Default GT500's selling at sticker?

or is Edmunds.com just crazy?

No matter what options you pick, it says that it's selling at sticker on average. Are they right?

It seems that this is an MSRP/Invoice pricing site, even the report doesn't seem that it is giving anything other than MSRP information. It could be that there is not enough data for accurate pricing (since the 08 model is so new) or that it can not incorporate dealer markup.

It isn't correct!

It just shows MSRP for everything as the price in my area and we all know that's not likely. I bet because people are paying more than MSRP that it just defaults down to that price.

Although I've been looking for only a few days, two dealers that have one in stock are asking from 2K to 10K over sticker.[:@]I'd like to know how to get one for MSRP or less?

Not for me! Just came back from my local dealer as he just got one in stock. The salesman says "let me go find out what our usual markup is". He comes back and says "I won't beat around the bush, we usually start at 10K above and our bottom line is 5K over" I said, "I'll pay what the sticker says and we'll do the deal right now" He said five over is the lowest they'll go and I said a dealer south of here is starting at two over and he says " well if I were you, I'd go buy it right away for only 2K over". I offered the dealer that wants 2K over, MSRP but he hasn't got back to me yet.

I just finished shopping for a new 2008 Ford ShelbyGT500 coupe.
I sent emails to all Ford dealers, within a 200 mile radius of my home on the Eastern Shore of MD, as listed on http://www.fordvehicles.comTherefore, my search encompassed MD, DE, PA, NJ, VA and DC.
In my emails, I offered MSRP, plus tax and tags only. In other words, no additional dealer processing fees, etc.
I found 4 dealers, with GT500's in stock, willing to sell for MSRP; but, not a penny less. They were Preston Ford, Preston, MD; Norris Ford, Baltimore, MD; Bob Bell Ford, Glen Burnie, MD and Frederick Ford, Seaford, DE.
I bought my preferred color, and options, at Frederick Ford, a couple of days ago.
I love it.
