Pulled the trigger on my Shelby GT500

[Rick Shopmier]

I must be an idiot (many may agree) but when I went looking for my F-150, went to Peoria first, drove a Ecoboost and a 5.0 and decided on the V8. Peoria did not have a 4x4 5.0 so left. Needless to say I got the 99 calls treatment from them, remember they did not have the truck. Well I went early to the AZMCC meeting at Power and found the truck I liked, so told them I would come back the next day with my trade and plan PIN, see if we could deal, well after all was said and done these guys kept shooting diff. numbers without putting it on paper....I said "show me the #'s", they kept pushing to sign a blank form with nothing in writing. When I left I said email me the numbers and if OK I will return, never did. So I went to Sanderson, had my truck, sat down, looked at invoice, made a deal, then the salesman said, wait two weeks for the Labor Day Wknd we can get $2500 more for your trade, held my breath that the truck would still be there.....in the end I got the truck with all incentives and plan, my diff. went from 11k to 8k (incl. the finance credit of 1k if made 3 payments). Sent an email to Power that I got my truck at Sanderson, sorry, I can't share the reply. In the end I/you have to be happy driving off the lot, if I/you feel screwed, won't be happy with the car.

Congrats on the car!

I have been looking for a couple years for a clean 1970 Shelby GT500 and have looked at over 10 but never pulled the trigger.

Now keep that great car Joe ! Pay it off and enjoy it.

Congrats on the car! I have been looking for a GT500 in WI and whenever one does happen to make it to a dealer they throw a huge markup on it. I hate this state. Settling for modding out the 06' with a 5-speed that I picked up for just over 11k with only summer miles on it.
