Wanna laugh, check out the dealer's asking price for this GT in Maui!

[OzGT]

I was wondering why this dealer still had it, that is till I wandered over and looked at the window stick!

Makes mine look like a bargain imported and heavily taxed in another country!:rofl:rofl :rofl LMFAO

Gee Whiz......

Who would'nt be happy to sell at that price......

But, Guys!! The Car Is Blue!!!!! Blue's Worth All The Extra Bux!!

( Haven't we discussed this car B4? Or was that some OTHER dreamer - uh - dealer over there?)

This reminds me of something a Honda motorcycle dealer did in 1997. He had a 1996 Smokin Joes edition CBR600 that retailed for about $6,500 but had it on his showroom floor for listed for $27,000. The reason for the high price tag was that he had no intentions of selling it. He acquired it for himself and didn't want to title it! Funny thing was that another salesman at a Harley Dealer saw me ride up on my Smokin Joes Honda, and told me that he had a customer who had been looking for one, but did not want to spend the $27,000 to buy it. I offered him mine for $15,000! After the bank checked the blue book value, the dude ran! Imaging trying to finance or lease a Ford for half a million dollars :frown (I still have the bike in my collection with all my other race replicas, its still worth about $6500 today.)

Aaaaaaaah! No big deal! Who cares! ('second chance to laugh at it!)

I think Tim's assessment is correct. The price virtually ASSURES it won't be sold ...but, if it IS - JACKPOT!!!!!!!:banana :banana :banana

Uuuuuuh... by the way, OZ, what th' gallopin' clang IS on the front of the "T" shirt you were wearin' when you took those GT photos!!!!!!!

I recently purchased a new `05. It had the same type sticker but the "Dealer's asking price was only $242,000. I bought it for $5K under MSRP. When I asked the salesman why they still had the car in stock he answered "one word... greed".

Gunnar, welcome, did you contact Awsum GT and join the California registry.
Where are you in Marin County?

Hi bony, thanks for the welcome. I am new to all this and just joined this forum today but I have been following it since I bought my GT in December. I haven't joined the California registry as yet, but will be doing so. I am in San Anselmo. My car is a late `05, Quicksilver with black stripes. I found it at a local dealer. My first impressions are really positive...but I ordered a set of retainer bolts today to have on hand after reading about all the problems with them.

Cool, I am a native of the City. You found the place to be to learn about your GT.
Cheers,

Think I'll ship my ride over to Maui via Matson, park it across the street with a big FOR SALE $300,000 sign, go surfing and relax a little, then come back to Cali and buy 2 GT's :cheers

Guess I got a "DEAL" on mine.

 

[ladams1]

Ouch FGT cost

I bought my FGT in 2005 and the dealer was asking $250k. After back and forth I paid $179k, which at the time was the price.

I fellow in my development has three FGT;s. I have seen them. Two he bought for an investment. He said he can sell them in Japan for $500k each.
He has contacts etc and so forth.

Lee :eek

Let him know that he can buy my '06 GT for a mere $350K. I'll let him make the easy $150K.

:thumbsup

Just got back from Maui and a stroll by the dealer. Surprise it's still available however the price has been slashed to $265,000.oo. Another surprise would be if you could get your GT out of second gear anywhere on the Island. The traffic was brutal.

The traffic on Oahu was ridiculous when I was stationed there in 1967-70! I can only IMAGINE how completely HOPELESS it is now!:bang :bang :bang

A GT is a total WASTE over there on ANY of the Islands. There's just NO PLACE TO RUN 'EM. You'd be better off on a hot bike...

(If I remember right, the top speed posted over there was the one on the Kam Highway. A whopping 50MPH ...for about 3 miles. BIG DEAL! And even THAT was more than the natives could deal with at that time! I'd bet they arn't any better at it NOW either!!!)

That sure is a slash! He's almost got it down to his 'adjusted market value'! I'm sure it's going to run out the door at $265k as well! LOL:lol
