so why wouldnt ford give the original owners of 05/06 cars first crack? it would certainly show brand loyalty from ford to its customer base, could you imagine the look on the ferrari and lambro guys if they found out that in spite of the ford gt speculating to sell for thousands over msrp that ford is making an effort to sell it to its most loyal customers at best price possible? what would that do for fords image? and realistically how many original owners would take advantage of that? as a small group of ford gt owners here on the forum I like to think we were somewhat significant in portraying the car and keeping it in the limelight in the last 10 years. certainly guys like peak and mark and even mullet amongst many many others have had a big hand in keeping the cars relevant and always in the forefront of automotive interest, I thinks its time for ford to acknowledge the efforts of the ford gt forum in portraying its iconic car in the best possible light and give first crack to it most loyal customers ...... who knows if more people kept writing bs like this it just might happen
I look forward to part three where you explain how critical the dental constituency is. :lol
Ferrari guys do buy at msrp. Almost every premium car dealer sells at msrp regardless of how hot the car is to their best clients. It's only the US brands that I have experienced gouging.

"gouging" depends on if you're the buyer or the seller. Money is the medium not the equalizer.
I take it you are a dealer?
It's really not reasonable for a dealer to charge more than the manufacturer intends. That's the reason for MSRP, so dealers don't take advantage of their markets and/or situations. It's also the reason all premium brands sell for MSRP, from Lafite to LaFerrari. In retail, over the long term, MSRP is really the holy grail but every once in a while, something so special occurs that the short sighted and greedy can't help themselves but to take advantage of the situation. These groups rarely make it to premium status.

totally disagree, no one can relate to leno's or seinfelds, but everyone can imagine having a license plate that says mullet
Devil'a advocate, if all cars sold for MSRP, I'd suggest dealers would be pretty happy. Millions of cars sell every year for thousands less than MSRP because the market demands it. Have you ever asked for a discount? Why shouldn't the market set the price on the GT as well?

Can't Wait to see replys to this postI have 2 mill cash in hand and would pay 40k over window per unit for as many of them as 2 mill will buy if anyone finds lead on dealer allocation.
