it's fully loaded and he is ASKING 74,900 for it. I would say that isn't a bad start to talking a deal....

I was in a Ford dealership yesterday (buying an Escape Hybrid for the wife) and they had a GT500 convertible on the floor with $25,000 added as "dealer markup." Gee...only $73,000 for a fnorkin' Mustang.

Good work if you can get it.

Hey, the car has leather upholstery for heaven's sake.

That seems to be the going market adjustment. Several for sale at 70K level that I've read about. What . It's still a 28,000 Mustang with a 10,000 engine. Nothing wrong with that, but when I add them together I come up with $38,000-40,000 not 70-73,000.

This is like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, two of the world's most successful and prominent 'capitalists with heart' to come around. Work your whole life in business refining methods to soak all you can from the public, then in the end, give your profits away.

Somewhere in the middle there might be the right ticket to a very powerful business model.

Kinda like some our forum dealers...

It's not a bad price if you want one bad enough.

Wish I would have known that there was a GT500 vert out there that cheap. Just paid 82,500 for mine.

It's only money. It's only a Ford.
