Thats a classic, both the car and this story.

They only way they could mark up the car in Canada is if they titled it as a demo and put some miles on it.

That's a huge downpayment on a house... I wouldn't even think about it

thats Ontario, California

And its a reseller like JStar motors

At least they had the guts to put that outrageous sticker on it. Here IN Alberta Canada, I have been turned down at 15k over. But its all very hush hush, no legal traceability involved.

There should be jail time for something like this...

We'll all chip in for Brad's bail.

Is the price in US dollars or Canadian dollars? Or is there a difference in the dollars?
Forgive me but I don't have to convert foreign currency that often.
Just South American Dollars to US occasionally.

It is U.S. dollars because that's not Ontario Canada, it's Ontario, California
Oh the Shame!

I'd buy myself an Aston Martin Vantage with that money

The sad thing is you literally could.

If I had a lot of money and were at my estate vacation home near that dealer in California, and it was convenient for me to get the car before my trip to my Villa in South beach Florida the following week, I might just stop buy and give a check for $125,000.00.
After all thats just pocket change and I already have 2 Astons and I am in some real need of true American muscle.
This when I get back from vacation I will have it waiting for me in my 20 car garage.

If you did, You wouldnt be a smart rich person, and I would guess that your money wouldnt last you too long lol.

My dealer here on east coast just got his coupe. List is $45000. he will keep it for himself. What kills me is the $1300 gas guzzler tax. This car is rated at 15mpg city, 21mpg highway which is about the same as my F150. I only payed $160 gas guzzler tax on the truck Talk about a scr@#$%w job!! Sure wish I could afford it though.

The government expects fullsize trucks to return lousy mileage, and since that market segment was formerly the domain of domestic makers, a lower GG tax helped the Big Three.

LOL...For that kind of money, what's another $30K to buy a GT?

Lalo

And you literally can buy one with that money, since people going for a Vantage arent worrying about ADM's... well, at least in Great Britain. It's yet to be seen how they will handle it here.

Hopefully they dont gouge the Vantage like they did the Ford GT when it first was released

I love it! I copied that picture to my hard drive, in about a year when the Shelbys are going for MSRP I'm going to post it so we can all have a laugh about the "glory days" of Shelby pricing

Lalo

great idea!!!

Whoa, and I wanted to brag about the 30k-markup I saw at Cerritos Ford on Saturday (the guys who quoted me $ 1200 for stripe installation EXcluding material)...
