Pulled the trigger on my Shelby GT500

[JoeT]

Took me 3 days fighting with the dealership to get the price and payment I wanted, I walked 4 times over 3 days and finally got them to make a deal. It would have been easier to pull my teeth with pliers!
They treat these Shelby's like its the last car they'll ever own. Car had 21 miles when I drove it home. It was absolutely filthy and still is. Peoria Ford is doing construction and this car is full of over spray.
I felt it before I bought it but did require them to clean it since most dealerships cant detail a car. I got most of the dirt off in all sorts of weird places and still need to clay bar the car, Ive found some pretty good scratches
I didn't really notice in the light I was looking at the car, it seemed the car always ended up on the driver side away from the sun. You can see someone tried cleaning the car or California dusting it with dirt on the vehicle. Leaving some swirly scratches in the clear coat.
If someone knows a great detailer that knows a buffing machine well, Id be willing to give them a shout.

Im pretty stoked. The problem for me now is the Mustang chase is over, this will be my last one for awhile. At least for 5 years! Im going to pay this one off before I do anything else.
Every Mustang enthusiast should have the chance to own one of these, the power is amazing, and I'm really digging the Grabber Blue. Big chance from my last 3 gray cars.
This one has the SVT package and the electronics package.

Well Im not a big racer but we'll see how it goes. I am just getting used to shifting again, been a few years since I drove a stick, but the Shelby is very easy its almost like not shifting.

I didn't pay MSRP, but close, but they also gave me retail for my 2010. I'm pretty happy with the payment I have and I freaking love this car. Ford got the exhaust right on this one, they even got rid of the 4x4 look with the Shelby.
Ill definitely be joining Team Shelby. I want to look into getting the dash signed but I hear that takes 5-6 months!

Very nice and great choice in color.

Ive loved Grabber Blue forever. Since the 69-70 years!

Congrats Joe, My three Sons Detail!

Didn't he move to Hawaii?

NICE! I hope you paid less than sticker.

I paid less than sticker but not much. Ford dealers are very proud of these Shelby's. Bell Ford having a 13k markup called Market Value Adjustment is a joke.

I'm not sure I can make the Berge show. Actually have a WWM Christmas Party. What time is the Berge show? Id still like to drop a toy for the kids regardless, and taking a freeway cruise could be fun. Suppose to be rain for Thursday-Friday and maybe Saturday. As far as shifting goes the scream of the supercharger makes me forget I'm shifting, so far I'm loving it!
