just rediculous....
Ford (F) sued for making too many 'limited edition' Mustangs - BloggingStocks
"Ford (F) sued for making too many 'limited edition' Mustangs Posted Aug 6th 2008 1:15PM by Brian White Filed under: Products and services, Ford Motor (F), Marketing and advertising When you sell something as a "limited edition," you better mean it. But it turns out that a recent limited edition of the Ford (NYSE: F) Mustang was not that limited after all. And now a group of angry Mustang buyers are taking legal action against the troubled automaker. Ford claimed that only 100 of the 2007 Roush Stage 3 BlackJack Mustangs would be made in 2007, and fans snatched them up as they went on sale. The car, which cost $59,000, was continued in 2008 and another 100 were made by Ford and Roush Performance Products. That fact didn't sit well with those who had purchased the 2007 model. (I remember the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang fanatics of the 70s and 80s -- and fans of both can be quite intense and still dote on their treasured vehicles to this day.) in the end, though, "limited" doesn't really mean anything -- the number can refer to 10 or 1,000. The lawsuit states that the value of each of the 2007 Mustangs was harmed by the additional 100 cars made in 2008. But is this what true fans are really worried about? I doubt it -- it's hard to think of these vehicles as long-term investments. Their attraction comes more from being something unique. Perhaps it's a bit of both. The lawsuit, though, is claiming more than $12 million in damages. Doing the math, 100 vehicles times $59,000 equals just over $5.9 million. Multiply that by two and you get something close to $12 million. Apparently, the entire value of all 200 Mustangs from 2007 and 2008 are at issue here. Could it really be just about money? Or is it more a matter of bruised egos? Either way, it could be expensive for Ford, which can't afford to lose another penny."

Theres no way those owners are going to get a dime... And why are they so worried about another 100? its not like they mass produced them in 08. If I had one of 300 limited editions I would be happy... This is another bullshit lawsuit and is exactly whats wrong with this country, to many people trying to make a dime off of someone else for doing nothing...

Which is the problem! Ford will shrug it off, pay these assholes, thus justifying their rediculous actions if the first flippin place which sets a precedent that I can base my Grabber Orange lawsuit I mentioned before, and win that, because the other guys did...we've become a society of bloodsucking leeches...

Oh God here we go, and to think they made other "models" Limited as well. F-150, Excursion, Explorer and you dont see thoses owners crying about the value. Theses Mustang owners just made us drop a notch on the intelligence list
