I've been looking over forddirect.com to find dealers to harass and I've found two nearly identical cars in my area with different prices...
$28,945
and
$27,455
As far as I can see the only difference is that the first has the upgraded wheels. Is there something I'm missing that justifies the $1500 price difference?

Argghh, looks like I can't link directly to those pages. So the question is why would two cars at dealerships that are only 10 miles apart that appear to have the same specs cary different prices?

Maybe one has the bullit wheels? That's the only thing I could see under Options/Upgrades that was different.

The thing is I've seen a few of these off ford direct where I can't get the price to add up. Maybe the site is just screwy, but before I start soliciting these dealers it would be nice to know what car I am asking for.

The second one $27,455 has the correct price for the listed options.
The higher priced one has the optional wheels, but they are only a $195 option. When you figure the wheels in, there is a $1,295 price descrepancy. $1,295 happens to be the MSRP on the Shaker 1000. So either the 1st car has the Shaker 1000, or they have incorrectly added in the price of a Shaker 1000.

Neither one shows the "interior" section of the car, so I'm betting that car has the shaker 1000, rather than it being a mistake.

I'm thinking that Forddirect.com doesn't show the shaker1000 even if it is on the car. I have never seen it on there, even on a car at a dealership near me that I know has it (just checked).

I'm I missing something here but I thought the Anti-lock brakes/ traction control and the adj seats are standard on the GT? This shows them as an op.
Do the option upgrades include what is standed for GT above the V6. :scratch:
Sorry I know this is

. Assuming I can talk one of the dealers into XPlan. I don't really want the shaker 1000, but I'm getting antsy and may take it if the car I want is wrapped around it

You'll probably have to order one to get x-plan. At least, thats what most dealers have been saying.
