For anyone looking and willing to lob an offer their way......

Santa Monica Ford in So Cal has three Shelbys on their showroom floor right now.

One 350R for ADM of $40K and two 350s for ADM of $14K.

You can buy 350's all day long for msrp. I paid 73k for my r... more than a few r's have sold for 10-15 over lately and some at 5 over. Just do some home work for anyone looking. To buy one

I'm still in "break-in period", under 500 miles, but I can tell you this car is not fast on the street, but the "fun factor" is way up there. Totally different from the GT500 which I truly enjoy driving.

Drive it like its meant to be driven and get back to us. I beat my car from the minute it left the dealer and it only used 1 qt in 4400miles of oil. The car is not super quick in a straight line as its not designed to be but as soon as you push it in the corners you understand what the car was made for...

Comparing the GT500 to the GT350R is like apples to oranges. I'm well aware of the intended uses for both cars, the former being a straight line beast, and the latter being a track car. I guess the fact that I haven't yet entered the "fun zone", over 5,000 RPM, is why I made the comment. There are two schools of thought on how to "break-in" new cars. I prefer to do it the way the manufacturer recommends. Each to their own.

Living in southeast Florida is a car lovers nightmare. We don't drive here, we tailgate the car in front of us to the next stoplight, then to the next light, and so on. When I see people posting videos of two lane twisties with no other car in sight I can't imagine it. If I were 10 years younger I'd probably move to Texas. Just have too much stuff here.

Must be coming down. I was looking on ebay and prices seem to be dropping.

Easy to find for $10k ADM now. If you hunt, $5-8k can be had. There are 6 for sale at Atlanta dealers for $85-$103k with 5 more inbound. You used to have to wait months to find one in inventory. At some point, they'll realize the ADM game is over.

Saw this on Facebook yesterday. Don't know what to make of it. Seems like 2017 was an extra long model year and lots were produced but 2018 will be shortened.

FWIW, I'm just not seeing that. The cheapest R I've seen was a track car; no AC, etc., for $83,000. The rest are still well north of $90,000.

You're right, most of the advertisements are high $80s, but that's not what they are selling for. If you watch E-bay, they are getting bid up to around $75-76k. A non-electronics package car sat on Ebay for a month at $78k. There was a yellow car (not on Ebay) that sat at $10k ADM for a while and eventually sold for $5k ADM.

There's a FB page for GT350 owners where members post good deals at the dealerships, and there are dealers on there posting cars as well.

Its crazy how some are still asking over 100K for the same car.

I was quoted an ADM of 10K for a non R version. Some dealers are just out of touch I guess.
