT500's vastly over MSRP pricing paniced alot of us to believing that the SGT would be equally as hot and we better act fast to insure that we get one. What alot of car people are saying is that they didn't seperate this car enough from a GT, that is, HP, to warrant $9000 added cost, and they are waiting for the GT500 prices to come in line, which they will when the 08' comes out, or Shelby to offer something more than 25 HP over the GT, which they probably will. Fundriver has it right, this is a car to drive, and not worry about it's future value. I'll probably keep it afew years and sell it when something else "hotter" comes on the market, but I'll always be able to say "I owned a Shelby", Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that you have alot of knowledge of these cars. So since MOST all dealers really believe that they can no longer order the cars after their 2 car alotment, how many do you think will be built ? I personally do not think it will get to 6000 cars and my brother does not think so either. Any comments? This should add to the slogan of being a rare car and being very truthful about it.

Thanks for the reply and added comments. what will happen if ford doesnt get the orders from the dealers that the expect, the zone mgrs will start calling the dealers and ask them to take one or 2 more. if ford and SAI have an agreement about a certain number of cars then ford will send them that many mustangs. to honest i have no idea the number that they agreed on. thanks michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they lowered it to 6,000 cars maximum to maintain its exclusiveness. That was the actual number agreed on per Ford Motor Co & Shelby & every post and all information I have ever seen here or during my whole time researching and buying this car.

AFBLUE Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Even if it did sell for $36,950, the dealer still made a small profit.

AFBLUE Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 In case you missed it in the other thread, here's one on ebay with a buy it now price of $37,500. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-FORD-M...1QQcmdZViewItem I'm guessing this is a $600 profit for the dealer based on the following assumptions: Invoice for Premium GT ~$25,942 Invoice for Upfitters package ~$1862 Invoice for Sirius system ~$170 Invoice for IUP: $400 Invoice for active anti theft ~$283 Total Invoice ~$28,657 Total MSRP: ~$30,720 Destination: $745 Shelby upgrade and Gas Tax $8390 = Total invoice: $37,792 = Total MSRP: $39110 MSRP-invoice = $1318 + ~$900 holdback = $3218 profit if sold at MSRP Dealer cost = invoice - holdback or $36,892 So $37,500 - $36892 = $608 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEDESHELBY1 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Even if it did sell for $36,950, the dealer still made around a $1300-1400 profit. If you see the Ford Sticker, add $8390 for shelby additions and GGT. [/quote You add $2140 for the upfitters package then $8390 for Shelby to install the options. I have never seen a SGT for the advertised $36,900 base price. But customers always add their personal stuff and it comes in around $40K. Mine was over 41K but I negotiated a $500 discount off MSRP and I felt I got a great deal! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore the Ford Dealer is only alotted 2 per dealer, 1-5 speed and 1-automatic so it is a rare car and one that is desired by all Mustang and car enthusist. Like I said, rare to the dealer, NOT to the general public. Why else can they be had at less than MSRP? True rare cars command a high price based on availability. There are plenty of them for sale and most people do not understand how different they really are from the regular GT. They look at the upcharge and scoff at it , then leave it on the showroom floor. It may be desired by many so-called Mustang enthusiasts, but not enough to scoop up every last one that is for sale. I think the Shelby GT is the finest, most unique Mustang ever produced by Ford/Shelby and is truely different from all others they've offered (up until now). And anyone who has one has a unique Mustang. One that you would drive and be proud of and rightfully so. Ford is in the sales game and they know how to play it well. They'll come out with something in the future that will make most previous models fade away to a degree. Just think of what's potentially to come-Boss 302, Bullitt, Mach1, GT350, etc. The game will start all over again. Rare has many different definitions obviously, but to me, it means you can't get one or is very hard to get and commands a higher price than asked for. Ford is feeding on the emotional attachment associated with the 60's-70's, which by the way, will not be repeated with regards to future values. The Shelby GT was meant to be enjoyed. Create some memories with this fine car and drive 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
