Dark Horse - Dealer Premium

[NJStang]

Hi all - was hoping to get your input on this. I was trying to place an order for a DH earlier today but quickly backed out when the dealer told me I can expect a 15k - 20k markup over MSRP. Is this what you guys are seeing? Seems a bit over the top for me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Seems to be between 5k and 20k markups unless you ordered back in late March. I wouldn't pay a dime over MSRP.

Also, seems to be a pretty long wait if you order one now. Paying that much over retail and getting the car with snow on the ground would suck.

With the economy being what it is and intrest rates high one need patience as things will settle down to more realistic levels.

In and all around Michigan, when the banks opened on 3/27, everyone was between 5-20K markups for me.

With a premium GT it’s damn near a dark horse. Not worth the headache at this point.

getting the car with snow on the ground would suck.

Probably wouldn't see a Dark Horse order placed now until much after the snow is on the ground, I would guess Spring 2024.

Is Granger out? They were selling DH at MSRP.

And ford will raise the price three more times within this model year

The 1st dealer I went to told me the markup would be $10k to $15k. I called another dealer who had never heard of th DH and they agreed to MSRP. That was on 4/8.

Granger had a list greater than their number of allocations even before the order banks opened. They've worked through some of them (myself included - was lucky enough to get an MSRP order in from a much more local dealer on opening day), but you can always ask to get on Granger's list. You might have more luck just waiting til DH hit the lots and find one that a dealer hasn't moved yet.

$20k LOL.. Wait till the tuner companies come out with their offerings on a GT/package car with forced induction if you really want to spend that kind of coin.

Pausing until MY25 is probably best.

The economy, auto market, new model interest, Ford dealing with first-year issues and on-going supply chain problems are influencing the use of ADMs.

Unless having a first year of the mark is important, I'd wait as late a January 2025 to order. The hope is things will be a bit back towards normal by then.

Either way It is a wait and a gamble,

It is driven by your dealers location "Market adjustment" many dealers only get one allocation, meaning they can only get one. Where you are one would guess that's pretty standard.

I have seen posts in some parts of Texas 15 to 30k.

Have also seen on multiple posts across different forums that this has not stopped many orders. Also order banks close 8/1 for 2024.

A GT is good, but will never be a DH. Best of luck on your journey.
