No Joke! $50,000 Over MSRP
The saleswoman who sold me my GT just called me 5 minutes ago and said that they have 2 more GT500's allocated to their dealership and that I could purchase it with $10,000 down and $50,000 OVER MSRP. I thought I heard her as $15,000 over so I said 15? And she said no, that's Five-Zero.
I said, "Wow!" That's a lot of money!
She said, "yeah, the owners are firm on that price."
I told her good luck but that I wouldn't purchase it at that price.
Unbelievable!

I blame Barrett-Jackson auctions for this behavior! The car market has gone from enthusiast to speculator. It's all about making a quick buck from a buy and resell attitude.

Should have asked her how much future and repeat business they've figured to lose by trying to screw customers over like this. Not to mention how it reflects on Ford as a whole.
Maybe this is part of the "Bold Way Moves Forward" plan.

And they wonder why most car salesmen have bad reps! Im glad I bought mine through military car sales where all the cost were listed out in black and white. No hassle on the price.

It does not suprise me one bit. There are alot of people in the world who have sooo much money, 100k is nothing. The sad thing for most of them a GT 500 would just be a status toy, parked in the garage with all the other toys and forgotten.
