Outstanding.
 
Re: GT350 Order Banks Are Open!

I don't really understand...contacted 3 dealers. One says they know only their allocation and to come back in July, one says they can put an order in but when they go to submit it still has a hold, another says there is nothing...none of them say anything about prices.

Bad dealer? Asking wrong questions? I'm new to Ford and ordering a car...I've given up for the day...will try other dealers tomorrow I guess. Anyone have any tips?

With only 137 being produced in 2015. The dealers you have talked to may be working on 2016 allocations.
 
Re: GT350 Order Banks Are Open!

Well and that's what I'm asking about is 2016. I figure the 15s are untouchable. Maybe those that have ordered are at dealers getting 15s and the 16 order banks aren't open yet?
 
Re: GT350 Order Banks Are Open!

Unfortunately this is typical and similar to what happened with the Bosses. You are much more focused on the GT350 than most dealers. Most only got a couple allocations and won't spend a lot of time understanding every tid bit of info on the car. Keep calling and be sure to have a copy of the order sheets you can forward to them. ;) Also remember the order banks opened on Friday, the day before a long holiday weekend and they may not be fully caught up on their emails/info.

Was it 15 order banks or 16?

Who is the best person at a dealership to talk to? Is sales manager right? Or should I try someone else?
 
Re: GT350 Order Banks Are Open!

My two dealers just called to confirm ordering is open and they are working on bidding/pricing on their 2016 allocations.
 
Re: GT350 Order Banks Are Open!

I just got a call from my dealer...allocations have, in fact, been communicated to dealers for the 16's. I'm surprised by how few were allocated. I suspect that's an 'initial' allocation and not a full-year allocation.


Backorder - to answer your question about with whom you should speak at the dealership...the higher the better. If you can talk to the 'dealer,' that's best. General Manager next, GSM if they have one...sales manager after that.
 
Re: GT350 Order Banks Are Open!

Thanks! I'll call one more today. I just feel that with all this run around I'm already behind the curve.

Re: GT350 Order Banks Are Open!

My dealer is sure the banks are not live yet. But other dealers are stating this to get deposits started. This new Shelby has so many options it is in fact 5 different cars. Because of this Ford has sent out a video explaining how to sell this car. The dealers can't order one of these and expect the right customer to show up and buy it. The video is all about the buyer ordering the car he wants. I know for a fact everyone wants their own car. Two of my friends and I have given deposits and our option list. Three orders three totally different cars. Good Luck to All ordering their new Shelbys

Can't wait to see some at the track. To the guys ordering, keeping the bosses too?

I will not be keeping my boss, most likely. I've modded mine for spirited street use and cosmetics / personalization, but I did not go the extra mile to build it into a durable and dependable track car. I anticipate doing that with the gt350. If I have space / budget / etc for a stablemate for the gt350, I will likely be looking to get a focus rs.

Too bad, really...as I love my boss.

Backorder, ping me via PM if you're still having trouble finding a dealer to work with you. I can connect you with a dealer / friend close to where I am in CA if that helps...they may have all of their initial allocation spoken for but I don't know. (I know one is taken ;-)
