kmggt Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Orderd the car in November. It was originally set to deliver March 24. The date then got moved to the 31. Then they moved the delivery to the 14 of April. When it did not arrive, I checked the rail car number and all it showed was that the railcar was loaded and departed on the 31 of March. The car was "lost" for over a week. Ford still said delivery was the 14 of April even as late as the 23 of April??? The dealer phoned late today and said it has arrived and I can pick it up early tomorrow morning. The weather is supposed to be nice but how am I going to sleep tonight?

It is seriously similar to having your kids. Sorry kids. Mom did all the work anyway! HSURB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGT500 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 My Black/Tungsten Coupe's ETA in Vancouver is May 11, but looks like the CN Rail strike could add a week or so to that. Grand total $87,000 Cdn. I got over the price thing months ago. Who cares anymore. Just deliver my car. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svtkeith Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I bought my Shelby at msrp 53,299 CDN without tax and 60,760 CDN tax in out the door. The dealer I bought it from was Wood Motors in New Brunswick. It's worth what ever you want to pay for it, It's your hard earned money do what you want with it IMO. Congrats to anyone who buys one.

APPLESREDGT500 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Kelly, congrats, any pics of you and your car yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmggt Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 No pictures yet. Had a minor( I hope) setback. Took a quick look at the car paid the price got plates then did another once over before driving it away. Noticed a few scratches especially on the spoiler and around on some of the edges. There were also some (rub) marks on the leading edge of the hood. I asked the salesman if they could be polished out with a LIGHT polish and he figured it could. I left it with them to do this and will go this afternoon to check it out. A bit of a let down actually. I was all pumped to drive the car but then figured the best was to leave it there and not drive it off the lot if I wasnt happy. I know that black (convert with tungsten ) will show all the imperfections, and I will be driving it, but I wanted a little better than that. I will let everyone know later what happens this afternoon. Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGT500 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 87.000.00 tax in or not That's tax in and all the other nonsense we pay...a/c charge, documentation, SVT fees, etc. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGT500 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Kelly, I hate to bring this up, but any sign of the new federal gov't gas guzzler tax. My dealer said that at some point it would be added onto the factory invoice. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmggt Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Nope. NO extra fees. They even took the ebonus off! The detailing place was able to buff the scratches off. I just put about 40k on driving it home. The sun was out, the top was down and my wife said we couldnt go home yet till I got the big goofy grin off my face. So we took the long way home. I was quite amazed by the power but also how tight it felt around corners. I hadnt driven one, just a gt before. I was impressed with the handling. I didnt get into the power very deep or hit the brakes hard as I want to ease into it. How long that will last I dont know. Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
