I think i want a 05 Saleen instead of my 05GT.

What do you guys/gals think i should ask for it?

- Chicagoland Market -

Car: 05 Mustang Gt Premium
Trans: Manual
Miles: 340
Color: Torch red
Interior: Aberdeen red leather
Options: Interior upgrade package, Interior color accent package, Active anti theft.

I paid MSRP $27,210


Should i just ask for best offer?

Thank you everyone.

Put it on ebay and charge a "market adjustment"

Your better off keeping the GT, you will get pumelled on trading in/selling this car.

WOW are you sure Will the Saleen have IUP??? IMO I think that if I was to wait it would be for the Shelby.

But, in the end I really don't think you will loose any money if you sell it on ebay use the IUP as a selling factor.

I guess if you can dig up $50K for the Saleen, loosing a few bucks on the 05 GT won't matter that much, either way. There is one on e-bay already (a Saleen) or have you already seen it? Good luck either way you go. Both will be a blast.

Chucks! You'll have to be very lucky or you'll get burn real bad. No one pays new car top money for a used car even with low miles.

Call the dealer and see if they buy it back minus a couple of thousand or accept it as a trade for the Saleen. The best chance you have in order to minimize losses is to do it while your GT has low miles. The turn around difference for the Saleen will be in upwards of $15K, minimun. And that's at MSRP.

Remember about supply and demand. The early Saleens will be at high demand. IMO, if you go through with what you've proposed, you'll get your butt handed to you minus its virginity.

I think your best hope is asking for a firm $25K. Best of luck.

P.S. If I had that red beauty of yours I would be jumping for joy.

..... I dont have a dig camera, sorry.

Actually, the car is brand new, just go through the torch red pictures on this site, look for red leather and bullit wheels, and there you have it!

Listen to 1Bullitt,
He has experience with bending over and taking it.
I mean...trading in cars for other cars, that are still new.
Ain't that right

From Bullitts to mach1s, to another mach1 cause he didnt like the colour, to a Cobra cause it changed all colours
