Last year I put my name on a waiting list for a GT500
with an out of town dealer. I was number nine on the list.
I figured if I could get a brand new reliable Mustang with
500 hp for around 45K I might go for it. After several inquiries
and many months, I finally received an email stating that the
price is $65,000. I replied that I wasn't interested.
So yesterday, I stop in at the local Ford dealer - not
the one with the waiting list - to pick up an e brake cable
for my Ranger. Holy ****, there's a GT500 on the showroom
floor! I didn't think they were going to get any, so I never
asked. I looked it over closely, and there are only two
things I don't like - the white color and the stripes. But
I do like the fact that the only price displayed on the car
is the MSRP of $43K in the window. This dealer is known for
its fair pricing, so when the sales guy walked over I asked
him if they are selling the car for the price on the window
sticker. He smiles and says "no". "How much is it", I ask.
He disappears for a minute, comes back, and says "seventy
thousand". I laughed and told him I'd wait for the price
to reach a sane number. No way is it worth that. Ford
should at least have used an aluminum block to keep some
weight off the nose. Are people actually paying that much for
them? Any guesses on what they'll sell for next year?
