Where to buy SVT Shelby GT 500 without 20k markup?

I realize that these cars are not currently available but does anyone here
know any SVT dealers that abide by a 'no-markup' policy?
Looking to order & purchase the new SVT Shelby GT 500 without paying a 20k
markup. Any ideas?

Sure I'll sell you mine for only a 19.9k markup.

December 9, 2005 (CNN) While interviewing an anonymous
US Special Forces soldier, a Reuters News agent asked
the soldier what he felt when sniping members of Al Quaeda
in Afghanistan.

The soldier shrugged and replied, "Recoil." (Possible Urban Legend)

I got one answer from the guy at the chicago autoshow and another answer
when I called SVT.

The former said the cars would goto SVT dealers based on how many '04
cobras they sold in an effort to stop the mark up. The later said the
cars will be split up amung all ford dealers based on sales.

If the later, odds are 20K mark ups will be rampant as most stealerships
will just mark up their one GT500 and sit on it until some sucker pays
it. If they really do put the preference on high volume SVT dealers then
there is hope, because the ones that sell the most cobras are probably
not doing the mark up BS.

I just get the feeling Ford doesn't want me buying anything from them
sometimes.

So how would someone contact Ford SVT (not their tech line) to get the real
answer?
I've called the SVT Information center and did not really get much of an
answer.

Anyone have any personal contacts at Ford SVT?

I just got the 1800fordsvt number from the guy at the autoshow and that's
what I called. Seems they didn't know people were being told to call
them or I was the only one who followed through.

I need to find a better 'ear' at ford myself. But then again, if they
paid attention to people they might be able to ease their problems
somewhat.

The bottom line seems to be that the GT500 is falling in right along
with the ol' Cobra R. Sure, Ford is making them, but there's a
snowball's chance in hell you'll be getting one for anywhere close to
the advertised price, if at all.

Ford is blowing it again - they put out a simply fabulous car but nobody
except the elite few can get one. End result - a lot of ****ed off
almost-but-not-quite customers.

They expect us to buy lesser mustangs and tauri. If I can't get a GT500 or don't
like it I'm buying something German, something old, or nothing at all.

I think the initial rush for the GT500 will drive the price up to
$50k-$60k but if they build 7,000+ this model year, like I was told at
the DC Auto Show, I think the price will level out to a few thousand
over sticker. Then next year if they do another 7,000 unit run the
price might even get below sticker. Then again I might be full of $hit.

here around ky they did the same with the 03 mach 1`s to there surprise
they still had alot of them on there lots come fall 03. on 1 lot close
by they still had 3-03 mach 1 cars with 2 new 04`s right beside them.
the 03 cars where priced at 36500.00 when they first got them. if i`m
correct the sticker price was between 29000.00 to 32000.00 that i
remember. any one here able to buy a mach 1 what what your price? mp
