That was not my point at all. I doubt if there are any of us here who don't understand the supply and demand thing. Thanks for the lesson but you can be pretty certain that we get that part already. Enjoy.
Forking over a 5 or 10 thousand dollar premium for a item that will sharply depreciate in value is a degree of stupidity that the majority of cannot even comprehend.
Please don't think that the guys who can afford to do so are the first suckers to jump. I know and work with people who could...
How is buying a cup of Coffee at Starbucks which tens of millions of people do everyday comparable to a retailer attempting to gouge a potential buyer to the tune of 10 or 20 grand? Really?
Honestly can't think of an industry that has a worse reputation for dishonesty and chicanery than the retail car business. I always feel as if I need a shower when I walk out of one of those places.
The production numbers will NOT be low. They will be adequate as the take rate of this type of vehicle is extremely low to the point where the market for it barely exists at all. We as enthusiasts often confuse interest with the intent and ability to purchase. It is simply amazing to observe how...
There were about 11,000, 2007 GT500s built, enough to have 0% financing on them during the summer of 2007. There were nearly 50,000 GT500s built over 8 model years. That will give anyone a good idea of just how "limited" production was. LOL!
GT500 was to be a "limited production", 2 year offering with 3,000 units/year. What a bunch of hype, BS, and nonsense all contrived by those poised to exploit an enthusiasts misconceptions by creating an illusion of scarcity. OMG! I may not get one! The sky is falling! NOT.
The very "limited...
Exactly!!!
Refreshing to see there is someone else here who can see thru all this hype and nonsense.
Allocations-WHATEVER, not the buyers problem. Joe Blow Ford can't sell you a car wait a while or move on. GT350s will be looking for a home sooner than you think. Let the guys who must...
Its time to step back and take a deep breath here. Spend a few minutes researching the sales history of recent special edition Mustang. You will very quickly recognize a repetitive pattern. Hype and nonsense prior to initial deliveries, early adopters paying full sticker and in some cases a...
I don't think this poster is saying that he can't drive. He points out what many of us know but are quite hesitant to admit and that is that the car is far better than we are. Unless you are a essentially a pro then your GT350, Z06 Corvette, or ZX-10rr Sportbike are better than you are. These...
Yeah, rarest car in the universe, certainly what those on the seller's side of the fence would love you to believe. The priors all were at this point of their sales history.
Keep in mind that this offering is significantly different than the beast of a car the GT500 was. It seems as if...
So true. We are now taking 12 second cars for granted. Look how many factory performance cars can now rip 1/4 miles in the 11s. A stock A8, Z06 recently ran a 10.4. That is insane for a vehicle right off an assembly line. These are absolutely the very best of times. Technology has really...
Some of these greedy grease balls should remind themselves of the mess their stupidity created with the Terminators. Ford had to bail out these dealers who were stuck with them and eventually couldn't sell them for invoice. I bought mine for $29,100(MSRP 36k). They went for less than that a...
