Did you tell her your name is Roger, and that you have money and taste, but aren't on anyone A-List?
They are not firm on that price. They are just going down their list fishing for idiots. They'll catch 1 or 2, then take whatever they can get for the rest of the cars. I bet if you offered them 40 over, they'd take it.

So it must be factual, right? And of course, if a sale is at MSRP or below she would be just as candid and rush to the phone to keep you informed because you are so important.
First, you have to be an idiot to belief what you are told, and two, you have to be a bigger idiot to post what cannot be verified.
I think the guys who already have GT's are in good shape.. Just buy a blower and be done with it.. If you want the GT500 looks, just buy the complete body kit for $2500 bucks..

Man this site has a deal on a 4.6L 3V.. You all know I love my V6, but boy that sure is tempting..
I was looking at the trust in my garage to see if they could hold onto the engine with a hoist.. They look pretty solid enough...
Man, a new 3V 4.6L for $1395 is killing me.. LOL!! What to do what to do!! What clinches it is that my Vortech setup would bolt right up to it and I could be at 500RWHP!! LOL!! I'd kill a GT500!! LOL!!
New Take out 4.6 3valve
Bottom line is guys, we have alot of options so there is no need to worry about the GT500..

2006 SUV Engines
low mileage take-out
ON SALE $1395.00! What a Deal!!! This is an SUV long block with a 2005/06 Pony GT intake manifold included. * does not include throttle body as pictured. also does not include front accessories and has SUV exhaust manifolds. If you are going to super charge a 2006/07 Pony, this is the block to use!! (similar to the 2003/04 S/C Snake configuration with a cast iron block).

That reminds me of what happened to me when I went out to buy my mustang. November 2004 Burch Ford in Brea California has two mustangs on the lot. Black, V6 Premium, Auto with Exterior sport pack and Shaker 500.
I want to test drive them, but the manager says no way I want to keep low miles on them unless you are going to buy them or buy a car from us, then no test drive.
ITS a FREAKING SKIPPER 500, Premo V6 big deal.... LOL
I just laugh everytime I think about how rude there dealership was to me.
So I drove over the hill to Puente Hills and test drove one of their 6 mustangs and ordered my car from them instead.
Stupid dealers. $50k over. Some moron will pay it too I am sure. And like you said try and trade it in down the line and it will be worth 30k.
25k and you can build a hotter, faster GT then the GT500.

Kind of funny that the initial reaction from a number of folks is that there are too many idiots in California with too much money. That could be, but I'm not sure what it has to do with a dealer asking for $50k over MSRP. This whole GT500 issue is so emotional that I think many have disengaged their brains when looking at these issues.
The fact is a dealer is asking a ton of money...an amount that is way over market. He might get it, he might not. But $50k over is a reflection of nothing but the dealer's hope. Most likely, the dealer knows his price is way high, but he's willing to risk a month or two of flooring cost on the off chance someone will pay it. If no one does, he'll start stepping down in price until he finds a willing buyer. Same as it ever was.

Memphis Raines my man, whaoo! Welcome the TMS. How is Elenor these days? You know the "The GT 500, The GT 500"
Wait a while and they will be giving them away at the end of MY O8.
