Can anyone help me with placing a deposit?

small dealer allocations for the 05-06 GT

can anyone tell me if small(as in town of 10,000 people in Kansas) dealers got allocation in 05-06 cars or were able to order one back then? Curious as if these new cars might be signed order specific deals.
Thanks

I know dealers who have already taken deposits, one particular dealer has taken three deposits thinking they will get three cars.

My car was ordered new by a small Ford dealer in Lincoln, Illinois towards the end of the production run when the demand softened. If I'm not mistaken, Ford allowed all the dealers to order the car towards the end of production in order to move them.

Completely the wild west...I'm on two list with local large dealers. I don't like my chances and at the end of the day I don't think a list makes any difference. The biggest fish or the first one there with the check for the largest amount over will get the car. I'm not putting a deposit down. Hopefully, I'll get one near the end of the run and frenzy. The most concerning issue is I have is the non-professional approach I've encountered at both large dealers which have been historically "THE" performance dealers in Denver. Neither sales person in their "performance sales specialist" position knew anything about the GT or GT 350R. The one guy stated that they would get a few as they had sold "3 or 4 GTs just before they quit making them a couple of years ago". Then he goes on to tell me the GT350R will be a $20K over type of vehicle...goes from knowing nothing to knowing the most important thing to him: what it's gonna cost over sticker. The other "specialist" stated he'd find out more about the "GTR" and see when he could get me one.

I'm just disappointed with realizing what little I know is more than the both of them combined, but neither one can wait to get their hand in my wallet. I get it if you are selling the Focus or F-150, but these were supposed to be the dealership "experts". More than likely, I just got sent to the "next guy up" for a customer. If Lincoln can "Black Label" a $80K SUV, then I sure hope once the dealerships get informed, Ford approaches the halo car similarly.

The Tesla business model is looking better all the time. This kind of garbage kills brand loyalty.

As a small Ford Dealer I never could get an allocation on the 05-06 GT's. Ford just told me I was too small to get an allocation. As I stated in a former post I went to numerous Ford Dealer shows during the production of the GT's and sat in the audience while names for 3-4 were drawn in a lottery. You had to be there to win. I would leave very Pissed off every time. I purchased my 2006 GT,from a friendly dealer in Abilene, Texas (out I'd the kindness of his heart) because he knew I would purchase and keep it forever. Keep in mind my Dealership was the first Shelby Dealer in Texas and second in US. Made no difference to Ford, I was too Small. I repeat: A small Dealer will never get an allocation from Ford on the new GT. Anyone is stupid to throw a deposit to a Dealer at this time. Listen to Dave and I. We're just being honest. As of today Ford dealers know less than any of our Forum Members about this GT.

You just bought a Mustang GT, most can't tell the difference.

I am on the list at one ford dealer.

I called 3 other dealers 2 of them wont do anything and 3rd already said they will action all if any of the cars off to highest bidder.

It would be really nice if they do let OG GT owners have a shoot at buying a car. Shit we waited 10 years for this one.

Aren't they the same thing???

Talk about thread derailing. So far, nobody has helped the OP relieve himself of either his deposit or the deposit of his love.

I'm on a virtual list from the largest dealer in Vegas and a very large car nut and collector (he's at BJ this week) but that list is worth the paper it's written on. From what he says I'm obviously not the only one. And I'm certain that unlike Colorado water law, this is not a "first in time first in right" list. I'll get a chance to talk to him to see what he really things is going on later. It's going to move at the speed of lava so I'm not too concerned about things changing out from under me. But I figured its better to get on a fictional list earlier than later.

I know,,, just wonder how us mere mortals could ever get one of these, if the production numbers are anything as they predict (300-400 / year) I doubt any dealer would get more than 2?? if that... how much over sticker would they expect?

lets hope the demand hype, increases production numbers.. even at 300k plus I feel they will sell real fast.... at least for the first two years.

 

[davefordgt]

so I called a pretty big ford dealer and they told me they would get 2 1 for each dealer they have not sure how true that it and the owner is taking 1 and would take my deposit for the 2nd one.

they are calling me back tomorrow with deposit amount and details.

I bought my dad a 2015 F-150 plat truck just rolled off the line yesterday. his dream truck fully loaded about $63K so I guess that helped lol and did tell them I bought a 2005 GT new back in the day.

lets keep fingers crossed this works out.

Secured the first allocation for my dealership today. Always wanted a GT but never bought one. Excited to join the club!
