New Boss

[TBone]

So I was surfing this weekend and noticed that Rod Baker Ford down in Plainfield had a new Boss Mustang. So today I went down to take a peek.

They have a white w/black stripes, the Recaro seats and 3.73 gears. I would post pics but don't see how and I don't have any of the photobucket, etc. accounts.

Now the downside, they want $20K OVER MSRP!?!?!?!?!?! Personally I think they are HIGH, LITERALLY.

You know that somebody will want it bad enough to pay that too.

 

[TBone]

yea, but the guy who bought serial number #001 only paid $1,500 over MSRP. So $20K is way to much for what I think is number 96.

That is just stupid to pay those prices. Car prices are already inflated when new. Wait a year and buy it $5000 under MSRP.

 

[Stink Star]

so take one big plus the car has (cost/performance ratio) and throw that out of the window....

 

[willizm]

Shit, for 20k over msrp the m3 doesn't sound so overpriced in that comparison

 

[Primalzer]

I don't think you can hold what some stupid dealerships are charging against the cars performance for dollar factor. All new performance cars get some sort of mark-up when they first come out. The Z06's, ZR1's, ACR's, were probably no different. Now I will admit that dealership is smoking one LARGE crackpipe, because there is no way in hell someone is going to pay $20K over MSRP.

Walk in and be like "I'm REALLY interested in either that boss mustang.......or maybe a GT AND v6.....hmmmmmm"

 

[Primalzer]

really for the money you could get both the V6 and GT, with maybe money left over to throw a supercharger on the GT.

 

[Primalzer]

Alright so Boss MSRP is 40,310 (Doesn't include the options that one has, but for the sake of argument will keep it here) plus $20K markup, $60K. Now get a basic V6 with MSRP of $22,310 (should get it for less than MSRP as well), and a GT Premium for $33,310 (Again should get it for less than MSRP) and you still have $5k give or take left over....

Only an idiot with too much money would pay that. A couple of dealers were charging 3-5K over MSRP in Fall 2004 when I was shopping for my Mustang. I was able to get the car using the X-plan which is a few hundred over invoice. The dealer that I bought my Mustang from had a GT500 for sale for a long time for 90K.

 

[Theautoguy]

The GT500 would be $10K cheaper at that markup. Some dumbass will end up paying the premium for one this early in the release.

 

[firemandan1700]

Yes and it all goes back to some idiot will pay that much and buy it for some redicilous amount over msrp

damn stealerships

Agreed Jason. Oh, and the x-plan is the bomb. I've been F150 eco boost shopping

One of the original GT500's that came in sold for something like 75K. Even my salesmen was shocked at that.

There are several Boss owners saying they paid sticker for their cars. Not below sticker but actual sticker. No mark up or "market adjustment". I know a guy that works at a dealership and they said theirs would sell for sticker as well. And I think they still have it.

I wouldn't doubt that within 6 months you hear of people getting them under the x-plan.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Maybe. I would like to get one under X-plan. haha

I want to buy a 5.0 with the Brembo package so bad. No one has one. Which is a good thing. Other wise I am sure I would own one right now. lol

I am sure if you went in and asked, they can locate one. You can take the 5.0 out to the road course

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Yeah, I want a car that I can road course. That is why I want the Brembo option. Bigger brakes, better suspension and nicer looking wheels.

Dickey is always trying to get me to come in and special order one. I told him I am your typical American. I want instant gratification. hahaha

 

[TraptPatriot]

The 5.0's with the manual transmissions have been having sooooooooo many issues. Oddly enough the automatics are doing just fine (so I've heard).

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Yeah, That scares me too. Although I would really like an auto and slap a whipple on it. mmmm Would be a great driver. But not so much for the road course. lol

Haha yea. But still, not everyone road courses. And even with an auto, it will still do alright.

I'd def. drive one.

M3s were going for nearly 100k when first released. I got mine for sticker, just gotta find the right stealership.
