- Today I explain why it might not make sense for me to purchase a 2022 Ford Shelby GT500!

That detail of 20K over MSRP changes the “no brainer”. At MSRP do believe it’s a no brainer. Not at 20K over. Screw dealers that do that.
All dealers are doing it. Even on used ones with miles. 20k over sticker. Stopped me from switching to ford.
I like your transparency with your viewers. 👍🏼
The problem with a car like the GT500, as amazing as it is, can be summed up in the fact it’s just not attainable for most people. A GT Premium yes. Maybe even a special edition like the Bullitt. But the GT500 is simply too much car. It also uses way too much fuel in the current marketplace. Regular consumers will lose their shirts if they try to keep the gas tank filled up every 100 miles or so.
I was getting over 17 before I got the chin spoiler and wing. Dropped less than 10% after that. And it gets stepped on. I’ll take 15-16 for that experience.
Took it on a 400+ mile trip. If I was under 90 I was in the 16 range.
I'm shocked. Ben wore a shirt more than once in his videos. It must've been laundry day. LOL
😆😆😆😆
Some states also exempt you from sales tax if you get a vehicle that's at a certain efficiency. Not Utah tho....
Hummer EV and Ford lightning would hit that sweet spot between fed tax rules and state.
The SHELBY name used to mean something about the car. Until Spring of 2012.
I'm a shelby fan myself when It comes to muscle cars I will admit they sound good they're mean and that exhaust rubble aw man especially the 2013 shelby gt500s they got a mean chilling exhaust too. But for me I'd just stick with a truck if I had ALL THE MONEY for lottery tickets to where I can win maybe a shelby could be my second vehicle but I get it man. Still can't even afford any of my dream trucks yet but I'm getting there. Hard work and just keep doing reviews and other stuff and it'll always be possible. Price tags are just the challenges to getting the nice things.
surprised to hear the G63 is selling for so much less now 😯😯
NEVER buy over sticker! EVER - period
What a breakdown. The Defender is more practical a ND this coming from a huge Ford guy
I get what you’re saying about a W2 job, but my uncle works as a trucker and makes over 200k a year
Most of your viewers I think and more on the Truck side of things. At one time I was all about Lambo's Ferrari's, Corvettes, McLarens . Now I like Trucks more. And customizing Trucks.
I have a GT350R and a GT500 CFTP. I'll go check out your GT350 videos. The GT500 is so crazy, but I have to say I prefer the 350R overall more.
Inflation sucks. But hey, you can afford that Acura Integra A-Spec. I’m order number #241, you can take mine….and the NFT since I’m not sure if I will actually take delivery.
2007s going for $65k. By now the 2020 GT500 should be that low with some miles.
Mercedes, AMGs, BMWs, Ms imports, Always plummet the 1st year or 2... your example about the Mercedes value dropping to $200k is normal. Richard Rawlings always says, "you have to buy it right to make money on the resale." I bought my 21 GT500 for sticker. I have been getting $25k over offers. Every Mustang, Shelby, Hellcat, Redeye, C7 Z06Z07, C8 that I've purchased, driven and sold, has made $5k-$28k over purchase price. I own a company that makes aero parts. My cars are right offs, based on depreciation. $20k-$30k each car per year covers payments, insurance, registration and any maintenance costs. I don't ever use my own money to buy a car.. 1.9% is practically free money. I banked $45k net last year selling 4 of my cars plus $50k in tax write offs..
I've been looking at GT500s for a couple of months and noticed your profile pic. Of course, it's only the grille, but, about an hour ago, I was online and saw one that looks exactly like the one in your pic. I went back and looked at the car you're selling online and noticed that it's the same one (I think) for sale in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Just an observation, I thought was pretty cool. Btw, if it is yours, it is absolutely stunning.
I would never pay 20000 over sticker even if I was a millionaire. Greed is what it is !
Carmax sells used low mileage ones close to $100k. Those have MSRP in mid $80’s. Dealers decide the prices not Ford. Carmax will sell you a warranty too! After taxes and fees
over $100k. Way too much !
