I can't decide whether to buy a new Mustang GT or a new L. Now my questions are:

*How much is the cost of a new L? In my area, where SVT dealers are scarce, the competition is pretty strong. Dealers are taking advantage of it by putting a mark-up of at least $5,000 (wow that's a lot of aftermarket upgrades). The GT on the other hand cost about $30,000.

*Is there a way I can bypass this "mark-up" thing?

*How many of you L owners had to pay the sticker price and how many had to pay the mark-up?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

 

I bought mine on a-plan for 26400.00

 

I went to www.autotrader.com and found about every L at way over sticker, even used ones. Seems like, in certain areas, they demand big money. There were at least 10 for over $34K used.

 

Talk to this guy, he's in CA also. https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/004024.html
If you're willing to drive they can be had for sticker or a little less in other parts of the country. If you have a close relative(or relative-in-law like me ) you can get "A" or "Z"(retired) plan price, $26k and some change.

I just had some one fly in from your area and purchase a silver that just arrived. He then drove it back home last night.

All I have now is a red and it will sell for sticker which is 31,400

Looking for a better paying job to support my L

 

Another member of this board from Texas purchased one from Mike Bass Ford in Ohio. They had it dropped shipped to a dealer near him for $200. He said he paid about $28,500. I bought mine there for under $28,000 (I ordered early). I talked to my salesman about 3 weeks ago and they still had one on the lot. If interested call them at 1-888-227-7033. My salesman was Elmer Scott at Ext 2250. I get nothing from this.

As of this morning Barber Ford here in Ventura had a red one for sale at MSRP. If you are interested send me an e-mail.
