Yeah, it seemed too good to be true. But why would you advertise a price for a car, that already has an engine and trans in it, but quote a price for the car without that engine or trans???

I think, because you seem so very enamored with the yellow SPF, that you should inquire as to the final price with engine and trans.
While you're at it, can you ask about the F430's price too?

Well you're, admittedly, pretty savvy about pricing, advertising, and the like. Why would they post the $42.9K price? If I said "remove the engine and trans and I'll take the car for that price" would I still get it?

Touché Patrickt, well stated, lets see how the answer comes back from the dealer, I am betting it will be no.
In the trade such pricing tactics are called teaser pricing just to get the punters into the showroom.

Dang, I hate that fine print stuff.  But while I have you here, can you tell me the true price for that yellow Cobra, FOB your doorstep? And second, does the warranty on that Roush engine run from the date one purchases the car, or does it begin at some other time?

Well now that's an even more pertinent question in light of recent Roush warranty claim threads...
Patrick - your wisdom clearly outranks your judgement
A yellow SPF cobra with polished wheels, it looks like an MTV pimp my ride Cobra. & how will you manage with only one rollbar?

Let me just take this thread to the top in the hopes that THE MAYOR will answer my two questions regarding that beautiful yellow SPF.

This time I'm not razzing anybody; I'd really just like to know the true price of the car and when the warranty on the engine starts to run.
