Ford GT prices dropping

[DAVID GAGNARD]

I was at a Ford dealership this morning looking at the new F-250s and as I walked in the showroom I saw a blue GT sitting there so went straight to it and began looking it over,sweeetttttttt............

the sales manager walks over and I ask a couple of questions about the car,the owner has 5 or 6 dealerships in Louisiana and they were allotted one GT but somehow ended up with 2.........both are still UNSOLD........

This one is blue with NO stripes and stickered at about 156k, I asked the for the sales price and the guy told me nothing under 225k would be considered,he also said they turned down 180k YESTERDAY........ when he saw my eyebrows raise he pointed out this one was destined to be a very special COLLECTOR CAR........... MSRP sheet shows white painted stripes as a $5,300.00 option,but as he pointed out IT HAS NO STRIPES................not sure if the window sticker was a mis-print or the factory screwed up the order and did not paint the stipes,but either way the salesman said that made it "a collector"............I thought $5300.00 for 2 white stipes to be a "little pricey"............

Not sure how long it's been there, but I know it's been there for at least 2 months..........wonder how long it will be there before being sold???????

BTW: this dealership is also a Saleen dealer and they sell quite a few Saleens, they only have 2 of the 05 Mustangs on the lot and he told me they are getting full MSRP and sell them as fast as they can unload them off the transporter.........

I'll check on the GT later on and see what's the story with it,he asked if I was interested,I said very interested in it and would love to own it but just a "little short" on funds, like 200k short, he got a good laugh out of that...................
