Shelby 500....crazy prices
I tried to buy an '07 Shelby GT500 and was told by several dealers here in the Southeast that the prices are all over MSRP. One dealer wanted $40k over, another $25 over. I will forgo the Shelby and replace my current daily driver, a 2004 corvette conv. with a new one. They are heavily discounted and very reliable, if not very quick. Wonder why Ford is losing money? Maybe they should take a look at some of their dealer's sales practices. Base allocations on fair dealing retailers and let the others whistle a tune for delivery of "specialty" cars. There are currently over 30 Shelby's sitting on dealer lots within 300 miles of me. They can sit forever as far as I am concerned. Also, there are hundreds of brand new GT's available around the country at big discounts. Remember when "those dealers" were asking $200K?
