Unless Im mistaken, all planned build slots are currently spoken for, making it a sellers market. A quarter of a million dollars is not TOTALLY out of the question here.

It's just their way of making sure they all stay inside the dealership so they can save money on flatbed trucks when the next recall comes along ....

Ford did nothing as tacky as sending out Billy Bob with his rollback.

They sent enclosed transports to pick up the cars, and bring them back to the repair facility. While the control arms were changed (they changed them all as a precaution, with billet machined arms that were finished to look like the other cast pieces of the suspension), they checked the cars to make sure they had no other issues.

Show me any other car, supercar or not, that was taken care of in this manner.

The posts from actual owners have shown that they were very impressed with the service, and are still very impressed with the car.

Pick up the latest MM&FF for some great road course and drag racing footage.

Nothing new. They've been doing that since day 1. However, 100k is on the extreme side by todays standards. I think most current models are selling with 50-60k markup.
