GT 500 KR...anyone seriously interested?

[johnny--2k]

Just curious....got one coming in that will be for sale. :wooo:stare

[Silver350]

I would love to own that car but do to the rich man taste poor man's wallet syndrome I wont be able to afford one

[DirtyMax]

Damn!! Only one? I was hoping to get two at the same time. Oh well, I'm out... :goof

[johnny--2k]

haha....yes, only one. I think Griffin already sold theirs for $140,000:wow:wow:stare

[Silver350]

Yeah I will probably never see that money unless I win the lottery that I dont play

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Good lord $140k is alot of money.

[johnny--2k]

We are one of 15 dealerships in the REGION to get one, they did it as a lottery drawing. We are hoping to get an offer of 70K over list today, otherwise he will order a fully loaded one with Nav and every option.

I could save some money and buy something faster such as a porsche.

[GTSLOW]

Some people :rolleyes:

[Breecher_7]

No kidding, 140K buys/builds ONE HELL of a car.

Imagine a well equipt 60K vette, then imagine 80K in aftermarket goodies :rolf :stare

I suppose some people "Just have to have it" though. Im not one of them....

:alcoholic

[johnny--2k]

^ Me neither, but hey, I wont say no to selling it though.

We also have a standard GT500 coupe with HID's blue/white stripes. 48K i believe is sticker.

[DRK]

140K would get you a sick continuation GT-40 MKI or MKII
85K for the roller
25K for the trans axle
30K on Motor

Heh, wow. My mom's dealership is getting a Bullitt Mustang. I dunno what it costs, but it'll probably sell over sticker as well. She said she's driven a GT500 as well. Pretty sweet, I guess, but I'm not such a big fan of the new Cobras.

[Deggy]

I will be there this weekend with my check book. :durr

[johnny--2k]

bullit's are selling about 7K over sticker, the GT500 we have will probably not sell for sticker either. I've seen one sell as high as 14K over sticker!!!!

wait ..wait ...wait...you say you moms dealership....she owns a dealership...and you drive what you just bought....something wrong with that picture.....or she wrorks for a dealership....:chair:

[Reverend Cooper]

[OxmanWI]

Good lord $140k is alot of money.

Well who ever buys it...that's pocket change to them prolly:stare

I probably don't fit the mustang crowd.

I bet that one day I will be sporting a Polo shirt and plaid shorts, lest I forget to mention my college sweater tied around my neck.

I'll probably pull up to the guy with the Shelby hat and say something like "too bad, money can't buy class." Then I'll pull out my blu blockers from the overhead storage compartment, light my cigar, and attempt to pet the polmeranian that my trophy wife is holding but it will probably bite me (sorry excuse for a dog).

Of course, I will have to tell the wifey that those mustangs are a dime a dozen. The last thing she needs to know is that the mustang costs more than the Porsche. We all know the troubles that can result when miss 34DD finds out that the guy with a comb-over under his baseball cap has a car that costs twice as much as mine. Next it will be a vacation home in Key West and a new Benz for her.

I swear, for the rest of my life, it will be "but if that fat guy could afford that, why cant I have a..."

You can get a supercharged Viper for HALF that....and it's much faster:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

[slickwilly]

wait ..wait ...wait...you say you moms dealership....she owns a dealership...and you drive what you just bought....something wrong with that picture.....or she wrorks for a dealership....:chair:
lol she just works there. I guess I should've been more clear. Besides, even if she was rich, she wouldn't buy me a Mustang. :(

[johnny--2k]

haha....too funny.

Yes, you can get a supercharged viper for half that cost, which I would take if I had the money, but if I wanted the exclusivity, I would dish out the coin if I had it. Only 1000 being built.....

[HITMAN]

So, what you're saying is, just because they're making 1000 total units, it justifies the asinine mark-up? What if they made a special production run of a blinged up hi-po Focus and it was limited to 1000 units. Would that also justify a 100+% mark-up? It's a Mustang, for Gods sake. The 2000 Cobra R was limited to 300 total units. It's a far more limited production vehicle, as are all of the R code Cobras, yet the asking prices weren't then and aren't now anywhere near as high as this friggin' thing. Whatever. You guys can ask any price you want, but IMO anybody that pays that much for that car is an idiot. I'd like to know how anybody stupid enough to pay that much for a car that clearly won't be worth nearly what he paid for it for at least 20 years, managed to acquire enough wealth to allow such stupidity.

[OxmanWI]

What dealership do you work for?

[formul8]

$70K will buy a used C6 Z06....

[TURTLE]

14k would buy me a garage with quite a few neons in it :goof

i'd love a bullit, but for the coin, a cobra r with a few k in it would suit me better...

[johnny--2k]

Hey, I dont set the price man. That's the going rate for the KR right now....if someone wants to pay it, I'm not gonna stop them. It's not so much that there are only 1000 total, it's also the region. The entire midwest region is only getting 15 of them IIRC. Just look at ebay as well....all going for over $110K

And I agree. If someone is willing to pay up, then sell it!! :thumbsup

Personally, I think they are dreaming of big bux in the future and many will end up on jackstands for the next 20-30 years.

Remember, ZR1 Corvettes going for over $100K? Super low mileage ones can now be had in the mid-$20s.

cough-cough

haha....sorry, missed that one! I work at Uptown.....
