I am disgusted with these FORD dealers! they are all selling the "Right to Buy" their one and only 2007 SHELBY's I guess thy forgot how that plan back fired with the FORD GT... this eBay ad so far is the most outlandish yet. look at that Buy it Now price. remember, that is what you will be paying OVER MSRP!!!!!

In my opinion, the person who came up with this "marketing plan" seems to me to be looking for cheap publicity and nothing else. Sure the dealership is offering a fine car for sale but this method of taking bids on what a person is willing to pay over msrp is to me price gouging plain and simple. In my book this is certianly the wrong type of publicity of how I would want my name to be known.

I just wrote Bill Ford an email. This is one of the dumbest things Ford could allow its dealers to do. Anyone walking into a showroom expecting to pay around $40k is only going to leave pissed! I reflects badly on Ford, not just the dealer.

Old man Chapman (Chappy) would be rolling in his grave if he saw that ad, He died a few weeks ago and his kid is running the show now. He is also selling a "USED TIRE" are things that bad at the ranch. I guess it is Greed...
Chappy owned a horse called Smarty Jones, I'm sure you heard of him....

Here is the computer generated response I received from Ford. They care so much about customer sat that they don't even read the queries. I wonder where in India Razia lives.
