I just received a news from a friend about the price of the new Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that was released in the opening of spring this year. The price Ford put for their car masterpiece is a whopping US$79,995! I was outraged when I learned about it! How could it possibly be priced as that? Weren't Mustang supposed to be inexpensive? I thought it was built for fun! Turns out I'm wrong.
But anyway, I did some research to confirm about this news and its really true. But then, I believe the price went insanely high because of Carroll Shelby's participation in it! That additional Shelby on the cars name is the reason why they put it like that. If it was named Mustang GT500KR, I believe the price is relatively lower. When I saw that Mustang's footage on the New York International Auto Show last year, I thought it will only go for about $40,000-$50,000. But I was 30 thousand short!
Let's lay down the cards for it be priced like that. First, the Mustang Shelby GT500KR will be built for a limited number only. That means you have to rush if you want to have that. Are you serious? Secondly, I believe it was built for the car collectors. Seriously, who will want to buy that expensive for a Mustang? Those collectors will, for sure. That Mustang Shelby GT500KR is made to be displayed on the owners precious garage and not meant for the road! Lol! However, I believe the new Mustang will be sold in just a short time! Even at that high price, car lovers will really drool over its good looks. In eBay, the asking price already reach to more than a hundred thousand dollars! I saw it was $132,000!
Although I can feel that is really an insanely overpriced Mustang ever, I am still certain that Ford will get their 40 to $50,000 profit in it. A GT500 Mustang Cobra is only $35,000. And with just a few modification for the new GT5000KR it already went double the price.
OMG!
