Dude that car is nice, and at least you have a good colorIt is crazy times. I paid more for this 1 owner 93 reef blue than my 03 cobra that I bought in 2010. When I think about it, it just doesn't seem right.
But all my other cars are modded for the most part. So keeping this one near stock is my priority.
LoL no way would I buy a new car 100k above MSRP new.Everything is expensive these day. Not just Fawksbodies

Yeah that sucks. My wife had ordered her 2020 explorer st. Our local dealership doesn't mark up.Same.
Unfortunately it seems to be a common occurrence even with “normal” cars.
Local dealer has a rapid red Explorer ST (exact color/model I am interested in) on the lot for $15k dealer markup.
I hear you. Our lots are pretty bare as well. I'm surprised my lease trade in was on the lot for a couple weeks.I refuse to pay a markup. It’s bad enough the car depreciates what it does, but I’m not gonna tack on another $10-15k in the hole right off the bat. I’m also not going to buy brand new and not get what I want. Defeats the entire purpose of buying new.
I dunno how the dealers are where you guys are, but when I drove by them, they are pretty empty in terms of inventory. I’ve never seen so few cars on a new dealer lot. I’m talking easily less than 50% capacity on some lots.

What cars are you cross shopping, Mike?I'm in the semi industry and we have demand straight through 2023.....
Which sucks because I need a new Daily Driver

Is that the new, smart security system from Germany?My truck was bleeding me to death with maintenance and unexpected fixes. It was also due for new tires. Registration for trucks greater than a 1/2 ton are way more, and mine was up. Added all that up with the insane prices on the used market and I had to bite the bullet. IMHO, the used market won’t change for another 18 months to 2 years. If I could have waited that long, I would have held out. Buy a car you plan on keeping for awhile and it is what it is. The “smiles per mile” factor helps the wallet pain.
Smarter than me sometimes…Is that the new, smart security system from Germany?
I saw a few low mile Cobra's just sell for over $100k. Insane man. Clapped out rollers are now the price of what I paid for most of ,my fox body cars 5=10 years ago. I am selling less and less of the parts I have accumulated over the years as they are also now getting in short supply and prices going up.I remember making a prediction here about 10 years ago that foxes would shoot up insanely in price in the coming years. Several of the old time members told me I was dumb and that It would never happen. I’d watched it happen with 60’s and 70’s muscle cars that I’d bought and sold for under $1000 for years, and now you can’t touch any of those for under $20k. It blew my mind! Supply and demand never changes. Just the items in demand. The difference was, I’m a little older than the fellas telling me I was wrong and I’d seen that cycle already.
Huh. Foxes are going through the roof now. Weird. Who saw that coming??
