Re: Shelby bulk order

Interesting we should have the discussion about NOS part pricing
and new car pricing at the same time... Aside from the fact that
the baseline price for new cars is clearly set, I don't see
much difference between the two.

Why do you consider this "gouging"? The dealer can (AFAIK) set
whatever price he likes, and obviously they are going to ask more for a
"hot commodity" than for a car with less demand. If you want to be
first on the block with a new Mustang - you will have to pay for
the privilege. If you can be patient and wait until demand slows -
you can get the best price.

Carsdirect.com is a great way for gauging the market
>From http://www.carsdirect.com :

2005 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe GT Premium
MSRP Price: $26,750
Invoice Price: $24,804
Target Price: $28,250 (MSRP+1500)

But if you want to go with a humble V6 coupe:

MSRP Price: $19,770
Invoice Price: $18,521
CarsDirect Price: $19,421 (Invoice+900)

So, if you want a new GT mustang, call all the dealers in your area,
ask to talk to the "Fleet manager", and tell him its Invoice-plus-250
or no deal. Then, be prepared to wait...
