Ford Dealer Offers $150,000 Marked-Up "Golden Ticket" Shelby GT500 Mustang
It comes as no surprise that a Ford dealer is marking up a 2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang. This happens every time similar cars come onto the market. But what is almost impressive is how exactly they describe their online price.
The GT500 is a 760 horsepower “replacement” of sorts for the GT350 and while more power is always welcome the lack of a clutch pedal and a fairly substantial price increase means that the driving experience is very different. This is more a drag-strip monster along the lines of a Dodge Demon versus the GT350 that could give much more expensive sports cars a run for their money on a road course.
Ford is well aware that speed sells and while the GT350 will ride off into the sunset there are plenty of buyers willing to pay the premium for the GT500. As expected whenever these high-horsepower muscle cars hit the lots there will be dealers that will attempt to capitalize on market demand and make some bucks well over the MSRP.
The ad from Koons Sterling Ford in Sterling VA has inadvertently used their “wow” pricing just perfectly with their asking price of $150,000 for a new 2020 GT500 “Golden Ticket” edition.
