Now that I have a confirmed order for a Q3 Boss, I thought it was time to join this forum. Saw an ad on Cars.com that a small dealership north of me had 2 track pack Mustang GTs. On a whim I decided to take a drive up with my HD vid cam this past Sunday and check them out. Very small rural Ford dealer, so I was rather surprised that they had 2 GT's, and that both had the track pack option. The race red had Recaros, so I wanted to see the leather variety as I had sat in a CO Boss last year.
So I talk to the only sales guy there, and I was the only other person in the showroom at the time. I explained I was an avid Mustang / Ford guy, and came up to see the 2 they had in stock. However, what I really wanted to know was if they had any Boss 302 allocations. The magic answer was yes, a Q3 build. I immediately offered him MSRP price on the spot, and without blinking, he said that he would check with his business partner the next day and call me back. Just then some other folks who were buying a Focus came in and I proceeded to go take a few videos of the 2 cars outside as well as about a hundred pictures.
The sales guy told me that he wouldn't be calling me until at least 11 the next day, as that was when he expected his partner in. Around 1pm I shot him an email asking for them to please call me back to let me know if we had a deal. About 10 minutes later my cell phone rings with an out of town NH number... He got right to the point after saying he just talked it over and also had read my email. Told me straight up the car was mine for MSRP plus a $279 doc fee... Pregnant pause... um, when can I come up and put down my deposit..? 3 hours later I had a signed order form and printed out VOC showing my Race Red with Recaros and Torsen! The 'negotiation' process took all of 30 seconds over both days!
Last year I talked to almost a dozen dealers in MA and NH, all of which wanted at least a 5K ADM. So in the end, it all worked out as best as I could have hoped. I wouldn't have been able to swing the purchase if it was a Q1/2 as the wife only recently changed jobs and is back now at full time hours with a hefty raise after over a year of part time hours at the old employer.
I still can't believe I have an order form with my name on it... Wonder if my VIN window sticker will also have my name on it, I think I have seen customer names on stickers in the past? Anyways, had to sign up here and say hello to everyone. I look forward to the coming year as much as any I can remember! Let the mod-planning begin! ;D
