Hey guys, I found a black on black 2006 GT Premium with 47,000 miles on it. It looks clean as hell and has very little rust (it's been in CA it's whole life). I think it's had 3 owners and no reported damage or incidents. The asking price is $19,000. I know the price is probably a little bit high, but is the mileage too high? How long can I expect it to stay in quality running condition as long as I take good care of it? Sorry for all of the questions lately. I've just been looking into getting a GT for so long and want to make sure I don't buy one and regret it for one reason or another. So what do you guys think?

 

You can get that car all day for $14,000.. That milage is more then fine. For that price you would be better off buying a brand new 2012 V6. I would do way more shopping around.

many many better deal out right now then 19k.

 

I have no interest in a V6. Also absolutely no interest in ones that are modded. I'm fine with a modded exhaust or something basic like that, but I don't like the over the top tricked out look. I love the stock look. Thanks though.

 

the links I posted are v8s and one of them is SC. 19k is way over priced for that year of car.

 

why not these

Do you have photos of the car in question? what do you mean very little rust? Is the car located at a dealer? Price may be in line for a excellent car at a dealer in your area.

 

I actually live in La Jolla (San Diego), CA now. Not PA. Need to change that. And yeah, the car is from a dealer.

 

That price would have been OK in 2009. Once the 2010's came out, prices plumeted. Besides, would you really pay $20K for a 6 year old car with 50K miles on it?

My car has 67k on it right now (also an '06). The only maintenance items I've had to do on it (besides regular mx items like oil changes, air filter, scheduled fluid flushes (brake, pwr steering, trans, antifreeze)) are spark plugs at 47k (interval is 100k on plugs but they have a tendancy to cement themselves into the head and can break off on the pre-2008 cars, so I tackled them early), brakes (rear ~50k, front ~60k), and ball joints (~60k).

 

I think that is WAY too much!! I have an 06 with 56,000 miles that is in great shape and there is no way I would get 15 for it. I have a car for you to check out. I (Jessica) do the Marketing, Social Media and Web for MRT and have been a customer here since 2005 when my husband bought his GT. He has gone back to school and unfortunately we have to let "Blue" go. This car has been like a child to us! All work has been done at MRT. We are in Michigan but would work something out if someone out of state were to purchase this it. Check out this link http://www.mrt-direct.com/gubachy.html If you have any questions contact info is listed there. He was asking $23,000, I believe he has dropped it to $20,000. Beautiful car that needs a new family.

 

There's plenty of 06 Mustangs out there for a lot less money and no rust!

 

I'll sell you my 2009 with 21,000 miles for 19k

 

Again, all the ones being posted are modded to hell. I don't like that. I looked up the car on KBB and it said the value is around 18,600?

 

Have prices gone up on used cars? Because 3 years ago I bought a used 2008 GT for $18,500. It only had 13,000 miles. It was a manual but a premium. Leather and heated seats. No mods. This sounds way to high or the miles. Also the fact there is a new model and a new engine out. That was not the case when I got mine. I agree with $14,000 being the max I would pay

 

The used market is definitely heated up, on all kinds of cars. And with the new Mustangs being so expensive (A V8 convertible is topping $40k) used ones are holding their value pretty good. I bought mine last summer for $16k ($17,500 after tax and license), but they were going for $19-20k at dealers (dealers will always be higher priced than what you can sell for private party for late model cars, just the way it is).

BTW, I bought my '06 last year with 46k miles on it, and I considered that fairly low miles for the year. 47k miles now isn't that many.

 

Here are pictures of the car by the way...

 

Less than 50k miles doesn't seem bad to me at all - that is one of the reasons the dealer pumped the price up a bit, I bet.

Picked up my '06 on Sept. 7, 2005. She has about 95k on the clock now. Routine maintenance done to the Ford service/maintenance list. Runs like a champ.

Lower than average miles for a 6-7 year old car, so that isn't an issue. The price is high, but if they can be talked down to $16-17k and it is exactly the car you're looking for, than it might be worth pursuing. You mention "very little rust", if it has any rust at all on it, walk away. Having had 3 owners would give me a little pause, but I wouldn't rule it out based on that alone. I'd agree that finding a stock unmolested one is the way to go (just check what you can to make sure this one was always stock, and not returned to stock to sell).

 

kelly blue book is always higher than you should actually pay same as nada. go to edmunds .com more realistic for what you should be able to buy. I would be concerned with that car having three owners, i would look for a one owner car and buy from him or her. Looks like it has the original tires that came with the car, if you are dead set on it they should come way down on price and would make them throw in new tires. Every time i talked to dealers about trading in a vehicle the first thing they say it needs tires.

 

I bought a bone stock 07GT Premium auto with 31600 miles a month and a half ago for $16200. $19000 is way too much for a 06 with 47000 miles.
