I'm going to have to head over there to take a look at that. I saw the one they had at the auto show this past January, and it wasn't that impressive. You could get a GT500 and turn it into a Super Snake for less than $182k!:eek::eek::eek:

The website does not even show the correct car. The description says it is Black.

Their probably trying to find some "Knightrider" fanatic that wants a KR in Black. The new show starts this fall, maybe their doing some promo thing up there.:confused:

Did you ever get to Cowles Parkway Ford to look at it?

$182K for new KR? Come on, that's just greed -plain and simple. This is why car dealers get a bad reputation...That car will sit there for a year.

Personally, I think if a dealer really doesn't want to sell the car, then they should put a sign on it that says "not for sale"... I know Cowles is a sponsor of our next show, but they should be ashamed of themselves...plus anybody that pays $182K for a 2009 Mustang that's not gold plated and diamond encrusted should be ashamed too.

I went by this morning and didn't see it anywhere. I didn't have a lot of time so I left without talking to anyone about it. I am getting my oil changed later this week there so I'll try to find out where it is then.

Take some pictures too if you can.

One of the guys on Mustangcollective claims that $182K is a bargain since his dealership just sold one for $225K. Its just not worth it. Get the GT500 and make it a Super Snake like the one Rick from Springfield brought to the car show in January. That car had something like 900rwhp.

I thought the silly money had dried up. I could see KR #1 going for $225,000 at auction...maybe more if proceeds went to charity (like GT500 #1), but thats more than they were getting for Ford GT's...

The first GT500KR was sold for $600,000.00 at Barrett-Jackson. Source (http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/06/27/013030.html)

MSRP for a GT500KR is $79,995. Source (http://mustangs.about.com/b/2008/04/29/2008-shelby-gt500kr-mustang-79995-msrp.htm)

I seem to remember the KR at Barrett-Jackson. I think thats silly money too, but for VIN 00001 and for charity I think its ok.

An $80K car with a $100K premium. I guess that sale makes the dealers month....

I know that every car I ever wanted that intially had a premium on the sales price could be had a year later at sticker or below. I think its folly for a dealer to gouge customers like that.

I know I wanted a GT500 when they first came out and I talked with the owner of a local Ford dealership. I know this guy and he wanted a $25K premium....now he's got them sitting on the lot. What goes around comes around. Including supply and demand.

Jerry's had one earlier for $175,000.00 and everybody knows he's on crack while pricing cars! Just got the KB on my car from Excessive. 460 at the rear, hope I don't kill myself, or worse yet, get a ticket coming down 66.

I believe the KR from Cowles Parkway Ford is still in the show room as will.

I went by the other day and there was a big SOLD sign on the KR. I think it went for about $150,000.00

[VASCJ]

150k, stupid...sucker born every day.

Sheehy Ford of Gaithersburg has a KR for $91,990.00.

[Oldstyl]

Such a deal....is any late model Mustang (yeah, yeah GT500KR) worth $91,000?

You could buy 3 GT's, or 6 Foci (or is that Focuses?)....I think the whole idea of the original Shelby has been lost....look, I wanted an '05 Mustang GT and it was marked up $5 grand -, so I waited. Then I figured I'd spend a few dollars mores and get a GT500...marked up $15 grand - so I waited. NOW I have no desire for a either, I'll stick with my 7 year old Convertible, save $45K, and still be happy.

I understand where you are coming from. I did purchase a GT-500 with a 10,000 ADM and I have to say it was worth it. Best mustang I ever drove and I have owned a few over the years. It is a keeper!! and the bench mark that all other Mustang try to achive. There is nothing like driving a 5.4 supercharged vehicle! :)

Oh don't think there still aren't times when I think it might be worth parting with the coin for one of those monsters. But I have an adversion to spending over sticker for any car, because they always come back to earth.
