First Damaged Shelby
Not only is this the first Shelby in SD (that I know about) but it also may be the first one to be damaged. It arrived at Pearson Ford in San Diego yesterday. Its still for sell; not spoken for yet.
As posted by an employee on another forum... " 'Alloy Clearcoat Metallic' ............kind of a charcoal grey with silver stripes over the top and silver 'GT500" stripe down the side
Damaged right off the truck..........ham-fisted truck driver gouged the front spoiler almost tore it off...........'
asking 30K over sticker.

"... SON OF A BEACH!!! NO COMMENT!!! GET THAT CAMERA OFF MY FACE!!! SON OF A B.........!!!

You didn't actually think otherwise, did you?
Also-I DO NOT agree with the dealer markup that is applied to these cars-I am just a humble Service Consultant.

This happened to my 2000GT..had a 7 inch long scratch on the roof right down to the metal on delivery. MY sales guy saw the driver do it.. he said some part of the truck was dangling down and the drive just didn't care and drove the car off and ruined the roof. My car was in the body shop a day after i got it..
I was POed bigitme but they gave me a loaner for free and you can't even tell it had happened now so in the end it was ok.

I bought my GT from pearson ford, I'm not suprised they are asking $30k over MSRP. Encinitas Ford is owned and operated by a very honest family, I'm very suprised at how they handle the mark up on some of the 'hot new vehicles', hopefully they learn their mistake, it's too bad guys in Rancho Santa Fe paid the 100k markup on the Ford GT.

I was referring more to the "slight" increase in price.

Question is... once the rich dumb people buy that markup,
how many will be sitting on the lots.
Are there going to be THAT many stupid rich people to buy that many?
or will they skip this, and buy some more Ferrari's and Lambo's.
I can't wait to see these things sit on lots... and eventually they will...
I'm pretty sure some dealers know it too... they are just attempting to get that money... if ti works...great. more money to them...
...if it doesn't, no biggie, they'll drop it to its 'regular price'
how many will be sitting on the lots.
