ShelbyDude Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Two of my friends are supervisors at Ford. Apparently, today Ford anounced A-Plan and Family pricing on the Shelby GT500. Good news for some looking to buy. Ford hasn't announced anything about that to the dealers yet, and so far Ford's system shows no plan pricing is available. Are you sure they are not talking about the Shelby GT? That you can get plan pricing on. The GT500 still shows 0 programs. Also, even if Ford was to honor plan pricing you still have to find a dealer that would honor it and be willing to sell theirs under that program. I doubt many, if any at all, will sell them for that. Why would a dealer give up $3500 - $4000 profit just to make a few hundred bucks? Also, none of the invoices on the GT500 have any plan pricing listed on them. And is this suppose to be on the left over 07's or 08's or both?

enormous Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Since it was anounced only a few hour ago, I don't think news travels coast to coast in a few hours. This announcement was sent to Canadian Ford supervisors. I don't know about the US application. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyDude Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Since it was anounced only a few hour ago, I don't think news travels coast to coast in a few hours. This announcement was sent to Canadian Ford supervisors. I don't know about the US application. Time will tell. If or when Ford announces anything they post it on the dealer forum. So far nothing has been announced and Ford's vincent system which is what has to be used to verify any incentives does not show anything. Plan pricing is still excluded on GT500. How many GT500's were sent to Canada? I didn't think they got but a few hundred? Seems odd they would put anything on that low of a production. Also seems odd they would put anything on the GT500 here in the US with only about 1200 cars left to be sold in the entire country. Especially when dealers are still selling them at MSRP or above. As of Aug 4th there were only 99 2007's left and 1254 2008's left out of approx 19K - 20K cars made. I haven't seen any dealers crying how they can't sell the ones they have left, especially with the amount of mark up they have to offer discounts on them if they really wanted to sell them fast. If dealers offered them at $1000 over invoice they would make more than what they could selling them on any plan sales. If they do offer this that will be good for any buyers if they could find a dealer that would let one go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know - dreamer Don't worry about the out of pocket stuff. Take advantage of the company you work for and them pick up the monthly cost. You agree to use the GT500 for PROMOTIONAL purposes. You'll ADVERTISE their brand by say....added a nice windshield banner, adding all their products made for the GT500....all for the low low cost of say....$1,000 month??? LOL Hey, that would be CHEAP advertising for them. You get a nice ride, plus some gas money left over, and everyone wins!!! :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyDude Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 So he will wait and get a better deal?????????????? Oh yeah! You know if they offer plan pricing then that means they will offer rebates soon. So keep waiting. Then they will have plan pricing plus rebates plus zero percent. So keep waiting. Dealers will get more motivated and discount them below plan pricing. Keep waiting. When they hit $5k below plan pricing minus $5K rebates at 0% then that will be the time to just start thinking about it. It will happen I just know it! You wait and see. Remember this because if you wait you will thank me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
