NOt really - the value has actually been steadily dropping - considering most people ove rpaid - and there are still more unsold GT's than sold GT's.

And after all that, yet another pretender falls by the way side...
Well is you find one for a very cheap price just give me a call. I'm intrested in buying one . No but seriously don't you think that after they sell the unsold one it's value will stop decreasing. Maybe not getting a profit from the car but maybe just not droping a lot from the original price.

The car was over priced at $150,000+ stupid markups... - sales figures prove it.

I can't remember if I posted this before...

FORD GT SALES
1603 Ford GTs were sold through Jan 2006
(This is 40% of the total production run)

2006 Q1 157 in Jan 2006
2005 Q4 208 in Dec 2005, 157 in Nov 2005, 165 in Oct 2005
2005 Q3 176 in Sept 2005, 113 in August 2005, 91 in July 2005
2005 Q2 150 in June 2005, 117 in May 2005, 70 in Apr 2005,
2005 Q1 44 in Mar 2005, 4 in Feb 2005, 7 in Jan 2005,
2004 Q4 59 in Dec 2004, 63 in Nov 2004, 22 in Oct 2004
(These numbers are from Ford's official monthly sales reports of deliveries to retail customers, and do not include exports, or dealers who choose to keep their cars for themselves without titling them.)

FORD GT UNSOLD INVENTORY
Approximately 900 Ford GTs are in dealer inventory
(This is a six-month supply at current sales rates)

Over 300 are currently listed on eBay and Autotrader.com alone.
101 cars were allocated for Europe.
200 are to be built for Canada.

National sales of Ford GTs have remained flat, even as many dealers haven abandoned their unrealistic prices and actual selling prices have dropped to MSRP or less. Production continues to exceed sales, resulting in increased inventories.
