rpretzel Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 You lucky Canucks! Good beer AND honest dealers who stick to their word... lucky buggers! :beerchug: Yes, cheers to our friends up north. Although, I beg to differ on the good beer. The suds brewed in Colorado are pretty hard to beat (and, no, I'm NOT talking about Coors) Meanwhile, all us folks in the states are left to wallow in our own crapulence. :beerchug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 Shelby Cobra Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Stopped by my dealer today and still no info on when the Canadian banks will open. He did guarantee I will never have to deal with anything like you poor southern boys. He promised I get the car and at MSRP....GUARATEED. I mentioned what you guys in the US are going through and that I won't relax until I have the order and confirmation in my hand and he started laughing...hard... then he told me to lighten up and relax. He said I may not get the car until September but once again, relax, as long as I want one, I'll get it AT MSRP! Nice to deal with a dealer that has a gearhead as the sales manager. Yes same here. Salesguy called and said not to worry about the Canadian Shelby ordering and not to worry about the 'Higher Than MSRP' horror stories that our American Brothers are facing. He said not to listen to any rumours and that I was still #1 at MSRP. He stated thet the Canadian Sales Banks weren't to Open for another few weeks. Much Relief, and..................I no longer feel constipated. I'm going to crack open a nice frosted Molson right now!! :beerchug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointing!!! My guy hasn't told me this yet....... Tick...tick...tick... I'll post when I hear some info. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 Shelby Cobra Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Crap!!! I guess that means it won't happen for me either Kaylan. As far as the rest goes, I think that's just the Canadian way. We're pretty honest folk who just tell it like it is, and stick to our word. If we're going to stick it to you, we'll do it from the front, not the back!!! My guy has always been upfront with me too. I don't worry about it turning out the way it has been promissed (although I did get the deal for MSRP in writing), but with all of the stories from south of the border, I will feel better once it's done!!! KingCobra. Hence the reason Civil Suits aren't totally out of control in Canada. Start pressuring Ford, South of 49ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kind of legality. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Dave, I nearly spewed my coffee on that one..... Coffee Paul? Beer... It's my day off! Yes I do feel better now!!

Orf Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ok....this might be a stupid question, but... Do you have to pay GST and that other tax on top of MSRP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 Shelby Cobra Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ok....this might be a stupid question, but... Do you have to pay GST and that other tax on top of MSRP? Oh ya! 15% total in Ontario. $50000 Canadian = $7500 to the tax Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpretzel Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Oh ya! 15% total in Ontario. $50000 Canadian = $5700 to the tax Man! OUCH!!! I knew there was a reason I don't live in Canada. If I ever do get this car, sales tax will be just 4.3% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't easy maintaining the Largest Country in the World, after Russia, with only a population of 35,000,000!! You should see what I paid in Income Tax last year!

I have SHELBYKR (on 68 GT500KR convert) and I have KING ROAD which I am going to use on th 07GT500. We should have a big party when the Canadian cars come out. Maybe at Ford Canada headquarters or Legendary Motorcar in Milton. LM has a bunch of old Shelbys there ....fully restored (mine is there now on the final stages of a 10 month resto project). It would make for a great photop and fun cruise/party op.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Oh B Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 It may sound a little greedy that I ordered 2 cars... What if everyone had orders in at a couple (or several) dealers. Don't many of you? Doesn't that send a false demand signal to dealers and to Ford? If extra demand is perceived (even though not real), doesn't that make the dealers think demand is greater than it really is and encourage them to slap on big ADM's? Just a thought. I could be way off track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWSSV Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Five Oh B, how'd it go for you yesterday? Did you get all your buyers orders in the system all right? Everyone happy? I bet you were a busy boy yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 And don't forget Gas Gussler Tax, and luxury car tax, and..., and... I hate tax Of course it's cheaper than getting hosed by ADMU!!! KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWSSV Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Better Yet....How many people placed orders & how many said price was no object? I think he has like 5-6 buyers eager to pay 10K over, plus many more standing in line. Please don't bash him for the ADM, if any dealer showed concern for his customers, it was Five Oh B. He's one of us, unlike the donkeys I was working with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
