A perfect example of who should not get a car!

My local dealer applied however he is a small dealership. He would be like this. He is NOT a car guy. Of course, he didn't get one either.

Gosh, I just keep wondering what's the "cost" is going to be to get one in the next few years if I don't get one next go around. Sort of like a post I was reading not too long ago. Just a few years back, a guy wanted a Miura, but couldn't afford one. Now he has money, but not what a current Miura is going for.

Gentlemen,

Speaking from extensive personal experience, when I shoot a duck in the ass, they stop going.

So let me get this straight. This guy gets one of the very few GT's staying in Canada, and has no f$%king clue about any details about the car. Where has he been for the past 4 years.....does this guy not even pick up a car magazine or read any car forums????

So I would give away my child to get a new GT ( for the record I have no children) and this guy barely even knows it's a Ford....but he gets one.


I think something is very wrong with how the cars were awarded in Canada.

Even if you did get a new GT, it would eventually be reduced to nothing but molten carbon fiber as the sun slowly engulfs the earth.

All Triple Crown dealers (won President's Award, Premier Club, and One Hundred Club or Lincoln Leaders Club in the same year), were awarded a GT. Other dealers were allowed to apply but not guaranteed a car.
An extremely limited number of dealers were awarded cars purely on the basis of hitting sales and service metrics.

Apparently product knowledge is not a requirement to win any awards.

Right now there is a foot of snow and -15C and I am anticipating my GT delivery next year between Oct 24 and Nov 24, but on the bright side I got all winter to get the expel treatment on her. Might have to knock a wall out of the shack and put her in the games room. LOL

Why would a dealer want to bone up on product knowledge for a car he will probably never see? It's like studying for a college class that you are not going to take. I guess your point is, that a dealer should educate the masses about the GT? I think that Ford and Multimatic have done a pretty good job of educating the world on the new Ford GT. If that Canadian dealer was allocated a new GT, he is doing a hell of a job for Ford, selling and servicing their products. Triple Crown dealers are a rarity. My hat is off to this dealer even if he is not a GT expert. He is way too busy selling and servicing cars and trucks that he can actually get from Ford Motor Company. I don't think that one Ford GT will change his lifestyle.

It won't change his lifestyle, but he is keeping it from someone that truly cares about it.

I think the guy did a very nice job, and a great example of 'Canadian Nice!'

Perhaps some don't get it, but this GT wasn't 'purchased' by this guy. He was simply rewarded for doing an excellent job. He's obviously not a car nut like all of here, but maybe he's just better at being a 'car dealer' as we talked about in another thread.

.......bet he'd be a fantastic neighbor!
