Hello from Virginia ....First time post......I have several dealers in my area that have GTs in stock on ford. com I thought some of the Msrp was a little high....so, I took all options down, built and priced the car on ford.com.... searched inventory, came up with EXACT matches at the dealer in my area But MSRP for what I built and what is at dealer is $1295 difference. Called ford ....MSRP sticker is set by dealer? I thought all factory stickers were the same? Evidentally NOT....I figured I would have to pay MSRP ....but some dealers have an extra profit built into this?

Some of the diffferences may be freight and regional advertising charges. Buy from the dealer and those are passed on - to everyone. Ordering may alter some of these charges, hence the difference.

Thoughts, gang?

Factory window stickers never get altered. Ford makes them.

Usually they put it on the dealer sticker. The Chevy dealer had a "Market Adjustment" of $10 K on the SSR. I'm still laughing about that one.

Maybe they put the equipment info in wrong(missed something) on the website or the dealer added accessories?
The shaker 1000 is exactly $1295. Just a thought

This is a rather wealthy area and every type of flashy car is seen on the roads, I have yet to see ONE single ssr with a tag other then a dealer one on the road. They should of called it SST super-super-turd :notnice:

I guess I did not explain this right? when I build and price on ford.com some of the dealers that come up with an (EXACT) match on ford.com has a MSRP $1295 higher than the car I built......the MSRP is the same at other dealers ford said that the dealers set the MSRP window sticker......

Well why don't you put up the info(the car your building and the dealers) and we can see what your doing and what might be wrong if anything. It will also give others a chance to check to see if it's happening in there area!
