So should I just try typing my name into that letter and seeing if I can get a GT500 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

 

Did you read the fine print at the buttom. It reads, "If you have ever exceeded the posted speed limit by more than 5 miles per hour, or if have ever done a burnout, your here said letter is null and void".

 

right.... fine print, there is no fine print.

Notice how it says the dealer doesn't have to participate. Which means they will simply say NO to anything without a market adjustment!

 

Since it does not count against their allocation why would they not do it!

 

I'd rather have a letter saying I've got a large sum of money headed my way in the near future... followed by this letter.

Because of this:

I'm sure there are already unscrupulous dealers out there who are scheming a way to get some of those power lease GT-500s that don't count against their allocation and charge $20K AMVs on them.

What happens if I order a GT-500 on the power lease program and when it arrives the dealer tells me there is a $20K AMV? I'm sure the dealer will tell me that if I don't want to pay it there are plenty of other customers who will take my GT-500 and pay the AMV.

Don't call me cynical, one of my local Ford dealers pulled a stunt like this on a Ford GT sale. The day you could place orders for Ford GTs a customer ordered one at MSRP. When the customer went to take delivery the dealer demanded a $50K AMV.

Oh you say that's illegal, well the dealer said it wasn't AMV, it was "Dealer Preparation Charge" The customer sued the dealer and after a year he won the case. But winning in court doesn't mean anything in this country anymore, last I heard the customer still had not been able to take delivery of his Ford GT.

This story is not BS, it has been well documented in the local news paper.

 

I would be [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] to tak ALL powerlease customers and negotiate a price UNDER MSRP fot their Shelby's. Why not, it does not count against our allocation, it would create a lot of buzz, I would be able to get free press out of it delivering all those Shelby's.

I could be the Shelby King of the USA. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

 

Good Thinking ED!

I believe it. One of the guys on this form had a similar thing happen when the '05s were demanding AMV. The dealer ordered a car for him on the x-plan pricing agreement, took his PIN, and when the car arrived he wanted a $5000 mark up. Luckily, I put the customer in contact with the Ford Program Manager and after a few phone calls the AMV magically went away. Ford special programs (A/X/D and powerlease) have little power to control dealers, but the threat of losing a Shelby allotment because their presidential award winner status was revoked keeps most of them in line. Think of it as a $10-20k fine for being a dirtbag.
