How dare they try to capitalize on "supply and demand" they owe it to us as citizens to make the lowest possible profit! Revolt! Revolt!

Future Ford, just like any other Ford dealer loves to slap on huge mark ups on mustangs. I can't wait to see how bad dealers are going to try and screw the consumer when the Shelby GT500 comes out. I've always thought that paying sticker or more is foolish and if one pays a mark up than that person would be one very dumb mother fucker.

I bet you you anything that is the Saleen S281E (Extreme) model... Here are the specs

"With 500 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, Saleen says that the E promises to show its twin center exhaust pipes to plenty of sports cars boasting much higher price tags.

Saleen estimates that the E will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and run the quarter-mile in about 12.1 seconds at 117 mph." ...source Ford.com

If it's the 281E model with 500 hp then it isn't naturally aspirated like the one for sale at Future Ford for 70k.

---

Maybe it's a super special dealer option w/ a second motor in the trunk??

I'll look again later today but I'm almost possible it wasn't the extreme model.

How much did you want to bet, Apex?????

Future Ford marks up any kind of limited edition, high demand vehicle they have. They wanted $100k for a 2000 Cobra R.

Posted by twisted54 (Member # 1981) on :
 
It's not an extreme...they say it's naturally aspirated and pumping a stout 330hp roughly.

"one milllioooon dolllaaaarssss" or a free dyno pull. j/k

It's funny that you guys get so wound up about mark-ups. It's part of the business. There is a saying that says "there is an ass for every seat". And to further that quote, we just sold a GT for $299,000.00! That's right kids, nearly twice the MSRP. Yes, the same buyer could have bought one off ebay for around $175k, but they didn't - go figure.

Now, I don't care for the sales side of my dealership (or any other for that matter) and by no means am I justifying the price, but they are no different than people on here that ask too much for the parts or cars that they are trying to sell. If they get their asking price, good for them. If they don't, the price gets adjusted. Same goes for the Saleens and Roush cars. I've seen a few of each get sold over the past couple of weeks, and I would bet the mark-up was high.

I understand markups and agree that someone will pay that much for it...I was just shocked to see how much it was...hence the eyeballs popping from my head.

That is crazy for a NA Saleen! MSRP for the NA Saleen Verts are about $42K.... Future Ford is CRAZY trying to get a $25-$30K markup.

Yep Barret Jackson Action, they put up the first new Cobra for Charity. If they think because someone spent that much at Barret Jackson Action they can do what they want..... If they charge 120K for the Cobra they will be the laughing stalk of the bay area.

I was in FF in Concord waiting to get my truck out of service and I went into the showroom. They had a yellow SC 05 Saleen in there with the hood up and I was checking it out. I was looking at the plenum that sits on top of the blower and was wondering why the paint was flaking off at the ports. And up walk a salesman, he points to the plenum and says "this car has a supercharger, most people think this is it, but it is really under here(as he then points under the plenum). I had never even seen this guy or said one word. I just wanted to pimp slap him, tell him he was an idiot and to shut the F up. I would bet that my 10 year old daughter knows more about cars than he does! I hate car salesmen like that. Back to the intake plenum, it sure looked jacked up, like something was leaking and eating away at it.

I heard that they have stickered their GTs @ $400k+. That guy that bought in Sac must have felt good about paying 299K for his, he really talked them down.
