Buying a 2007 Shelby GT500, special ordering?

Question

In May or June I am thinking of purchasing a 2007 Shelby GT500. I am waiting for the high prices to go down a bit.

But will I need to contact my local dealer and order one months or weeks in advance? How does that process work?

Answer 1

I sell Fords. My dealership has already sold all 3 Shelby's that we were allocated.
You probably could still find a dealer that hasn't used their allocation, but that won't be easy. Waiting for prices to go down?
That probably will be a very,very,very long wait.
Currently you can bid on a new one on e-bay. Some dealers used their allocation by ordering units for stock (not a special order like you're thinking). After receiving the vehicle, they then proceed to auction them off. They are currently selling anywhere from $12,000-$30,000 over the manufacturers suggested retail value.
So if you are serious about buying one, you need to start looking NOW.....also you are talking serious money.
I could help you find a dealer (I have access to all Ford dealers in the U.S) however this is not an easy task & dealers are not going to negotiate. So if you are serious & have the funds, you can contact me.
If not, please do not contact me because I only get paid when I sell a car, not when somebody else sells a car.
I'm not trying to be mean, it's just the way it is.

Answer 2

your probably already too late for an 07, check with the dealer, and I don't see the ridiculous prices going away anytime soon.
