RE: Currie Motors - Frankfort, Illinois $10k over MSRP
you don't say if there are any options on the car.
Some dealers add expensive rims, stripes, body parts that will easily raise the price by 5 grand.
But they usually don't show the total price!
If it's a $10K market adjustment go ahead and key it! LOL

Hi
This is a totally standard car
Only options were factory ones and are in the MSRP before the $10K
Theres another dealer locally, Rod Baker whos asking 35-37k but this is for Roush packages which is fair enough

RE: Currie Motors - Frankfort, Illinois $10k over MSRP
I would NEVER pay over MSRP for a car. Hell, I'd never pay over MSRP for ANYTHING. I got my Saleen for about $5000 less - so why would anybody pay over MSRP for a stock GT?? And I don't mean that as a slam on GT vs Saleen or anything negative like that.
I don't think you need to warn any of us MF'ers - we're all smarter than that
Those cars will sit there until a stupid buyer picks one up, or a SMART buyer comes and asks to talk to the GM and lets him know he's off his rocker (or her/she/her)! Thats just rediculous, but typical in the car sales world.
I bet you could walk in there today, act all interested and sincere and all that - and tell them your not going to spend any more than $24K and they won't let you walk out [8D]

A lot of Illinois Ford dealers are charging 5 - 10k above MSRP. Schaumburg, Elgin, Chicago, etc.
Wisckstrom Ford in Barrington is charging MSRP (no markup) for '06.
If you want contact info then please PM me.

RE: Currie Motors - Frankfort, Illinois $10k over MSRP
The Fox Lake Ford dealership in Il. wanted to charge me 3000 over MSRP for a custom order from the factory!
I think that is crazy that some people think they can get away with charging 3000 for filling out a form and hitting submit... I called a bunch of dealers in the area with GTs in their lots, and they all charged over MSRP, but when I heard that this dealer wanted to charge over MSRP for a custom order, that crossed the line. I can almost see how people would pay 3k for that "instant purchase" without having to wait a few months, for their order to come in, but paying 3k and still waiting 3 months is insane!
I called back to my hometown in Iowa, and asked if they'd honor the x-plan price on the GT with a factory order, the guy didn't hesitate to say yes. I just don't get these big city folk that are willing to sit back and swallow whatever fees a dealer wants to charge them.
