LONESTARFORDINC Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 There appears to be 31 unique GT 500s on ebaY, 24 of the coupes, 7 convertibles. 8 units are still in transit. Which means only 23 are for immediate delivery (on ebaY). While a lot of dealers do not post there GT 500s on ebaY, there is a connection between the volume of sales and production. We have 4 more GT500s allocated this year. The next 2 are convertibles, but we a considering changing them to coupes. The first 2 "stock units" came in pretty fast, but the last 4 have not been scheduled. Ford OPC has mentioned there was a "Quality Assurance" hold on all GT 500s, but I think it was due to the Wixom Facility being idled. Could Ford "stall" production to keep the "Demand" high?

Is it still idled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMO-GT500 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Could Ford "stall" production to keep the "Demand" high? ...I don't quite see where you are going with this post, but since Ford itself does not benefit from high adms, and can probably sell out their entire run of shelbies regardless of any artificial demand, I can't believe that this has or will occur. It certainly does not fit in with their moving forward way of business they are claiming to embrace. Also, talking to various dealers, I don't believe that ford the company loves their dealers enough to do something like this. From what I hear, it may be exactly the opposite - the company does not take the dealers into account enough. There certainly was quite a bit of bitterness expressed by some of the dealers I know. At the production rate I am hearing, around 50 per day, if they delay any they will not be able to reach their target of close to 9 - 10K units per year. This would leave everyone unhappy.

Joker45 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I also have been keeping an eye on Ebay etc. and prices seem to be falling to me. Alot of unbought cars and reserves not met. Also with 20 some cars on ebay I would not call that a shortage especially if they are not selling at the given price point. I am starting to think that the craziness is coming to an end.

5.4 Shelby Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I just searched completed listings on ebay. I found 51 cars that completed ( I ruled out the ones that were ended early because the car was no longer avail). only 17 of them sold for an average of 16.5 over sticker. Range was 10-25 over. only one was 25 over and 5 were 20 or above. Most common was 14 over. I used the "rough estimate" sticker price of $45k and $49k for verts. Of the 34 that did not sell, 6 were less than 10k over and were not removed because the item had sold. What I get from this is that a few people are still falling for the "sky is falling and you better overpay for this car" hype. The rest are wising up and waiting for the market to crash.

Joe G Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 While a lot of dealers do not post there GT 500s on ebaY, there is a connection between the volume of sales and production. Ford OPC has mentioned there was a "Quality Assurance" hold on all GT 500s, but I think it was due to the Wixom Facility being idled. Could Ford "stall" production to keep the "Demand" high? Holy ! Why didn't you say this before!! Raise the prices, raise the prices!! Hurry, before someone accidentially pays too little for these obviously underpriced cars!! Damn, I need a quicker way to tap my 401k account... buy, buy, buy!! I can't miss out!! Take the hint...

BadTony Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 who cares what prices on ebay are anyway? means completely nothing to me and should mean nothing to you unless you plan on buying a Shelby from some ADM hungry dealer.

RUFDRAFT Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ebay is only good for finding parts for your Studebaker. We're talking Ford Mustangs here, people, not Enzo's. Trust no one on EbaY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust no one on EbaY. I disagree... eBay is generally a good gauge of current market prices, but only when you can find items that have actually sold. Seeing closed auctions with no bids or reserves not met doesn't really do anyone any good, but when you have actual selling prices you can make some inferences. probably more applicable to older cars than new models, tho.

BadTony Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 from another post , I think I remember someone saying that something like 60ish ebay (legitimate) auctions have been completed so far and 39 current open auctions. With those numbers, that only equates to about 1% of all Shelbys to be built (if 9000ish is still accurate) and sold for this model year. Having said that, how can anyone say that ebay is a more effective market indicator than actual prices people are paying at dealerships? A heck of alot more Shelbys have already been delivered to dealers & new owners than ebay auctions complete & cars delivered as a result of that method of purchasing.

Seeing closed auctions with no bids or reserves not met doesn't really do anyone any good, but when you have actual selling prices you can make some inferences. probably more applicable to older cars than new models, tho. Not true. eBay is a good gauge of the inflated market...an eBay market. Typically, you can find some of these big ticket items for cheaper at other venues. "eBay fever" makes many people pay more for items on ebay than they could buy them for at their local market. I know when I want to get top dollar for a popular item, I put it on ebay. So if there was a price range, eBay would be at the top. More scare tatic's....if you notice yours and other auction are bringing no where near reserve or buy it now prices....sounds like someone is trying to jack up prices.... I agree. There is no shortage and I don't believe there will be. Lonestar - you cant blame people for questioning your motives here. Nice try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropping__Chronic Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 RUN, don't WALK to Lonestar Ford and buy a GT500 for whatever they are asking. Yes, the sky is indeed falling, no offer should be refused!!! If they say 20k over, you say 40k over. This will ensure you get this car before they are all gone.

jrichard Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 What a pathetic thread LONESTARFORDINC started. Intentional shortage created by Ford? And for what purpose? So many dealers wonder why so many don't trust them. This is nothing but hype from Lonestar and is further evidence that the frenzy is dying down. If it weren't, we wouldn't see dumb threads like this one...Lonestar would be too busy selling cars to post such drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc1999 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I am new here so, I have no idea what the issues are that everyone seems ot have with Lonestar, but I have been watching E-bay for months now trying to get a idea where the market is. I have also called more than a dozen dealers in a 200 mile radius of me and have yet to be able to order an allocated car for the 5k over that I was offering. I found one dealer that took 8k over sticker for his 2 and said he wished had never done it since they seem to bringing more in the area of 15k over on average from the other dealers he had talked to. I hope there areplenty of them to go around in future, I would love to get one but sticker is all I really want to have to pay, but I am willing to go a little over to make sure I get one. Did anyone see the guys selling there SVT special cobra lease options on the new GT500. It said on the E-bay add that there was a cobra lease option on the old style Cobras that somehow guarateed them an allocation for the new Shelby GT500?

Those who participated in the Power Lease program in 2003 are guaranteed a Shelby GT500 this year. Search this board for "Power Lease" and you'll find all kinds of info.

PhantomAce Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 um...how many Beanie babies are we talkin' about? If beanie babies don't work, I have some old baseball cards I'll trade you. Hate baseball anyway, don't know why I ever collected the damn cards in the 1st place. Football is the only real sport, except when my team loses, like they did last night... Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
