    Meat- My point precisely. That same 3200 sq. ft. house in La Jolla or Del Mar is going to set you back over $1 million! Temecula IS a suburb of San Diego county. The driving factor behind the explosion of development in the Temecula area is the high cost of housing in San Diego and Orange...

    Ah yes, blame the Mexicans! "We" were strangers in a foreign land once. We established treaties with the natives that we consistently broke before we killed them or shuffled them off to "choice" parts of the country. It was our manifest destiny, right? The Spanish and the Mexicans were in...

    Now we know why you bought a Mustang! Your Meth Lab Kit wouldn't fit in the Boxster's trunk! As your business grows, you're going to have to get a Crown Vic to hold all those bulk chemicals and equipment. :rlaugh:

    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    No doubt about it...these are good times. I bought my first home in 1992 with a 30-year fixed 9.75% mortgage. A decade later I got a 0 point 15-year fixed at 5%. People with cash reserves and good credit are in the most enviable position. They have choices! People who MUST borrow to...

    Can I get this sticker taken off the car?

    Gotta love dealers. Ask the customer to pay a premium price for the vehicle and then extort some free adverstising...sheesh!

    California Duster

    They work great except.... I tried using mine in Las Vegas, Phoenix and it didn't work at all. Then, I used it in Baja California and only the bottom half worked. When I got back home to the City of Angels it worked like a charm again. Bottom line, it's fantastic but it only works when...

    So I got my DORA...

    That's interesting. I spoke to my rep at the dealer where I placed my '05 order and he said that if my order does slip to an '06 there is no new paperwork for me to complete. Who is right/wrong? You decide! Just get me my damn GT! :mad:

    Con, I think you'll find more Cuban and South American immigrants in Florida than Mexicans. Your concept works the same. According to Wldchic, the Mexican immigrants prefer "Norte Mexico"...formally known as southern California. I believe we control the Porno market too. Maybe you should...

    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    How many people do you know who have been in the market consistently from 1945 through 2005? Duration is the key. If you look at the S&P 500 from 1926-2003, the chances for a negative return varies greatly for rolling 1, 5, 10 and 15 year periods. For example, there was a 29% chance of a...

    Anyone else anxiously waiting for the '06?

    The dealers are doing what they are always trying to do...maximize profit. That doesn't make the car exotic. You don't see Lotus making 192,000 Elise to export to the US do you? My point is that production WILL catch up to demand and eventually pass it at least slightly. Those who buy under...

    Otta be a law.........

    I could be sold on a set of tasteful 20" wheels but I was referring to the chromed out "dubs" with floaters and spinners. I don't think you'll see anything coming out of Germany or Italy with those monstrosities attached! The whole "if it's bigger and shiny it must be better" philosophy is so...

    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    You missed a key phrase in my comment..."if you HAVE TO finance it you can't afford it.". If you have the cash and you choose to take low interest financing so you can invest the money elsewhere to get a higher return that's understandable. There are PLENTY of people buying these cars who...

    I think I'd like to be adopted by said parents and their "little boy" is going to want a new GT500 when they become available. Thanks Mom and Dad! :D My kids are going to be lucky to get a good and used Honda Civic and they're also going to pay for a fair share of the insurance cost if...

    $8,999.99 Dealer markup!!!

    Ah, if that were only true. I don't think we should assume that someone who pays the markup can actually afford the markup. Take a look at consumer debt in the USA. It has absolutley ballooned in the last 20 years. Here in SoCal, I know a lot of people who have taken equity out of their...

    $41.5k for a Mustang GT vert? Ouch! I hope for that price it comes with some novacaine to spread on your backside after the reaming is complete. :rlaugh:

    X-Plan Problem...

    Not true. Banks will not loan more than the car is worth. I don't know any commercial bank that is going to lend more than MSRP+TLF. That means whatever someone pays above MSRP is going to have to be cash on the barrelhead.

    X-Plan Problem...

    Good point Contrarian. People paying MSRP+ who tend to turn their cars over in 1-3 years are going to take it in the shorts on depreciation (could be upside down on their loan). Banks will loan up to MSRP+TLF depending on credit rating. But, impetuous people are not famous for thinking...

    Anyone else anxiously waiting for the '06?

    It's not going to get any worse. It probably isn't going to get any better for the next 5-6 months but unless Ford has a problem with the factory it's not going to get any worse. Remember, this is a MUSTANG! This is not a limited edition exotic car. Whoever is in charge of estimating demand...
