I live near the San Leandro Ford but they're shit as far as customer service. Anybody recommend a better Ford Dealer? I'm looking at getting a GT350 this year or ordering next year for the 2017.

Message Swedensky on this forum. He's located in the Sacramento/Roseville area, but he should be able to get you taken care of on whatever you need.

Thanks guys. Right now 50deep has a better hookup on GT350s. I don't know if Elk Grove ford has any allocations left but he secured one for $5k over if I remember correctly. We are not taking less than $10k over at the moment. We have one allocation left that has already been ordered but may be able to be altered if done in the next week.

We have one R coming in.

2017 has a few color changes as well as the Track pack becomes standard and you can choose between Electronic Package or Convenience Package.

As much as I love these cars..... I don't think I could bring myself to pay over sticker for one. But on the flip side I would be worried buying a used one. Who know's how these things are gonna get treated with that kind of RPM range LOL.

More dealers than usual are sticking to the ADM, I'm on another forum with 50Deep and it seems like almost everyone there is excited at 5k or less

Talk to Dave Elkins at Fremont Ford. I bought a car from him last year; great experience. Not sure what the incoming GT350 inventory looks like there, but ask for Dave Elkins.

Fremont and Future are about 10k over for a regular GT350, it seems whoever has an R model is marking up 25-30. Ridiculous. At 68k it should handle better than a porsche but you can't really test drive anywhere. I would be worried about former owner abuse too. Every video I've seen where the car is offloaded the truck, some dumbshit gets in immediately and starts revving the engine NONSTOP all the up. If I ordered a new one I would be there right when the car got delivered to make sure nobody abused it.

Try Ed at St Helena ford. I delivered a GT350R to them about a month ago for an ex ford CEO and he said they sell all these cars without markup. Ed is one of the only sales guys that works there, they are a real small dealer. Not sure if they have the ability to get another one though.

My buddy just ordered his comp orange GT350 at the same deal I got it. And I can tell you the service I've received from Elk Grove Ford is awesome. I will make back that 5k adm in all the additional discounts I've gotten from the dealer no problem. I am in no way worried about me or my car being taken care of.

Only issue is right now NOBODY has knowledge of how many 2017 allocations they will get. That is all based on the number of regular mustang sales from the previous year. Realistically dealers may build a list, but nobody can make any guarantees until closer to 4th quarter this year. I would be cautious of anyone taking your money and guaranteeing you a car. Given the amount of money made on ADM's and unconfirmed changes for next year, prices may also change.

I talked to my dealer about it and he is not taking anyone's money until he hears from Ford what he is guaranteed to get. If you want me to pass your information along I can, but it's going to be a bit of a wait.

If anyone is interested in any other model ford let me know and I will get you setup. I don't work there or receive any benefits from the dealer. They have just taken care of me like family and the owner is a good guy.
