Anyone else get the feeling ADM free GT350s will burst free any day now? Last couple weeks looking on eBay, there are always 40+ GT350s from dealers sitting with no bids or reserve not met. There also seems to be inventory sitting at every dealer now.
I got a laugh last week when road tripping to a supplier, passed a Ford dealer and out of curiosity checked their inventory of GT350s. Couldn't believe they had two of them listed >$100k and the option to lock in that great price now on their web site.
I get this is America, capitalism, and they should get what someone is willing to pay, but why not forgo the extra couple thousand, sell into your local market and have someone driving an aspirational car around telling everyone the great experience they had at your dealership?

I have no problem with a dealer charging ADM. I wish they didn't, but I don't begrudge them. It's the buyer who ultimately decides. The market value of a car is what someone is willing to pay.
A GT350 plus ADM is above my pay grade, and even if I had the resources to buy one under those terms, I'm not sure I would. But I would want the opportunity to make that decision.
If there's a downside to capitalism it's that not everyone gets to own a GT350/500, Hellcat, Z06, or the latest thing from Italy. Better that than everyone driving a Prius.

You've just described the difference between a free market economy and warm fuzzy feelings about unicorns and rainbows that the left likes to espouse. In their universe everybody gets a trophy.

What you've just said reminds me that conservative punks like you feel like the world owes you the right to be afraid of everything you don't have the time or education to understand. In your world, you think everybody should S.Y.D. It doesn't work that way, kiddo.

Do you actually expect ANYONE here to care at all about your opinions when this is your introduction?
Go somewhere else.

And your response reminds me of why one shouldn't argue with morons. They only bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Ahh, yes....It's the reason I don't venture into a Ford Dealership. By far, the worst, dishonest dealer group. I love Mustangs, but hate this price gouging...It's not "Supply & Demand" as the local dealer has 5 sitting on the lot....You are better off buying a BMW M2.....

I dropped off my Mustang for service this morning and was talking to the shuttle driver taking me to work. He said that the dealer turned down an offer for $110,000 for their GT350. I replied that I guess that means I can't get X-plan pricing on it.

Gotta be talking a GT350R, right? Can't imagine that for a straight GT350.
I admit I contributed one of the whiny posts earlier in this thread about ADM, but seems like supply is catching up. If you really want one, you can search ads and dealerships across the country and find them at MSRP or even slightly less and pay the $1-2k shipping costs.
