I am a newbie to this site. I have been doing a lot of reading on this subject and ask member input.
I have a friend that owns a small town local Ford Dealership, dropped by recently to see him and talk about BOSS'.
Turns out he had just been notified that he got an allocation for a Q3 delivery BOSS Laguna Seca. Seems they have a lottery for small dealers that do not sell enough cars to get one allocation, he was the lucky dealer in his region. We talked car and price. His position is that he wanted to sell it locally to someone that would use it as as intended, he was a racer, I am too, so he put my name on the order.
He did not know what the 'market' was for the BOSS. MSRP or ADM. He certainly knows about ADM, his position was that he wanted to price it fairly and keep a happy local customer. We both agreed to look at our sources and to talk again and write an order. My checking (in the forums) seems to indicate a lot of MSRP sales, some claiming a discount under MSRP and of course a lot of comments about BOSS at MSRP plus ADM. OK guys, give me some help here, what did you pay for yours and what could you expect to pay for a Q3 delivered car like mine? I am OK with MSRP, would love to get a discount too, so let's see.
I also have two questions:
1. What is this skip shift, do not understand how that can work on a manual transmission.
2. Dealer & I thought Trac Key came with the car, my search indicates otherwise. Help on that too.
I have been a 4 cylinder, handling, light weight car fan for 40 years, current cars a Lotus Caterham 7, Lotus Elise, Spec Miata race car, OSCA MT4 and Morgan 4/4. Two years ago I wanted a 'thumper' so I bought a restored to original 1966 Chevelle 396 SS a real one. I love to look at it but hate driving it. Selling it $39,500 in case some one interested. I figure the BOSS will be my thumper and sports car combined.
Thanks for all your help, I look forward to participating in this forum and reporting on track day experiences.
