svttim Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Im not sure why we even go here. If someone has so much money that they are willing to pay the price, more power to them. It means nothing to the rest of the GT350 owners.Enjoys your cars guys, They are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT0547 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 The whole thing stinks from start to finish. I just hope the "new" 2nd Owner (and not Charles Robinson ~ Name in SA Window Sticker) realizes that he or she technically bought a "used" car... I just hope he/she doesn't get a rude awakening when they go to the local DMV to register their "Brand New" GT350 Gregg 07SGT0547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerS Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thanks for getting this back on topic gang. All the supporting documentation, including registry information, is under the name on the window sticker. Also included in the registry documentation is the ebay information on the sale through the dealer. Good for the customer and good for future values. This is not a KR situation. It is post title. The price of the car is negotiated at the dealer level. The package and options are set pricing. If the customer sells the car at a premium and someone is willing to pay great for all. There is no ADM. Remember the 45th. anniversary badging goes away on any order received after December 31, 2010. This car is becoming the lowest production, modern day, post title, consumer available, full package ever produced. There will be value down the road if history has any way of repeating itself.

SVTpower Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 ^^^^^^^ hahaha......value yah, when you're under top soil........speaking of which, buy land or real estate, that will bring you value, not a car !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHELBYCS6 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 ^^^^^^^ hahaha......value yah, when you're under top soil........speaking of which, buy land or real estate, that will bring you value, not a car !!! I couldn't agree more... I look at this venture like my sports card collection...when every kid in the 50's , 60's,and 70's played with their sports cards and beat the heck out of them and treated them like the piece of cardboard they were, the value was zero....but 30 years later a few gems survived and were worth thousands of dollars...today however...millions of people collect them in perfect condition which brings down the value... I myself have up to 11 complete mint sets of series like first edition Mcdonalds baseball cards from the 80's still locked away for the right moment..but my "Great One" rookie card went from $5k to $1500 in a heart beat because of mint condition cards that were available and now I think it's worth about $600.00. Shelby vehicles are exactly the same...they raced the Hertz cars..they beat the crap out of the GT-350 and GT-500 and what was left...well they were worth big money..... Soooo what do we have now...everybody and their dog keeps a perfect vehicle...what does that do for the overall and long term value...it will stay in the toilet until 75% of these vehicles are in the scrap yard which is not going to happen while it is in your heated dust free garage... Personally, I love both my cars and I drive my Gt-500 every single day except for winter when it is stored and I drive the CS6 less but when ever the weather is great.... I would rather experience the thrill driving my cars every single possible day I can than to let it sit in my garage waiting for a day of financial fortitude that will probably never come.

SVTpower Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 ^^^^^^ Exactly !!! Remember the b.s. in late 2006, 2 year/ maybe 3 year car b.s. !!!! Shelby and all those mod shops would be instantly broke if they didn't come out with these new models AND !!!!....... they will build as many as deposits they can get. Limited my foot !!!! Limited means 'we'll close our doors' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Granted and all valid points. When I was a kid I wanted a 66 GT350 never got there due to the financial obligations of college, marriage, raising a family, home, college funds etc. and the pricing was and still is out of my reach. I will definitely be under soil when the new cars obtain the status of the old ones. But I still cannot afford the old and could afford the new now. This issue is todays instant gratification society. We want it now or nothing. Read the forums on purchasing cars as an investment. I never mentioned that word and will not. Too volatile a market. Sort of like the stock market of last year. Value is relative to time. Due to production it will hold value to certain collectors and as time passes and more disappear to scrap yards etc. it will become more desirable. Leading to long term value. Just saying..................we will all most likely be under soil at that time but some kids and grandkids will be pretty lucky. :beerchug: Carry on!

You may want to look up the meaning of "value". Yes, real estate is a great investment, all of us here in Florida are doing really great with our "real estate" so come on down, we've lots to sell.

The MCO I got for my car had five places to transfer on it. OK... But maybe I am missing something here Isn't the base Mustang GT (donor car) supposed to be purchased, paid for and titled PRIOR to delivery and conversion at SA??? I understand the transfer process between dealers prior to first owner registration, dealer trades, etc. And I also realize that this is a very sensitive subject among future GT350 owners... But wasn't this particular car bought, paid for and titled once already??? And if so, even with 0 miles showing, it now "technically" becomes a USED CAR... Not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers or stir the pot... I'm just trying to understand the process... THANKS! Gregg 07SGT0547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 The car does not have to be titled right away. Especially because it is not being driven. I have probably bought 20+ cars and never titled them because I knew I was just going to resell them. Yes, the car is in reality a "used" car, but your name may still be the first one on the title. Banks and lending institutions know the difference and will loan $ accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Technically this is a used car. I'm confident the dealership will mark the paperwork accordingly. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSNAKE Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Went to check out this car today. WOW, those of you that have claimed that they look better in person than in pictures were right! Beautifull car. very well appointed and if a muscle car can be considered "classy", it was classy and (unfortunately IMO) made my 40th look somewhat dated. To answer the original question in this thread the deal IS legit and it is to be shipped to a gentlman (or lady) in Arizona soon. The salesman mentioned that they are currently trying to procure another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