You'll never see the title
@@icyhotmike - Yep
You can still fully write off the gt500. Irs is won’t even know. They’re so understaff
What about the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT hellcat red eye I mean the one you reviewed in 2021 was like 82,000 so it's significantly cheaper than the GT500 and it would be fine to have two hellcats
Raptor R instead, same engine off road
Review the 2022 ford expedition xlt not the xlt max
From a Business standpoint. It's better to buy a old Muscle Cars, there value go up every year. You can go buy a Badass Car that has over 1,000 Horsepower and turns heads everywhere you go. Half that price. But being a Retired Professional Mechanic and a Gearhead all my life. There's things in life that money can't buy. Drive a car of your dreams, while driving enjoying yourself think of how to build your company. Use the car as a asset that money can't buy.
Damn Ben how much are you making
The thumbnail pic is clickbait
🤭
As a Ford dealer myself that has a GT 500 Heritage Edition in route, keep in mind Ford charges us a 2000.00 enrollment fee each year to be an SVT dealer. There’s is only about 3000 mark up in a GT 500 + holdback. If we sell you the car at MSRP most customers can flip it and make 10-15 grand. Great cars in high demand and super low supply always bring a premium.
I'm happy with my Ford Escort 👍
Yeeeeeah im not sure how many peeps would tune in to GT500 vids. That Z behind you would garner more views IMO. I could be wrong but that's my guess. Dont get me wrong I love the GT500. And I just spent 120k on a LC500 OVER the 911 M5 and E63. I know I'm stupid it makes absolutely no sense but I looooooove it. For pure speed I hop on my V4S or RSV4 and run from police. So I'm good.
I never spend over MSRP and when I buy a used car, I look at MSRP and calculate down
Ben, do you have some kind of hacker/spammer replying to our comments on your channel about winning prizes?
Ford Dealerships are outrageous right now and I'm personally staying away from. I have nothing but ford's and at this point I'm seeing Dodge as my new special vehicle purchases for american cars. Every vehicle is 15k-50k over MSRP in my area.
Base BMW 230i starts at $36k. No dealer markups either. Look for a minimally optioned one. Also the Mazda 3 Turbo .
those carbon fiber wheels break easy, might as well use candle wax.
You should get the new F150 lightning lol
Might have to sell the TRX 😅
🔥💪⬛👍🔥 FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING IT'S BETTER TO JUST GET THE DEFENDER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BROTHER👍 ONLY GET DA' SHELBY IF YOU'RE JUST GETTING IT JUST COZ...😁👍 YOU'RE 6,000 LB BUSINESS IDEA SOUNDS MUCH SMARTER FOR NOW.., SORRY FOR THE LONG ASS LUV LETTER 😬🤭JUST A BIG FAN OF YOUR'S THAT'S ALL 👍😁
Just try to get a ford raptor r 😭😭
this aged well... market is fomo. But I also feel this is temporary. Currently, I think there is a big downfall ahead and I am trying to pay my GT500 off to sell it before the drop happens.
Whatchu talking about? Used car market drop for high price loans? I’m looking at gt500’s. Should I wait?!
The G-Wagon for sure is the way to go! Love them!!
Id vote no on the "deal" but its your deal not mine.
Wtf does Ben do for a living besides youtube I mean he's only like 23 yrs old
What !
All I heard was excuses. I just bought my 2022. Paid $20k over. Didn't hesitate.
Got mine at msrp wouldn’t pay 20k over
@@squiddie7830 sounds good but i called every dealer that had my spec and they all had markup. i dont know where yall find carbon packs at msrp.
@@MakingItHappenMWC I got my price locked in from ford and they just shipped it to the dealer near me and all I had to pay the dealer was taxes and registration
There’s not a mustang made that worth that
WELL BROTHER MY SUPER SNAKES ARE AND THERE ISN'T MANY CAR'S ON THE STREET THAT CAN HANG.
@@anthonylaudano9751 super snakes are nice but in the end it’s still just a mustang that 95% of people couldn’t tell if it was a v6 or v8.
@@randybowen7044 YOU'RE SO CLUELESS LOL DON'T BE HATER.LOL BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT LEVEL.LOL
@@randybowen7044 WHAT YEAR IS YOUR KIA LOOOL

Don't do it
Stick to trucks
I can’t even get a loan for 5k, I pay cash for everything
