gt5001 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 A Ford salesman told me it wasn't difficult to buy a Shelby GT. He said most everyone wants the GT500 and the Shelby GTs are going at MSRP or close. Is this true? How difficult to get a 2008 blue coupe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately they have been sitting at dealers for a couple weeks before being sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not difficult at all...just order one from him and you got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2008 I suspect will have higher mark ups and be harder to come by because they are only building 2200 for 08 and 70% are estimated to be convertibles. We will probably not see an 08. BTW, I have two 07's you can have for MSRP. One white with automatic and one Black with manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polecat Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 When I bought my White stick from Champion Ford about 6 weeks ago, they also had a White automatic. As of yesterday, they still had it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Clearly the market has softened on both the GT and 500; at least in the Los Angeles area anyway. Santa Monica Ford (Santa Monica, CA) has one white/silver SGT and two 500's (one black/white, one white/blue). I believe that they are still standing with 15K ADM's on all three cars, but I can't imagine that they will hold with those ADM's when the 08's start dropping on them. Galpin Ford has quite a few SGT'S and 500's in stock with ADM still holding at 15K for their SGT's and 25 to 65K on their 500's. The 65K ADM's are on cars number 3 and 31(2007's), and the 25K ADM is the avarage on all of the other 500's they have in stock. BTW as predicted several months ago, Galpin "won" the right to recieve TWO KR's. Only God and Burt Bachmann (the owner of Galpin) knows what the ADM will be on those two cars, but my guess is that they will be no less than six figures each. I also suspect that they will be low numbered cars too, because Carroll and Burt go back many, many, years, and they just had a private lunch together about three weeks ago; shortly after Galpin "won" the two KR's. As already stated by Shelby Dude, the ADM on 2008 SGT's vert's will be significantly higher than the 2007 MY cars due to their limited production numbers. The bottom line is that if you are in contact with a dealership that will sell you a SGT for MSRP, then you should definately think about going for it.

ShelbyPilot Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 ....LOL, the cars at Santa Monica: I wonder if the White and Silver Shelby GT was the car I originally ordered and I wonder if the Black and white GT500 is the one that was sitting in the showroom when I signed my sales contract back in Jan. They were asking $20K ADM on the GT500 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Galpin is wanting $170K for the KR How did they "WIN" two of these? The only dealers I know of that WON any of these so far is the 5 dealers that attended the meeting in Detroit. Were they one of the 5 dealers there that won one? And how was the second one won? To my knowledge there has not been any other winners yet and the next winner announcement will be Aug 10th which is a lottery based on July F-Series sales. The next lottery is based on share of nation 2006 - 2007 mustang sales which that only gets the dealer X number of tokens based on their sales for their region and they still have to win from a drawing and hold a winning token to win one. So I would really be curious to know what deal they were involved in that they have already won two??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a nice collection of cars, from what I have seen in their backroom on MTV GAS PIMP MY RIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilkilla Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Working out an invoice deal on an 07 Shelby GT atm(14 on ground 2 more coming) Working out orders on 08 Shelby GTs at MSRP(not sure how many, one for certain on order) We used to see the report for Mustang Market Penetration, and we were 2nd behind Galpin, but this was on the 04 and 05 model year, so I'm not sure of current.
