Ford is aware that speed sells and while the GT350 will ride off into the sundown there are a lot of buyers willing to pay the premium for the GT500. As anticipated whenever these high-horsepower muscle automobiles hit the lots there will be dealers that will attempt to profit from market demand and make some dollars well over the MSRP.
This ad from Koons Ford in Sterling VA has actually unintentionally utilized their “wow” pricing simply completely with their asking cost of $150,000 for a new 2020 GT500 “Golden Ticket” edition.
The GT500 is a 760 horsepower “replacement” of sorts for the GT350 and while more power is always invite the lack of a clutch pedal and a relatively significant rate increase suggests that the driving experience is very different. This is more a drag-strip beast along the lines of a Dodge Demon versus the GT350 that might offer a lot more pricey cars a run for their cash on a roadway course.
It comes as not a surprise that a Ford dealership is increasing a Mustang GT500. This takes place each time similar vehicles come onto the marketplace. But what is practically outstanding is how exactly they explain their online cost.

Wow, you guys really desire some serious coin for that GT500! And you understand what, Im not even mad. , if they believe there is a buyer prepared to spend that kind of cash on this automobile more power too them.. If no one bites, the cost will ultimately come down.
It comes as no surprise that a Ford dealer is marking up a Mustang GT500. Wow, you guys actually want some severe coin for that GT500! If they believe there is a buyer prepared to invest that kind of money on this vehicle more power too them.
In fairness, though the primary description does state it is a seven-speed dual-clutch. So if any of you in this extremely uncertain economy is seeking to invest a hundred and fifty big on a subdued automatic Mustang, I guess this is your chance.
Moreover much to every vehicle lovers annoyance, someone also at Koons Ford should have gotten a little sloppy with the copy and paste in their ad and explains their GT500 with a manual when in reality it is automatic.
