Ordered 2008 Shelby Last Week


Recommended Posts

I have finally placed an order for a 2008 Shelby GT500. I tried to find a 2007 and had one secured but after the dealer didn't keep his end of the bargain I was stuck without one. My car will be red with the white stripes. Now the wait......

Congrats. Hope your wait is not too long.

Congrates, how did you seal the deal and how priced?

 

Most of the dealerships in North Carolina still have waiting lists so this has been a challenge. ADMs are still pretty high around here with most of the dealerships asking between $15K - $25K. I found a dealership that would sell me a car but they were on the other side of the state from me. Before I sent them a deposit I decided to talk to my local dealer who I had bought two cars from in the last three years and to my surprise he was willing to work with me and for less than any other dealer I spoke with. I sat in the office with him on Saturday and he entered the order with a priority code of 10. I believe that I will be getting his first 2008.

 

I was determined not to pay over MSRP for the car but I realized that if I really wanted the car that would not happen. The ADM I am paying is $11K. I wish I could have found one for $5K or less but I didn't want to miss out on this car.

Congratulations. That is awesome! It's great that you are getting the car exactly the way you want it. :D You don't want to "settle" for something else over a couple thousand.

 

I like you was holding out for MSRP but am breaking down. I am negotiating on an 07 and we are down to between 7k and 8k over. :nonono: Hopefully we will get it done tomorrow.

Congratulations on your deal. I am in NC also and had no luck finding a deal in 07. I finally got a callback from one of the dealers I approached about an 08.

Awesome.....What color are you going to order? Where in western NC are you located?

I ordered an ebony vert loaded up with the shaker 1000. I am in Sylva which is about an hour west of Asheville. My car has been scheduled for the week of 7/23 and I am hoping to see it the first week of September. Where are you in NC?

I live in Kernersville. I am probably about three hours away from Asheville.

WOW :stop: You seal a deal and will have a 2008 in less than a month? How did that happen??? I don't get it unless this dealer is huge and has some pull. I ordered 6/15 and have nothing yet.... and I mean nothing! :cry:

I talked to the dealer the other day and he told me my car has a full vin# and he expects it the first week of September. Call it what you want but I call it good karma. I have been looking for a deal on these cars since the concept car came out with no luck. The dealers who are screwing people to make a quick 15K shouldn't be able to sleep at night. I just kept my eyes open and kept looking. I think a few dealers are unsure about the 08's oversaturating the market and are making better deals than a year ago. I think once the 08's start showing up the dealers will make deals on their 07's and put their ridiculous adms on the new cars. Best of luck getting some info on your car soon.
