JPCrusher Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hello Everyone, My name is Jim and I'm pretty new to the forum. I'm a soldier in the United States Army and currently in Iraq. I'm also all set to purchase a 2010 Kona Blue GT500 coupe (White Stripes, Electronics Package, HID, Car Cover, 7yr/70,000mile warranty). My problem is that I think I might be able to get a better deal else where. I was quoted $50,407 with a $500 discount to bring it to $49,907. Is this to much right now? I know the 2011's are right around the corner and maybe I should just wait. I won't be back in the states until May and will have to pay for the vehicle by Feb 1st. I'm planning on not having financing so I figured that might help in negotiations. If anyone has any advice, or knows of a dealer that might have a better price, I would really appreciate it. Thanks and have a Happy New Year. Best, Jim Balad, Iraq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullens Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Jim, first of all thank you for your service. 2010's are going for $2k under sticker here, so you could pick one up for 47k. If I were you I'd wait until you got back. You will be in a much better position to negotiate in on a leftover 2010 in May, and you can see what the 2011's have if you wanted to go that route. Good luck and stay safe. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company I got my original quote will match another dealers quote for an "apples to apples and matches exactly" vehicle. I figure I'll see what kind of an offer I can get before deciding a 2010 or 2011. Thanks again for your help and have a good day.

mustanggt500 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm not sure where you are going for your company, but if it is through military sales be cautioned about their allocation. *IF* you are going through this source they do not have allocations that you can just "get". in January or February they will get about 25 GT500 allocations and right now there are almost 500 people in the lottery for one of these allocations. If your company is someplace else then disregard above and good luck to you! Nic Hello Joe, Thanks for the info and well wishes.

clark17357 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Jim, What others have said about prices is accurate. What I would sugest you do is contact a Forum member and Moderator, Michael Morris. Here is the link to his profile: http://www.teamshelb...michael-morris/ Michael is a Ford dealer, Supersnake owner and all around great guy. He has helped any number of members find just the car they wanted at the best price possible. Given your circumstances and when you will be home, I would sure consider waiting for the 2011 and the revised motor. Michael knows all there is to know about these cars and can keep you headed in the right direction. Looking forward to you coming home safe and sound and joining our family here. Please add my thanks to that of others posted here for your service to our country. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

check6 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 +2 on Michael (MM)is a great guy...another thought...when my husband and/or I were overseas, we would order new cars through the PX at a great discount and pick the car up at a stateside dealer...but, that was a long time ago and I have no idea if they will still do that or if that program even exists anymore Leann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
