It doesn't appear that all that many people are willing to pay $20K markups let alone a $65,130 markup.
I really like how that dealer has his asking price @ $109,995. Obviously $110,000 is way too much to pay for a GT-500

As the market for the GT500 fades the Price will drop. So if you HAVE to be one of the first to get one and have deep pockets then bring your lube. Or you can use your brain and buy one with rebates a couple of years from now.
Funny how people do not complain when the dealer sells cars 100 over cost. Dealers make all the money on used cars and service, new cars are not as profitable as they once were.
Now if you had a product in your hands that people willing to pay 40-50k more than what you paid for it I know you would take the 40-50k.. If any of you say you would sell it for sticker your either a liar or a retard.
Simple facts are
1. the dealer owns the car and just like when you sell a car they can ask whatever they want for it.
2. owning a gt-500 in the first year of production is not something you must have, so I have a hard time feeling bad for somebody that chooses to be a idiot and spend that much over sticker for one.
3. if any of you that are complaining had the opportunity to make 40-50k on something you were selling I highly doubt you would turn it down. If I had one I would try to get as much as possible for it.

This dealer is an anomoly that deserves to be laughed at. The point is, that they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of GETTING that mark-up, so the whole free-market-they-don't-make-enough-money-on-regular-cars-the-service-and-used-cars-make-all-the-dough speech doesn't really apply in this circumstance.
Uncle Meat said:That's all very true... but in the long run it leaves a very sour taste in many consumers mouths when they see so many dealers pulling this kind of crap. Makes many people think twice about buying a Ford product ever again. No wonder the company is in such a sad state of affairs these days. The stealerships are not helping the company at all when they do stuff like this. They are only lining their own pockets and hurting the overall image of the company. F'k 'em.
