A little more than a year ago my Father and I fell in love with the Shelby Gt500 at its debut at the New York Autoshow... We immediately put a deposit down to secure the 5th position at Metro Ford, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was only 2,500 and fully refundable without question... all was looking peachy.
Then came the hype... most powerful mustang ever... shelby back with ford... last svt ever... blah blah blah. March 2006 came and a MSRP was supposed to be realeased by Ford... no luck...Early May- A lucky customer from eastern canada posted that he was given a msrp of 52,000.. Today May 30 we finnally recieved a call from the dealer...A) they would not tell us the msrp (we already knew though cause of the posting)... B) They wanted 75,000 canadian (mulitiply by .9 for american) for the car.
Still at this price it is almost worth it... but out of principle we refuse... here is why... Ford is in trouble... BIG TROUBLE... They are trying to beat imports at there own game and the only thing that doesnt sit on a lot are trucks and stangs... So why should we support a dealer that is robbing loyal Ford customers (we have owned 7 plus fords now)... this is money Ford deserves for making a amazing car not some donut eating, fat car salesman. We called Ford aparently there is nothing they can do. If you do not have control over those who sell your cars no wonder you cant stay above red...
At only 20 years of age this is my promise... i will never buy a NEW ford again... i do not want my money going to another greedy dealer.
FYI... Used vette z06 is now what were looking for..
Looking for comments and others stories i wanna have a ford rant session
