i drove a shelby yesterday
hey everybody i am new to this forum. i just wanted to let you all know that i work at a ford dealer in murray utah and we received our shelby yesterday it is the first one in utah
. it is red w/ white stripes i am the one who gets to do the PDI's on all the new cars so it was me who had the priveledge to PDI this one. let just say that for those of you that are buying one you wont be dissapointed it was so much fun to drive everybody on the road got whiplash trying to see it going down the road even the coppers. the sticker price was $45k & some change but my dealer is taking the highest bit which is currently @ about $75k but if i had the money i would pay it no questions asked. i am going to take some pics of it today if it is not sold allready.

Must have been fun to drive it. If you had the money and bought it you would complete the age old addage "a fool & his money are soon parted". You wont find too many people on these forums willing to be raped like dealerships such as your employer. Anyway thats for the story. Please leave a tub of KY in the glove box for the customer who buys the Shelby. He will need it.

I'm sure thats the good hearted response he was looking for. Just be happy for the guy and stop bashing dealers because they have a popular car. Being curteous is not an impossibility. Sorry you're so frustrated, but wait a little while and you will surely get one if you want it.

I am not frustrated. If I really wanted one I would go buy it. My personal take on the post is he is hoping to get interest for his dealerships auction. But regardless thanks for your concern......

Welcome to the site, and thank you for the verbal test drive. You'll find these guys & gals on this site are very educated on the subject of Shelby's,and have very good reasons not to spend over MSRP.
I'm with you, if I could afford it I would spend $10,000 to $ 15,000 over list i would do it.
( if I could afford it.) I'm with you.

i was not trying to get interest in bids on the car. as a matter of fact it was already sold($65k) when i wrote that post. just thought i would share with the rest of you that they are a very fun car to drive, and even better to look at.

). Anyone knows that these cars will be able to be had for sticker or lower before too long. If the "I had it first gang" needs to have theirs-let them.Oh and like you said, it is his check!
And Josh-they are a sweet ride, eh?

If it wasn't for some members shooting strait this place would be a circus for those who could care less about the well being of the membership. The term "the best interests of... " does apply.

There are different ways of getting points across. The sooner, the better.
