Yes, here in Fayetteville the F-Bodys are not cheap. Maybe it has something to do with being next to a military base, the biggest one in the country.
I went shopping for a new Mustang, but was curious to see how much a Trans-Am was just in case i couldnt afford the Mustang. I about sh$t myself when I saw the prices on window stickers. I couldnt believe it, I called a few pontiac and Ford dealers around the area, and they were all within 700 dollars of one another.
The Z28's were cheaper, but still overpriced in my book. The guy at work thought he had a steal at 29 grand, all it was was a 2000 Z28, with leather, t-tops and an auto. He said he was going to go for an SS, but after the test drive the guy told him the one he just drove goes for 33k.
Brad tried to talk the guy down, but the salesman said that theres a waiting list for those cars and he could probably get more for it, he wasnt going to budge on the price. That was a damn barebones SS.
As for a New GT (GOt mine new in 2000) I got mine for just a hair under 20k after tax, tags and licensing fee's. And the dealership spent 2 weeks trying to find me a Performance Red GT that was new, and a 5spd.
I test drove a 2000 black 5spd GT, Fully optioned, everything. After a week they called me and said they had a deal. They said if I could be colorblind, and sign the papers that day, they would sell me the car for 18,900. Everyone thinks I'm retarted for not taking it, I kinda feel like it, but I had to have RED, had to be Performance RED. RED RED RED.
