Money alone isn’t enough to secure the $US325,000 ($505,000) hardcore coupe, with Ford asking potential buyers to make a pitch on why they should have the privilege of owning one.
How is this legal?
It‘s a very shitty practice, but why should this not be legal? Ferrari and porsche is doing the same thing since a long time
How is this legal?
Why should it be illegal to not sell your things to people, as long as the reason isn’t discrimination?
This car is more of an advertisement than a product, so they want to choose their customers.
It also makes the owners feel like they’re in an exclusive club.
Exotics and others have been doing this for years. You could walk into a Ferrari dealer with enough cash to buy one and you would get turned down if it’s a new or exclusive model.
Heck even buying a used one is difficult.
Ford will likely be expecting potential buyers to also buy a number of other high-margin vehicles as a prerequisite to further squeeze the market.
Ferrari does basically this since forever. And their cars are shit quality as well!
You probably need to proove to them that youre a fucking duche bag thats gonna set the exhaust to laudest, deploy the spoiler and never go past second gear in the city center revving to 5k RPM going 200m between lights. To impress pedestrians of course.
I had a landlord who had to go through this for the newest ford gt. He did have enough of a social media presence and had to add his son to the application.
There were all kinds of requirements and restrictions to owning the car
He didn’t have enough followers to buy a car?
The GTD is basically a homologation special. It’s a road going version of the new GT3 car.
This was never going to be a massive produced model and keeping it exclusive like this is probably the fairest way to sell it.
These dealers are doing this beacause rich people are putting up with it, sincerly even if I had the extra money to own one of these cars that you have to buy others to get it, I would never buy them.
