With such hype you think they would do a little product knowledge before talking about it with clients.
my company sent out a 32 page guide on our Ipad 2 release so we would not **** off customers and all our staff had to read it so they were all trained.

Maybe this will be a better price?

We would say Carroll Shelby was instrumental in keeping the prices up on the GT500 for a year because he was always more concerned with the marketing aspect while backstabbing his very supporters while the face of the Boss 302, Parnelli Jones, seems to be a genuine Mustang fan and not likely to prostitute his priciples, name, or legacy in exchange for money. I could be proven wrong but I doubt it.
Am I implying an association of Carroll Shelby with the world's oldest profession? You make the call.

2. I'm not sure what kind a mental powers you have in your explanation of GT500 deals, very amusing.
3. I don't know which GT500 you're trying to say has flywheel issues and grinding trans, I guess I got one of the good ones out of 5500, lucky me yay
4. It always ALWAYS comes down to money with Shelby haters. Sorry you can't afford it, I can't afford a bugatti but I'm not crying about the overpriced supercar.
5. Parnelli Jones, talk about the oldest profession on earth. What does a Shelby hater need most. A super hero to defeat their darkest enemy, the evil Carroll Shelby. Now back to the oldest profession , you hate Shelby so much, I can actually see you falling in love with Jones just by reading your post about him. Very creepy

To the dismay of dealers we know eventually availaibity will improve and no matter how good the Boss turns out to be depriciation will be part of its future, perhaps even more than other SEs since the Boss owners are likely to track it more than other previous models.[/QUOTE]
Ahh,the financial rust that affects all the SE Mustangs,eventually.
My old '01 Bullitt,bought it new at MSRP, now down to around 9-10 grand,ten years later,for an excellent 19,000 mile example.
Compared to the latest 5.0 Mustangs,and Boss....about like a flathead Ford.

Here is a dealer in South Dakota who still has a 2007 Shelby Mustang on his lot...I cannot imagine what he is/was asking for it to be still be unsold.

I hope that is what happens to the greed driven dealers with the Boss.

True. The new Mustang will be out in a few years, most likely just as fast if not faster than the Boss, revised suspension, more power. Technology and performance will march on.

1. I guess you're saying that the buyers of the boss think it's overpriced and not worth msrp, interesting.
2. I'm not sure what kind a mental powers you have in your explanation of GT500 deals, very amusing.
3. I don't know which GT500 you're trying to say has flywheel issues and grinding trans, I guess I got one of the good ones out of 5500, lucky me yay

1) Those of us that jumped in when it was launched were faced with a pent-up demand for high hp muscle cars where the supply was limited to basically one car, the GT500. Today, the GT500 is competing with several flavors of high performance Mustangs, Challengers and Camaros, not to mention the CTS-V.
2) $20-$30k ADMs were the norm for the first year unless you owned a dealership.
3) I am on my 3rd clutch and 2nd transmission. If you were as interested in the legacy of these old racers as your car, you could Google GT500 clutch TSBs and it would keep you busy for a week.
To be honest, I like my GT500 and put a lot of money and effort into making it better. I am not a big racing spectator, but love to participate in track events. I know very little about either Carroll Shelby or Parnelli Jones. No disrespect to either man, but I own two really awesome Ford Mustangs. One is a GT500 and the other a Boss 302. Oh, and I don't have a signed anything on my GT500, other than the two guys that assembled the motor.

Give it a few years and these will sell cheap. Like the Shelby GT 2007-2008.
Back in July 2007, I went to a dealership wanting $60k for a white 2007 Shelby GT.
What a shame. Dealers think the allocation is sacred but no- anybody can order it at msrp

Perhaps in a year or so but right now, allocations at MSRP are few and far between.

I wouldn't say few and far between. But you have to be willing to look to find them and not just go with the first one you see. They aren't all MSRP, sure...but they aren't so limited that you can't find one at MSRP either.

I thought this would happen and is why I wanted to have my order locked in before the reviews came out and cars hit the lots. I wasn't paying attention to the GT500 Mania a few years ago other than seeing my local dealer add $40K to a KR. I thought they were on drugs and that car was still on their lot last Fall.

Of course, I did have no less than 4 dealerships aggressively try and sell me a GT500 they had sitting on the lot.
