Thanks to Evan's articles, I want one!

Jeff,

At this point there is no option for Gold stripes, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. We have a great source for custom stripe kits.

I don't have a problem with dealers making a buck BUT "sticker" isn't what they pay---far from it, so they're actually making farrrrrr more than sticker if they add their mark-up. C'mon how dumb do you think the general public is?

I hope you don't think that car is at a Ford Dealership. It was purchased at sticker and is now being resold.

Evan: Just a look at what is been going on with doing business, that in the past wouldn't fly. Every dealership that I gone to down here in Florida has an ad dement sticker on all their cars no matter if it's just a plain jane. I know that the Ford dealerships were taking BIDS on the GT40's when they came out, so why not the Cobra's cars be sold the same way just like the GT40's, it's a dealerships way of doing business. Why do you think that it's a positive thing that someone purchases a Cobra from a dealership who is a dealer and has no intention of racing it, then marks it up $30K from sticker? If Ford did the selling of the Cobra's the way that Mopar did it, we would be seeing all the Cobra's at the tracks. Where is that a negative post?
