Default WTF are dealers thinking!?

So i was out killing some time the other day and stopped in at my local Ford dealer because he had a alot of very nice stangs in the show room. (3 Shelby GT's, 1 GT500, and multiple Roush's) But when I looked at the stickers my jaw hit the floor...$51,000 for a ****ing Shelby GT! $67,000 for a GT500!I dont know about you guys, but I get so pissed when I see how much dealers are marking these cars up. I mean a $25,000 markup on a GT500...thats insane (not to mention enough to buy a brand new GT). These dealers are just raping people because of the Mustangs new found popularity. Its hard to even find a decent used GT thats not way overpriced. Its annoying how the dealers are destroying Fords original plan of making powerful, moderatley pricedperformance cars for the "average" joe. I think there should be some rules/regulations when it comes to marking vehicles up...its going beyond the point of supply and demand and turning into robbery....

As long as people keep paying it, they will keep selling it. Don't blame the dealers. I personally don't like the GT500, the shelby looks better. I'd take the 5.4L, but they can keep the factory blower.[:'(]

They are hopeing someone walks in falls in love and strokes a check.
My father in law left his 06 c6 vette in my garage for a year and I drove it twice. I felt like I aged 30 years every time Ipushed the ignition. The cool thing was when I drove it I DROVE it hard unlike the Geritol crew that normaly rolls the Vette at 2 mph under the speed limit.

Speak for yourself! I will have all my hair until I die. There's viagra for the rest. I've been meaning to try the stuff. My pepe isn't as peppy as it used to be.
