What does that have to do with Mustangs and other Ford performance cars?
Agreed.... here are some fast Mustangs and other stuff...............What does that have to do with Mustangs and other Ford performance cars?
He might find one of those buyers that just has to have the first one on the block. It's just biz, but I'm not one of those buyers. I can wait...I am sure the dealer asking 10k above MSRP are fishing for people with more money then brains

Harley Davidson Dealers, are stealers. My last Harley was plagued with problems.
This has been fun, enough for me to actually post. Bought a 68 cougar, in the late 70’s. Cougars were great cars, in 67 and 68, before they went big. XR7 390 GT. Ford and Mercury made a lot of 390s, some were dogs, but they all were good Engines. This 390 was no dog. Factory rated at 335, but way more. There was a guy on Lake Street, in MPLS, that could cut your stock wheels with a band saw. He welded a spacer in so you could mount some fat Mickey Thompson’s. It all looked stock, unless you got down behind it. Some truck springs in front, for weight transfer, good to go. Cut the wheel well lips, patched it up with three different colors of bondo. Street Sleeper! Cruised Excelsior BLVD, looking for volunteers. Paid for the car and made a couple grand. Towards end of summer, I started attracting a little too much attention. That winter, plan B. Carried that heavy ass bitch down into basement. Complete rebuild. Bought a set of really nice long tube hookers. That guy speced the cam and carb. He wanted me to match a manifold but I said no. Gotta look stock, with the hood up. He suggested a guy that sold a kit, for doing your own heads. Came with a blueprint, measurements, and a bunch of different shaped stones. Crane ground the cam and speced out the heads. Ram clutch. Spring arrives, summer campaign, still undefeated. Week night, things are a little slow. Dude paces me in a Challenger, six pack sticking out of the hood. Cute girl with him, smiling and waving. Nobody for real, brings their girl. I’ve already smoked everyone with a 383 six pack. I don’t even bother to put out the joint. We go out to old county road 18, I jump him, out of the box. He starts to pull me, WTF! I go on by and make him follow me to the Snyder Drug parking lot, to get paid. That six pack was fake! MF had a real actual Hemi! Cross ram, two fours, the whole setup.Yep, the fact I have a trade in should not affect the price of the car. Give me a good price for the car and then we'll talk trade in.
Here's how much I trust used car salesmen. Must've been around 1998-99, me and the wife were looking at a 95 minivan and we got to a price and he kept talking about this "loan fee" the bank charges (150-200?), either way, I told him, you provide proof to me the bank is charging you that fee and that it cannot be waived and I'll pay the fee and buy the car. He gives me the look and says "Let me go ask my manager". The second he gets up from his desk I looked at the phone list taped to his desk, picked up the phone and called the bank and asked them. The lady on the phone was a bit confused but answered the question - no, we do not charge a fee. So the salesman comes back and informs me his manager "doesn't really play that game", I replied, me neither, I just used your phone list and your phone to call the bank and they told me there is no fee. Pretty sure he wanted to reach across the desk at that point but he held it together and simply said "Get out of my office" to which I obliged
The manager called back two days later and said they'd waive the fee, I went and purchased the car that day for the original number with no fee, the salesman we were dealing with was oddly not around that day.
Trust no one.
Maybe in the next weird thread I can tell you how I made my realtor pay for the broken window and reduce her fee when I sold my house
