Michael Morris Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 guy call for another ford dealer. i answer the phone to see if i can help him. he asks and i quote " you are showing to black KNOCK OFF shelbys and ask if i would work with him if he could sell one" i of course tell him i have both of the cars hes looking for and that if he aint careful he could really piss off someone by calling them KNOCK OFF shelbys. i didnt get into a fight with him or call him any names, but this is what im talking about when i say uneducated. we need to go to the other forum with that frame of mind. that we are there as educators. im thinking the guy will never sell a SGT because he has NO idea what hes selling. you have to have some passions to sell a car NO one knows about michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby-Don Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 hopefully that was just an uninformed salesman and not the sales manager ! someone should reach through the phone and slap him !

Sounds to me that is what he really needs. Be a nice guy and "let him have it" for $35K... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people who paid HUGE money for their GT500's are NOT going to lay down quietly, they want blood because their Shelby was NOT made at SAI but made at Ford and they know it now. SAI went through the same process with the GT-H manufacturing as they did with the SGT manufacturing, except the hood, so is that a "knock-off" too? They are just p*ssed off and there site shows it. Sorry but it's not going to be "reeducating" them it is going to be an argument right from the gate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but it's not going to be "reeducating" them it is going to be an argument right from the gate! if you were UNLUCKY enough to read some of my early posts most all of them were me DEFENDING ADMs. i still dont see a problem with them, but this has been debated until even im tired of debating it. i will debate anyone about the diff between a SGT and a GT500. if someone will give me an intelligent argument why one is better i will try to give them the same intelligent arguement back. just remember if someone starts that debate HOLD FAST HELP IS ON THE WAY. im the first to say i dont think one is better than the other. i think they are different for different folks. yes i think some will be upset that they paid a ADM, but some of the early SGTs were sold with ADMs. i dont believe that they will let it get out of hand over there so lets just ride it til it bucks us. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy give me some VINS i will find them for you. i just need last 6. i know people who know people. did you see on the dealer message board where the guy ask for a offer on his GT500. i told him MSRP and he got mad. said he had 8k offered. then other told him he was crazy. then the orginal goes into a triad about how WE dont know how to sell cars and that these car are selling for 10k over and so on. then some one asked him why he didnt just retail it? he said he would but though he would let other have it since it was just ordered. man these guys kill me. they love to brag about what they CAN do, but never seem to be able to do it in real life. get me those numbers and ill find the cars. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT/SC2873 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 had a great time today...beautiful weather and beautiful cars! I know what you mean ...some don't have a clue when it comes to respecting someone else's car....right or wrong. I was hoping there would be a "show" in Perry...hint..... think they said 100 cars/trucks today....of course we were in the Shelby '93 and newer class.....they did split the class cobras and shelbys due to the number of cars.....i was shocked w/ a 1st place! 2 weeks, 2 shows and 2 wins...but most of met a bunch of super people!!
