2,800 built so far with only 560 being the pro model….150,000 Lightnings per year to be exact. That is what Ford has claimed.

My point is majority will see mark ups. There are states that will get Type R's that will sit because there is no market. I'm sure they will sell for sticker like the Fk8.Maybe at some point they do, but not right now, and per your previous point, on supply and demand, that shouldn’t matter… right now, the supply is incredibly low based on demand…
Either way, we will see. I don’t think ever single type R sold will have a minimum $20k markup.
I said fear mongering and drama, because people make across the board comments, based on personal experience and conjecture, that don’t speak for the entire situation. If 3,000 people of the 20,000 that bought FK8s in the US, didn’t pay crazy markups, then your point is your perspective only.
I agree with you 100%. I have no doubt this car will be hard to get, and that dealerships all over will try to take advantage. I am simply saying, it is not impossible.My point is majority will see mark ups. There are states that will get Type R's that will sit because there is no market.

The hype of the new Type R and this ridiculous market will drive the price up. Which is sad because the people who really want this car will be driven out by the people paying the mark ups.
May be sold out, but in terms of what’s built and available, that you can drive, and that isn’t just a number on a sheet, that’s 2,800. So, they can theoretically say they are building a million of them, but doesn’t mean jack until they do, and my friend got his NOW, not in 9 months or whenever.
What is the point of a forum if you can’t debate or discuss things? And does everyone have to have the exact same opinion? If by drama you mean, I don’t have the same opinion as you, then I guess I’m full of drama. Or maybe, I just disagree with peoples assertions and am attempting to show a different point of view?^ for one who complains about drama you sure bring a lot. Its like you enjoy it.

Ok Mmmbop.No, actually, its your whiny tone.
not sure 100% but I think Ford would punish dealerships with excessive markups and ship new cars out to them lower on the priority list. Also a friend said he was able to order a a new Ford Bronco at MSRP online, in person buying at the dealers do have some markups though. Also does a where you are in the country, individual dealers, stuff like that. I got my 2019 CTR at MSRP in the Boston Area where other parts of the country had mark ups. All depends where you go.Not arguing with you, that there will be markups and some crazy ones too. Just saying they won’t all be that way. I know someone who got a new Ford Lightning at MSRP, and I guarantee they sell more F-150s than Type Rs… in this market… so explain that?
I know Ford has said they are doing everything they can to handle dealers who markup. I know some dealerships have been know to put miles on their vehicle so they can then sell them as used vehicles, and then throw massive markups at them.not sure 100% but I think Ford would punish dealerships with excessive markups and ship new cars out to them lower on the priority list.
