Pretty good price for a GT. Consider how much it would cost to ship it and or have a pre-purchase inspection added on top of your final bid price. As always with items sold on eBay, Buyer Beware!

Dude, that is an awesome stang! and I'm not just saying that because it's my color

If the idiots don't bid it up, it should be a good deal. Remember tax since you are in the same state though!

WOW, the winning bidder got it for $22,900???? I hope you were the lucky one, and if I lived 5 minutes away as you, I would have made sure I was an owner, and my fiancee' would be the new driver.

Not a big deal for a good used GT.
Passed one up in Sept with a 5 Speed and cloth interior for 22,700.
Went out and bought my new GT with leather after all the rebates and x-plan for about 24,900.

I dunno Tom, this one is basically new with less than 400 miles & appears to be Fully Loaded except the 1000 shaker. It has the automatic tranny & stripes, and I'm not sure whether those Konig wheels are factory upgrades or not, but @ $22,900, seems like a great deal to me.

That's what I thought...when I saw it today you I couldn't find one flaw on the whole car..has 357 miles!! It did say "Shaker" on the radio though....are there two different Shakers? (it said mp3 on the radio also)

There are 3 stereos available in the S-197's. The upper two models are the Shaker 500 and the Shaker 1000. The stereo in the GT on eBay is the Shaker 500, as you can see in the pictures. It is capable of playing MP3 files and you should notice a mini-plug under the armrest lid of the center console for hooking up an iPod or other music player.

If you won the car, congrats!

Well, did you buy the car, or did you not buy the car? If you did, congrats to you on a great deal, if not........

Actually, only the 2007 models come with the audio input jack in the center arm rest...

Going for <22k again! Man that's a good deal, I'd buy that car, sell the rims and have myself a GT for around 21 grand!

That is a good deal...Buy the Car...My price with the same options as you is $31,800 Canadian and that is a sale price that is no longer around...With the exchange rate, you are still saving around $3,000...I do not think you will get any more savings than that...My opinion, buy the Car if those are the options you want...
