mastersmech1 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I just ordered another GT. Another local dealer called me back and offered a much lower mark up than my original dealer. He had a price sheet print out and it showed the 54U price at around $2140. He wasn't final on the total price but thought MSRP around $31K - $32K. This seemed low to me, but what else could that 54U price mean? He also acknowledged that their GT 500 mark up was about 3 times what he quoted me on the GT and that he had another unsold one due in soon. The 54U is just an upfitters package. It does nothing to make it a Shelby. It puts on a CS package and 3.55 axle. the MSRP is 31-32k before Shelby does thier magic. The Shelby $ has not been finalized. Think about it aCS is 31-32 MSRP, how are you going to get the CS with a Shelby upgrade that includes FR Power Pack, FR Handling Pack, Badging, etc for the price of a CS? Make an educated, informed decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastersmech1 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 That I do. What a pain, and it is still not all figured out I'm pretty close. I'm locked on MSRP and if I want out, you know someone will pay some ADM and the dealer will make out too. The only variable is WTF is MSRP?

pagerart Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 The 54 U is the code for the uplifters package that puts the shelby stuff on the GT to make it a Shelby. How did you back out of the 1st deal so quick. Are you not putting money down and signing a contract. I advise you do so the 2nd dealer doesn't do what you JUST DID to the 1st dealer. Contracts work both ways, they protect, but they must be tight. Rob. Both dealers took refundable deposits. One dealer will cash the check, the other is just holding it. They were both comfortable that they would find other buyers if I back out. The reality is I have still not driven the car and need an easy out if I am not happy with it. Also, they are assuming the mark up will be justified by the marketplace which may or may not be right so I need room to renegotiate if the ADM is out of line at delivery time. Both dealers are putting the ADM in writing. Has anyone heard from Amy B as to the 54U pricing not being inclusive of the work to be done in Las Vegas?

crispy23c Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 FWIW, guys, I'm just blasting in now. I heard around $35k for the Shelby GT- don't know if that was posted here. By the way, MM, no 'vert for this year, maybe in '08- heard that from the source, but remember, that's a maybe.... maybe. See? There is still hope for me....either an '08 '500 'vert (probably Alloy/black/black, HIDs, interior u/g) or a Shelby GT 'vert, no decision on black or white, I like them both, loaded up, orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr a GT 350 if they get to making one. Down to 3 options...the wait is the killer .... :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordsalesguy Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Right on. So, what kind of rig are you driven these days ? Any thing in the works ? do you get that good employee pricing ? I have two cars right now a 2006 Fusion SE V6 and a 05 Mustang V6. I bought the mustang for my girlfriend to drive. I wanted a Mustang GT when I got my Fusion but my insurance monthly would have been more then my payment. Hopefully some time next year I am going to get a GT or a Shelby GT. As for employee pricing it is good on everything but if I wanted a GT500 they would still charge me around 10k over MSRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
