It will be hard for you to find a 2011-2012 V6 in your price range

If your selling it for the $13K that the OP is looking to spend, I will fly there this week and buy it!

Yep, hard to find what you're looking for - my 2011 5.0 has 110,000 miles on it and still is worth above your budget.

Only way you are getting into a coyote for 13k is to buy an older model pre 2005 for 5k, swap in a used coyote motor and trans (about 7-8k) and you are good to go. It's just not a realistic budget for a 2011+ coyote.

LOL... I called dibs!!!

But yeah, am guessing the OP didn't really check into pricing. Just had a target and hoping to get the 11/12 5oh's.

Good luck OP!

Speed costs money kid! How fast can you afford to go? For a 5.0 you are in the 22k range.

I think you guys are being just a little to rough on the guy. If you're willing take a high mileage base model 5.0 I think you could probably get one for 15k maybe a litlle lighter, I got my 2013 V6 w/ 7K miles on it for 14k about almost exactly a year ago with. And it had after market wheels, and stripe kit.


Edit- Too OP, try Craigslist, autotrader, etc you are definitely going to need to keep it a private party purchase to get a 11+ GT for around where you want to spend, and you probably going to need more like 14-15k, and as I said above it will most likely be a higher mileage base model and you will have to look around.

You MIGHT be able to find a high mileage base GT (not premium) for mid to low teens . . . you'll need to be patient and search far and wide.

I have been looking at 2012 GT's for a while and most of them are in the $20-24K neighborhood with 10-40K miles and in good shape.

I have seen a couple with salvage titles, supposedly all fixed up, in the mid teens.

Here's one near me that keeps getting posted. Don't know anything about it but I've always thought that that it looked like a hell of a steal.

MSally, as others have said it will be next to impossible to to find a good one in that range. I just did the search, and bought a 2006 GT coupe with 89K that wasn't much less. The best price I saw for a '10 was a Vert with 75K, and it was 19K. Best to look for a private sale in your area. Good luck. You never know, there may just be one out there.
