Plus the 20k markup. I could afford a GT500. But I couldn't afford a GT500 plus 20k in markups.

Never pay that! There are dealers out there that will sell at MSRP if you shop around. Nows the time to buy while the 2014 run is in it's early stages. Once the inventories start to dry up, I predict some big mark ups happening as buyers scramble to get the last ones before the Euro style 2015's.

I did shop around. My car shopping to car ordered to car in my driveway lasted nearly six months last year. Couldn't get anyone that had allocation to go under sticker, especially since the one dealership that had ample allocation already had three Boss 302s, one Boss LS, two GT500s, a used 2012 GT500 SVTPP, and probably 3 California Special Verts on site. They angled to sell me on their stock, but I wanted a Grabber car, and they had none. GT500s were 85k, and the used 2012 GT500 was 45k, but was a black stripe delete, non SVTPP, with nav. If I were to get a GT500, it wouldn't have been black, and it still would have been a vert

I personally know someone who just recently purchased a 2011 Shelby GT-500 with 3000 mile on it at a dealership, for under $40K. To me that was a steal!! Fully loaded with the track pack and all the goodies!!
