Yeah, I know. Before going to the local Ford dealership's site I checked MSRP.
The local dealership's site has two GT's one was right at $40K, the other at $45K. Because this is a less populated area, I expect prices to be higher than in big cities. But it could also be that the base model lacks too much and you have to go with (expensive) options to get a decent car, or that demand is high and they can ream you for it. IDK.
Also, when I see MSRP I'm a little suspicious. They always seem to tack on extra charges, e.g., delivery charges and whatnot.
