captdave Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 If in your travels you find a great deal on a 2008 GT500 leftover post it here. Only MSRP or less. If you buy a 2008/9 GT500 for MSRP or less post it here also. Lets really see what deals are out there for the new buyers. Who can claim the title of "Buyer of the Year" with the most below MSRP. And the Grand Prize, be the first one to pay invoice. The Grand Prize may take a little time, but it's out there. Good luck and good hunting.

Ford blue blood Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Got mine ordered atMSRP, while waiting the dealer was asked by a gentleman if he would sell my car to him for 5 over.....don't seam to be any more allocations left in the Birmingham area.....I was offered 5 over before my car got here by this guy, told him no but if he really wanted one Jimmy could get him one...just a matter of how much. Seams like it has become a waiting game. Dealers not on the floor plan can wait and hold to sticker or above, I chose not to wait like I did with the 03 and couldn't be happier mostly because I got exactly what I wanted! And if you look at it from strictly a pleasure thing a couple of G's is chump change in the big picture of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to put your money where your mouth is, although I know you will likely come up with some excuse! But here goes! Since 09 is a go we will likely get at least one. So put up your deposit and pick your color and options. The 09 order guide has been posted. The 09 won't begin production until first part of June so the absolute SOONEST that you could possibly see this would be July sometime. It could also be sometime in 09 before you actually see it. It all depends on when Ford will pull our allocation to have ours ordered and built. So anytime from July 08 through the end of the 09 production up to 6 weeks after that is when you would get the car. Put up your $2,500 deposit and you can order it your way! MSRP is the price! OK, Dave....now what??? We are all So what you going to do Dave? Here is your chance to order the BEST YEAR EVER exactly the way you want it for only MSRP!!! BTW, Dave....I noticed you stated in a past post that you hoped it was red with white stripes that it was the fastest color? So I assume you choice would be red with white stripes? Good news Dave....if you wait it out for a left over 08 there is currently a whopping 240 red with white stripes left that are 08's in the entire country! And red is one of the most popular colors made along with white cars! I wonder how many of those 240 will be left after production ends on the 08? Of course, that includes all red with white stripe coupes with all combination of options and both dark charcoal and red insert color cars! So take out any of those that might have options you wouldn't want and would refuse to pay for! So what color combo would be your choice and what options would you not want???

ShelbyDude Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 if the dealers will take msrp now how low do you think they will go in the summer? Probably go higher. Summer is prime season for selling cars like this. And don't confuse a very small number of dealers willing to take MSRP with ALL dealers willing to go MSRP now. MOST dealers are still well over MSRP and are standing firm at certain amounts over. If they won't take MSRP now and wouldn't take it during the winter months when that is the slowest selling season for a car like this, what makes you think it will get better in summer? MAYBE you will see more willing to take MSRP next winter, but that is another year before being able to get one and a big maybe! If you can lock one down at MSRP now this is the best time to jump. You can't steal in slow motion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax1228 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 We have a dealership in the Twin Cities holding out for 60K on a 2008 Red/White stripe vert.

Aussie67 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have been watching several dealers in Toronto general area and it appears that there really are a lot of GT 500's sitting in stock currently. I was also in Northern Michigan last week and saw a vert anc coupe at a dealers yard all which have been at MSRP. I figure if they are advertising MSRP then with a little haggling you are sure to pick up under MSRP. One dealer in Toronto area had 5 in stock. I think the dealers days of making mega bucks on these are over. Let's face it even Amy said they made far to many 2008's............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastfords Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Due to the theft of my 08' I have been talking to local dealers and getting price quotes to use in settlement talks with the insurance company. Dealers are still anywhere from 5-20k over and used cars are anywhere from $48,500-57,000. I admit in some areas prices may not be that strong. Bear in mind that the weather here has little effect as most days are sunny and dry so car can be used very often. Not all local dealers have cars in stock and some have as many as 5. It does not seem like they are dying to unload them. The whole thing brings back bad memories of when I was shopping for my car back in June of 07'. I have pretty much decided against buying another and am seriously looking into a 08' C6 Z06. Flame away if you will but please remember I am a lifelong blue oval supporter.

I know it can be Frustrating but the approach I used was take nothing personal and tried to make as many contacts as possible and it paid off. Sorry your car was Jacked I know it sucks but I would advise trying hard again for another GT500 if you think you might regret not getting another one later. Good Luck fastfords.

mach1fever Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Shelbydude you are right. But those cars aren't moving unless they are right at msrp. One of my close dealer relations offered me their last 08 allocation at msrp, but I respectfully denied for now. It is in my interest to get the best deal possible right now, so I am waiting it out. I hope I made the right decision. (I think I did). Capt. Dave if msrp was your price take up shelbydude on it. He's a stand up dealer. True to his word.

I think you are right but the MSRP is still higher here in Canada than the US, therefore even though they are offering what seems like a better deal it is still higher than the US. Comparing the cars in Toronto area to what I saw in Michigan a couple of weeks ago and comparing exchange rates, you are still muuuuuuuuch better off to buy in the US. SUCKS.......................... But I guess around the 60K mark is much better than 78K for a coupe 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Morris Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Called a small dealer West of me Saturday. We had got a Mustang GT from them and they said they had a GT500. So I called thinking them being a small dealer that they would let me have it cheap. MSRP or back to another dealer. I asked if he wanted to WHOLESALE the car. He said NO WAY NO HOW. Then said that he KNEW the car would bring 9K over MSRP. I told him good luck and I moved on. So some folks still think the are bringing big ADMs. Good luck on everyone quest for the BEST deal. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesan Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Senator Ford in Sacramento will sell their 08 white/blue (nav, prem, Sirius, ambient lighting) at MSRP. Ask for Tim Creedon in the Fleet Dept. He's the only one who can sell at that price. (916) 391-3000 Ext 855. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie67 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 do you pay any extra tax bringing it back to Canada? I can't answer that 100%, but I do not believe so, however you will need to ensure that a couple of things meet Canadian standards: Speedo in Km calibration Inspection and compliance inspection Maybe others but I don't think so. But all in all it is very small dollars, You would need to check on import duties regs before you went ahead, but even in my short time I have talked to many people buying cars Sth of the border and bringing them in without to much difficulty.

Dad's72Mach Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Listed price has nothing to do with what a dealer will take when you say " I'll pickup in 1 hour ". Point taken, unfortunately for me it would be 'Ill have it shipped tomorrow...next week...next month'. That may be an exageration never had a car shipped across country but I can't imagine it's a next day kind of thing. That's part of the frustration, there's no way to know who to start talk talking seriously to. I can't pay the whole wad in cash and I don't want to apply for financing unless I know I can get a reasonable deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
