MattInDetroit Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Ok, update! Yes, they didn't mean not to have a reserve. Only their third ebay listing. Seemed like a nice enough guy and as they say, what goes around comes around, so I have agreed to mutually cancel the deal. No reason to get any bad Karma! He's sending me some stuff we talked about as thanks and all ends well. It was worth it just to see me win it for 30K! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 My guess is a salesman gets fired. Mike, you hiring? I'm pretty sure I know of a salesman needing a job! Heck NO. anyone can lose money i need someone to MAKE money michael morris the bad thing about all this is that now someone will say "look these cars are selling on ebay for 30k" if you didnt know it was a screw up this could set the market on these cars. it happens the other way all the time. some guy has a friend run up a bid. then everyone say hey the GT500s are bringing 90k just something to think about michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFBLUE Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Ok I feel better now. I was kicking myself for not bidding. I don't like black, but at that price I could learn to love it. That was very nice of you Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A short while ago I bid 20K at the last minute on a GT500 on Ebay. I was surprized to get an email from Ebay congratulating me on being the successful bidder. As it turned out it was an over invoice bid. I immediatly emailed the seller explaining what happened and he showed his class by allowing me to retract my bid. Your right, what goes around comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamRide Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Why were they calling it a GT350? :blink: They also state: They begin with a pair of silver Le Mans racing stripes painted over black. Mine aren't painted................ :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Lets hope the dealer remembers this the next time he is asking ridiculous ADM's or bashing customers. They arent all bad. Just as all dealers arent all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that dealer is sending you something nice ! :D BUT..on the other hand, I was looking forward to you having TWO cars..so when I made those trips to Chicago, you could have let me used one !!

I thought top speeed was limited to around 130 robin Ive had mine to 140 by the speedometer and I think there was a little more there but it was not limited by anything other than horespower.

North Shelby_merged Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Okay, Matt...tell the truth...are you NOW getting a 2008 GT500 at "sticker?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInDetroit Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Okay, Matt...tell the truth...are you NOW getting a 2008 GT500 at "sticker?" LOL...if I could get the KR or 40th Anniversary package I would! After have sat next to them side by side so much lately at the car shows I really like our car better looks wise and a lot of people say that. The GT500 looks BIG and sits really high. I really wasn't at all jealous other than the supercharger honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yea the 154 MPH is for a srock GT with stock gearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbydream1 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Not saying! But you are right it will go over 30K, maybe a lot more, but I have set the bar pretty well so unless someone REALLY wants it, I'm on a mission! Besides, how can you put a price on being able to bitch X2! :D Or figure out a second license plate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wasn't at all jealous other than the supercharger honestly. Ok-I'm not the only one that thought that then. I also think the black molding along the bottom edge of the GT500 that is supposed to make the car look leaner and more raked actually looks cheap. And +1, the supercharger would be nice, but I'd be more likely to get in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
