More dealer lies (McCrackin Ford - Pittsburgh, PA
#1
McCrackin Ford (located in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh, PA) has a Black GT 5-spd with no options...JUST WHAT I WANT!!!
However, they are asking 3K over MSRP for this car and more than that for cars with various options.
I spoke to Mary Mendis (Internet Sales Consultant) and she told me that the Mustang GTs are limited run cars and they will remain that way through their entire production run. She said they will never reach the same production numbers as the last generation Mustangs and therefore the price adjustment is justified.
I politely told her I was not interested and hung up!
I've also had issues with 2 other dealers (Washington Ford and Moon Township Ford) who promised me test drives - only to back out after I drive the 30+ minutes to their showrooms.
If you're from the Pittsburgh area - I recommend South Village Ford - ask for John Hritz - although this dealer has not been able to get me behind the wheel yet - John has been very upfront with me and has not fed me any bull-crap. This dealer is under new ownership and they haven't seen the volume of GTs like some other dealers in the area - not sure why - but like I said - John has been very truthful and hasn't broken any promises to me.
It seems all their GTs are already sold - but John has given me a heads-up when the few have come in so I can quickly check out the various colors. I've seen the Legend Lime, Windveil Blue, Black and Redfire. And I'm sold on the black!!! It's only a matter of time.
peace out,

Gt mustangs, limited production.
Limited productions GTs, Yah Right!
These things aren't machs or cobras or Cobra Rs or shelbys or saleens or roushs or steedas.

I have been asked to leave a dealership after calling them on there BS.
I was told that they could not tell me the price they paid for a car (94 mustang back in 94)because the computers are down. So I said so others could here. "You mean that all these folk's that are sitting here buying cars can't complete deals tonight because the computer is down?"I was standing next to a row of people sitting and negotiating deals. I may have been out of line but I did not make a big deal about it or raise my vice to a yell.It was just raised a little.Just enough that the folks that were with in about 5 feet of me heard what I said.I just hate to be treated like I don't know what's up.I'm the kind of guy that will tell you if I don't know something and not try to BS my way around things.

I recommend South Village Ford ... has been very upfront with me and has not fed me any bull-crap
I did not feel that was very truthful. I understand the salesmen don't always know what is going on with orders, but I figured the Sales Manager or his boss would be able to tell me something and not wait for 3 months before telling me the truth.
On a good note, I asked for my deposit back during that last phone conversation. It was ready by the time I stopped by.
I called Jim Bortz at Tom Clark Ford and that salesman adjusted his existing order to match what I wanted, then he gave me a PIN number to buy on X-plan (this was due to a unique situation). The car came in about three weeks after I first talked to him.

Kluski,
Thats cool that every thing worked out for you. Maybe the reason John (from South Village Ford) was cool with me was cause he use to sell Suby's and I told him I'm going from a WRX to a Mustang GT - I explained my time frame and what I want to do and John has been nothing but upfront with me. A lot of info he gave me was right on with what I was hearing on this board.
I did stop in there a few weeks earlier and another salesman fed me a bunch of crap about the GT not being available until Jan. '05 and what-not - I just walked away. (GTs were already out at this time).
I wonder if your issue with South Village Ford AND the fact they haven't had many GTs roll through their showroom is because they are under new management??? - maybe the previous ownership and FordMoCo did not get along??? Who knows - I guess they're a hit or miss dealer - depends on who you work with. All I know is John has been cool with me and he'll get the first crack at my business - I owe him that for his honesty.

Thats good that it is working out for you.
I think with any place you go to, you could find someone to say something good and another to say something bad.
Actually they were nice when we talked. One guy even offered me a job. Even after I picked up the deposit refund, he said that offer still stands.

MEL HAMBELTON FORD here in Wichita KS are marking their's way up. Next to the actual sticker price was a little ink-jet-printout-sticker saying that they were adding $7,500 to the MSRP for "market adjustment rate"
that pushed the final price to a low, low $34,xxx...

I sat in a Black GT in the showroom of Shultz Ford in Pittsburgh. Through the course of talkin to the salesman I was told that McCracken Ford on McKnight Road was dealer-trading every dealer in the area for Mustang GT's, so they could have a monopoly over GT sales. Because of the monopoly, they control the price- allowing for the 3 thousand over MSRP to happen.
