A solution or two for dealer mark ups/adm fees on new GT!!
- Thread starter B.M.F.
- Start date
HA! we would do pretty well here!
Oh a serious note, I have found it entertaining to read suggested allocation strategies that somehow always seem to include the author.
I want this car. However I have already resorted to the fact, we may never get it. I don't have the time or motivation to scour the country to find one free of ADM, IF they ever get to this point. Time will tell what happens....

The weekend edition of the WSJ had an aritcle on the new GT, had a quote that was attributed to Ford, and had pricing at the same level of the 05-06. I'd be very surprised if it was priced there. The quote was not from an individual, it referred to Ford source.
Even though it's a two pedal car, I'd love to get my hands on one (at MSRP), don't know where I'd put it, or one of the other cars, as I'm "full", but I'll find room, given the opportunity!
Yeah, the author is clueless. Not happening.

Dear Mr. Specracer:
We are in receipt of your letter and would like to thank you for your interest in acquiring one of our new Ford GT's.
We regret to inform you that under our loyalty program as defined, that you have not yet accrued enough points in order to be considered in the first five (5) years of GT production. The GT loyalty program was developed by a select group of individuals who have identifed and developed a comprehensive 'points' system, where points are earned by meeting key criteria. The highest possible score is 10. Some of the key metrics are: color of your GT, your age, number of post-WW2 Ford registrations currently active in the US. By way of example, a perfect score of 10 could be earned by having a 2005/6 RED GT, >45 years of age and >6 active Ford vehicle registrations. :biggrin

For the first year's run:
Fair would be a lottery pick. The individuals would be from the pool of both original and current GT owners. (I am not on this list)
The winning certificate would allow that purchase at any Ford dealership.
Ford can mandate MSRP pricing. Otherwise negotiating would work since the only way a dealership could acquire a new Gt is through a lottery winner.

Nope, we need to meet. Bring active registrations.
Loser buys drinks -or- forfeits their allocation to winner. :wink

I have 8 US Fords right now .... since I´m a foreigner who had to work much harder to get them to Denmark than just buying locally, I would think they count double .... at least :wink :biggrin

I take that as a yes to an alloction of the new FGT .... I´ll probably have to sell both my 1983 Econoline conversion van and my 93 Lightning truck to finance it with the way people here are talking the MRSP through the roof :wink:biggrin

That would be one hell of a door prize at Ford GT Forum Rally 10.
And those GT Owners that attended Rally 1 with their GT and attend Rally 10 with that same GT get extra tickets!
y 10!

One sure way Ford could control the ADM concern and help the enthusiast have a shot at owning after the speculators and show offs get one: double the build quantity to 2,500. More company profits and less wining and dissention from the rabid Ford fans.

lets hope the high demand, convinces them to increase the supply... btw I would sign a sell back clause no problem,,,, I am buying the car to drive it... I will let my broker worry about what to invest in...
