Remember you said it, "The Best BANG" For the buckjordanvraptor said:2003-04 Cobras are still the best bang for the buck...
I got dicked around a bit after I bought my car from there. It has kinda left a sour taste in my mouth, and I won't go back there. I am thankful that I was able to get started with my first ever car purchase, but they could have been more tactful in getting me a better deal. Since I was in desperation, I took what I could but will not be returning. I went to Landmark on Friday and almost left the lot with a 2003 GT in Redfire, but the salesman told me that I would take too much negative equity on my car, that he didn't want me to eat it on the deal , and to come back in about 6-12 months. He said my credit is taking shape well, that I have done a damn good job on making my payments on time, and that he would be able to hook me up when the time was right. I know I could have left the dealership with the car, but I would have gotten screwed and I have to give props to him for being upfront with me.autoX said:Just got back from Beaverton Ford.
Nice car and even the sales people were pretty nice about us looking at it - at first. But then the sales manager came out, locked the door on us and went outside to chew out the sales people for letting us look at the car!! What a ... jerk!!
Anyway, just had to vent. I'll never buy from that dealership as this isn't the first time I've been treated like crap there...
And what the FOCK is a C series vette???
Since when is a corvette a muscle car?
As much as I hate to take Paul's side on anythingalmostblown said:C6 sound familiar? How about C5? C4? Go on? Right now theres a C6 and a Z06. Generally, if its not a C series, its a Z06, or vice versa (in the last 2 years, atleast). Sorry if I confused you.
almostblown said:I looked at the C part of it as the base model for the generations, with the Z06 and the like being a higher model. I realize C probably stands for Corvette, but if the numbers were just the generation, and since we're already talking about a Corvette, wouldnt the C go withoutsaying? Wouldnt we say a 6 Corvette? Or 5 Corvette? We approach things different, and from the way I saw it is, it wasnt confusing.
If we are not going to call a base model Corvette a C6, what are we going to call it?
TheRedBlur said:everybody is complaining because the Shelby is painfully overpriced, and at that price level, you can find better cars. It makes ford look bad to the know nothing consumer, like they can't easily pull off a good sports car. Fords fragmentation of SVT hurts Ford's performance image, and the dull lineup of normal cars will put Ford further into the red. It frustrates all of us.
The terminator was a great car because it was fast, and it was cheap, not only that, but there was a ****load of them made, so everybody see's one at the gas station, hears a story, etc. We gotta see the shelby around, and for that price and limited availability, you're only gonna find the types that do "bumper bra" mods, and chat on the forums about which wax is better, etc. and you'll hear a lot of "sorry guys, looks like it's gonna rain, I dont drive her in the rain, so I won't see you at the meet, or I'll bring my ranger instead" Why even make the car, or buy it for that matter? If you were the type who wants to keep it pristine as a collector, you damn well better be concerned about resale.
I think that's why we're bitchin about the new shelby.

BLK_DVL said:The GT500 is set for higher production numbers than the 03-04' Cobras, from what Ford is quoting around 7k per year for the next 3 years. The 03/04's had a total prod of like 16k between the 2 years (12k,4k). The dealers are going to learn really quick after about a year of how supply and demand works out of their favor sometimes. Same thing happened with the Terminators- how many of them were sitting on the lots at the end of production and they were gouging them 5-10k over.
Why anyone would even consider spending 70k on the car is retarded, when you could just as easily buy a C6(reg with lots of mods or a Z06) or even put you in position to buy a Viper at that price range.

SVTdriver said:So you missed the initial surge of dealers asking minimum of $10k over on the 03's? I tlaked to a guy at the dealership who bought his at $15k over MSRp just to be the first one to own it.
