I think this was a better deal unless you have to have brand new, it is a loaded 2011 with only 2.5K miles for $43K

Is $43K the going price today for a loaded 2011 GT500 with only 2.5K miles? Seems like a large drop from $55K sticker.

 

That seems like a wicked good deal to me! I don't know if you can find a 2010 for that price. What caught my attention is the second to last pic in that ebay listing shows two keys and two remotes...what the heck are those? I didn't get remotes with mine (just two keys) did my dealer forget or does this one just have an added alarm or something??

 

That is what I was thinking, just wondering if the market is that soft now.

Those remotes look factory to me.

 

They do look factory...wonder if anyone else has gotten these and can explain? Thanks

 

I still havent figured out how to post a pic I see

 

That's cool. I've got you covered.

 

I was at a Ford dealership yesterday getting my F-150 serviced. I walked over to the new car side and they had a 2011 GT500 on the showroom floor. I looked at the sticker and they had a $5000 market adjustment putting it over $60K. Very optimistic if you ask me, I can't even see them getting MSRP in current economic climate and 2012 right around the corner.

They are getting 3 Boss Mustangs and want $3K - $5k markup on those also.

 

Depends on the dealer, it seems like some just want to keep their gt500's in the show room. There is a dealer less than a mile from my house and I kept bugging them about getting one...they told me they would sell the one they were getting in less than msrp...when it came in I went up there and they said the price was msrp. I said no way! The car was black and they acted like it was a special color. Anyways they were pretty rude and didn't want to talk to me. They also said they were having a mustang show the next day in one of their parking lots. So I had seen another GT500 30mins from my house that had been posted by the dealer on ebay a few times. I went up there and got theirs (Grabber blue...I really just wanted the car so I was cool with any color, but do prefer bright colors) a couple grand under msrp and they threw in a set of stock gt wheels and tires as I requested. So I was happy with that...then I went the next day back to the other dealer for their mustang show. Kinda like a "see I told you I wanted it". It was funny, and I love the car I got.

 

They look like after market alarm fobs, this is what I got...

 

I hope the market for these cars continues to be real soft. I'm thinking of picking up a used 2011 GT500 in the spring instead of a new 2012 GT.

 

You're back?! Traded the GT500 for a SHO? Where have I been??

 

how do you like the sho?

 

I agree, I was thinking about a 2012 Boss or GT Premium but if I can pick up a 2011 GT500 for almost the same price, I will probably go that way - heck of a lot of car for low $40's.

 

The car is worth it! Definetly! Save some money for tires though...
Really though, as a street machine I think any of the years would be a blast... I like them all!
Get used to looking out the side windows as you drive the car down the street sideways

 

It's really nice. I can drive it everyday and even in the snow. It's pretty quick for being such a big car. It gets a lot of looks and positive comments from people. Ford gave me crap for driving my GT500 like anything but a Taurus, so I went out and got one.

 

No one picked it up for $43K so it ended up being traded in for $41K, I would like to find one around here for $41K.

 

That is a steal! If I had extra I'd pick it up! What is better than one gt500...TWO GT500's! haha. Geez, can you think of the tire bills. I guess they are only worth something if there is someone willing to pay...like anything.

 

Very Nice. I test drove one when they first came out. If I had to own a sedan, the SHO is the top of my list. Just wish they'dgo to F1 style paddles instead of the up and down on both sides...
