Picked up an 07 GT loaded with 7000 miles. It has heated leather, shaker 1000, manual transmission. It is like new and not a ding on it. I got it for $19,700 from a local dealer.
It is my midlife crisis car so I'm told, got it on my 47th birthday. I'm picking up a C&L street CAI in a few days, I'll be tuning it also. It's my DD and I only have 15 minutes to work so I'll be keeping the miles down.
I'm learning a lot on the forums.

They wanted $24,500, I spend some time selling cars. It helps me in my car buying, that was the only good thing that came from that job!
I've been getting ready for the full spring detail. I got the Mothers clay bar kit and 3 step wax system. I also got a pretty good start on other products to keep the ride looking sharp. Just need a day off in the mid 50's!

Incredible price for a like new '07 GT!! Nice going!
I'm also with you on the Mother's detailing products. Great line!
** One side note from personal experience. Your tires, if original, will need replacing sooner than you think, and when that time comes you will probably need to replace the band sensors around the inside of the wheels. Two of mine were broken (didn't hear it) with around 10,000 miles on my '07. Here is my post talking about it previously. https://themustangsource.com/f730/ne...ensors-516938/
Again, great find, and enjoy the heck out of it.

Very nice Mustang Brian! Beware---mods are addicting. Take it from me---I think I've had over a dozen Mustangs at this point!

Picked up a C&L street CAI off my neighbor, he had an 08 CS and sold it. Now I'm working on a Brenspeed tune.
After that the hurst short throw shifter and a 20% tint are on my wish list!

Great find!! I thought I was good finding a 2005 GT Prem with less than 30k for $18k. Yours is like a treasure that's been hidden away! Does it still have the new car smell?!?!
