That is a certified dumbass.
or certified has more money than he knows to do with. if i had that money and wanted one RIGHT NOW, who cares.
I feel you on that but the fact is if someome that could afford it wanted it and knew how to negotiate they could have it for less.

true, most guys that have that much money didn't get it without some sort of negotiating in their life.

One does not "negotiate" on a GT. There are buyers out there willing and able to pay over $300,000 for them so no dealer in their right mind is going to sell one for much less than that. It's not like they can sell one for a little bit and just order up another one. They're going to sell the one they've got for as much as they can -- and if people are willing and able to pay $300,000+ then that's what a dealer is going to charge.
As for the "if you pay in cash" comment -- that's all you can pay for one. Ford ain't gonna finance a car of that price. Particularly one that's highly over-valued and inflated in the marketplace.

Ummm we're not talking about drag cars here  . With the same driver in all cars the GT is considerably slower than the other cars mentioned. Have a look here the biggest problem being that it's American. Are all your roads straight down there? J/K  .

Ha, I got to see the GT before it came out, when it was still the GT40 for 2003(?). Yeah I wouldn't mind having one of those cars myself, I seen one at the auto show here a few times. Also the Ford Shelby GR-1, which is a sweet looking car. With over 600hp, made of stainless steal and carbon fiber.

As a matter of fact, yes they will finance a GT. There is a lot of people that can afford it in cash but would rather finance knowing that they can invest and make more in interest on their money then the interest on the car is. Please do some research. Next you are going to tell me that no one has ever financed a new Ferrari. Fact is my dad was a sales manager at a exotic car dealership. Most people actually lease.
Also any one that pays 300K for a GT is a FUGGIN IDIOT. You can go down to Ford of Bev. Hills and have one for no more than $160k if you are serious(they had 2 last time I drove by). MSRP is $135K and if you ordered one that would be the EXACT price you would pay. Granted if you want one off the dealership lot you will pay a little more but not 170K over MSRP. Maybe for the first examples but not anymore.

Well then aparantly you know more than all the people buying one for $250+. Maybe you should sell your advice to all these rich guys that don't know they can get the car for half of what they are paying for them left and right....

Well apparently I have never actually seen a GT go for over $200K. But If you know so many people that paid more than $250K you have proof right.
Yes, the early examples went at a premium but the fact is they are not going for the same price now. So kindly STFU.
It is the same thing as the new Z-O6's. The first people paid around $85K if not more. But give it a year and they will be $70K out the door at most. Oh but I forgot you have so much experience in these cars right?

AutoWeek is full of advertisements from exotic car dealerships and there are at least 2-3 ads, sometimes more than a half-dozen, in it every week for GTs, all of which are well over $250,000 new. And they regularly change, so it's not like they're advertising the same one over and over again because they can't sell it.
Looking through it right now, there's a dealership selling their 3rd GT (previously sold #78 and #291 -- not giving the number of this one) for $275,000 (Chicago Area). Another Private Seller, selling a used one (no miles given), 'discounted for immediate sale' to $225,000 (Tampa Bay area).
Looking through Ebay not a single one is under $220,000, some are up to $300,000... Oh, well except for that one where you're buying one that "will be made before the end of 2005" for $185,000.
A local Ford dealer a few miles away has one in his showroom for $300,000.
Yes, the value of them is going down. But it is still WAY above $160,000.
If you know where you can pick up GTs for $160,000 you need to get into the business of flipping them bad boys. You'd be set for life in a month. Anyone selling them for that price is stupid when the market is clamoring for them well over $200,000. Particularly a dealer in Beverly Hills, probably the single most concentrated area of wealth in the nation. He could list them on Ebay for $60K more and turn them in a week.
