slamarre Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 All, I am about to make an offer on a 2008 Shelby GT Coupe. The MSRP (Ford sticker) is 30,960 + 745 Destination & Delivery for a total of 31,705$ After that, we need to add the Shelby upgrade : 9,500$ for a new total of 41,205$ Next we add the sales tax of 6% for a new total of 43,677.30$. Then let's add another 500$ for the Title, Tag and Fees for a grand total of roughly 44,000$. I am thinking to propose the sales guy 40K out the door. Is this number realistic? or i just wasting my time? What reasonable offer i should try? My target number here is not over 40K with the amount of cash i will put in. Some advices would be much appreciated. P.S. I am just giving a try. If the dealer does not want to move a penny, i will fall back on the strategy to get a 07 for 4-5K less. However, i really like to have an 08 for the all around air bags, HID and ambient lighting... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyDude Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Good luck! Your $40K offer is $1200 below MSRP. Then you want them to include tax, title & lic in with that??? I guess if they are desperate and willing to sell it for a loss you might get lucky. All they can do is say no, but I think if you could even get it for $40K plus the tax, title & lic you are doing good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 By the way I have a black and white loaded up that I can take about 34K for. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyDude Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Tell me the dealer and I will look up the car for you and tell you the best price. michael morris If they sold it for invoice and net SAI cost it would be just over $40K with tax, and that still doesn't include tax, title and LIC. COST is $37,888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 FYI: 07's include side impact airbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyDude Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 FYI: 07's include side impact airbags. Correct. The side air bags are included as part of the Shelby GT Upfitters Package on the 07 For 08 the side air bags became standard on ALL mustangs.

69dejavue Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Anything below MSRP is a plus. About 3K would bring to invoice and many 2007s have sold for invoice. And remember, White is CLASSIC SHELBY! black, on the other hand, is not a color but rather an absence of color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SGT1188 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Paid 39,300 out the door for my 08.I think my sticker price was a little over 42,000.I would start 38,500 out door because they are going to counter what ever you offer.I called two dealers and the first was 43,000 out door the second 39,300.Called the first dealer back to tell them i found another car and they met the price.I bought it from second dealer because they had the lowest price first.

slamarre Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 All, Got an update. The guy i know there at the dealership offered me 35,131$ + tax, title and fees on a black 07 SGT Coupe. I think if i show up again with a price around 34K, they will accept it. They have also a 08 for 40,670$ but they do not seems to willing to negociate. I may be able to drop the price by no more than 500 to 1,000. The only difference between the 2 are HID and ambien lighting. I am leaning toward the 07 because it is difficult for me to justify a difference of 6,000$ for the car price and around 120$ per month... Am i thinking right on this to get an 07? Again, thanks to all of you who submit advices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHELBYBRO Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I paid 38K for my 08 grabber orange GT. It's funny but the dealer didn't even know that it was signed by Shelby. They are always willing to take a little off the price just to make that sale, then again there are only 300 grabber orange shelbys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just depends on how exclusive you want the car to be to you....there were many more black and whites in 07 than the 08 model....number wise I mean....I'm not sure of exace number of 07 Shelby's built, but 08 is limited to 2300 and 2000 of them will be Vista Blue Only.....not sure on break down on convertible vs. coupe....manual vs. auto....your choice....I like low numbers though...my 08 is #0235 so I'm happy....

Benzito Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Okay, ignoring (if you can) the $6,000 or $7,000 you would save with an 07 and the excuse to drive it home four or five hours from Central Georgia, just ask whether you like black, white, or blue. Easy. If you've got a wife, I can't believe you even get a say in it. You can argue exclusivity either way . . . you got the FIRST year of the SGT or you got the LAST year of the SGT.

Glad I have mine all safe and sound in the garage!! That is everything left remaining. Whether they are in route to SAI, at SAI, enroute to the dealer from SAI, or already sitting at the dealer in stock. That is the TOTAL remaining SGT's to be had. BTW, I have a 2008 Vista Blue Coupe in stock if anyone is interested. It has every available option with Shaker 1000, EXCEPT the IUP. Ford messed up the order and that option didn't get put on the car. It's a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
