CMG Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I picked up a new 2007 black on black shelby gt this week for what I considered a steal and the best price Ive found after shopping for months. It was in the showroom with 17 miles on it It is a low option cloth int. car which is what I wanted. I paid 30,900.00. I love it. Ive already added the 20" razor wheels and plan to add S/C in future. Car drove way better than I expected in stock trim. Just curious if anyone has heard of one cheaper than that new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofastguy Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 This is certainly a GREAT DEAL! At this price the, I believe the dealer was certainly losing money on this sale. But you don't have the best buy. I found mine (also a low option car, but a premium with leather) for less than 30K with zero percent financing... The car is well worth lots more, but getting a great deal just makes it all the sweeter. Enjoy it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebman Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 granted i didnt buy mine new but i did pick my 07 up yesterday with 6000 miles loaded with everything but tinted windows and paid 23k for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMG Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I had seen your post and you did well. These cars are now a bargan compared to what most regular GTs are going for. I think the cheapest used one I had found was around 26k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back & forth about the premium or the deluxe with IUP & shaker 500 when I ordered mine. I like the leather but I also like the cloth (kinda like the old pony interior with the running horses). Anyway, Congrats to all above :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bull Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 So much for resale value.... i wonder how the gt500 used market is holding up...man thats a serious loss of dollars in just a few months..may be high gas priced is to blame...paid 3.10 in missouri today..month ago it was 2.50 per gallon...just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMG Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Local dealer priced me a new 500 for 1000.00 under sticker. Found a couple used ones for right at 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 So much for resale value.... It will come back, same thing happened to the Mach 1 a couple years ago, they could not give away the last couple so the used ones went dirt cheap. A couple years later the value went up, now it is starting to go back down and level off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLShelby Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 It will come back, same thing happened to the Mach 1 a couple years ago, they could not give away the last couple so the used ones went dirt cheap. A couple years later the value went up, now it is starting to go back down and level off. I would expect maybe 4 or 5 grand in depreciation in the first couple years like any other new vehicle. Assuming one paid low to mid 30's thats 10 to 15 grand in a years time, wow! Thats a higher rate of depreciation than my wifes 06 GT, purchase price versus current value. I sold my 03 Mach last spring for 19,500 with only 9,100 miles and a little over two years of ext. warranty. Couldn't get any interest in it till i dropped it under 20 grand. Not doubting anyones word but the more i think about it, 23 grand is a little hard to believe with only 6,000 miles and only a year old. Thats in the range i see low mile 07 regular GT's priced at.

SWEDEMAN Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Oh I definately got the best deal and my Dad is better than your Dad, and and.... That is the way you guys sound! They are all great deals when you own the nicest Mustang on the planet, a Shelby. Come on now if you bought this car for what type of deal you can get your not a real Shelby man!!!! Buy the car because you like it, the deal you got was just a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the oil changed today for the second time (9,000 miles). Congrats on a great deal. You will love your car okie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SHELBY GT Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm not calling doomsday here but the end of the new musclecar era may be closer than we thought.People get antsy when the price of gas goes up 20 cents!What's the big deal!Plenty of people are dumping these cars in prep for doomsday.WTF!Let's put gas prices in perspective,If you have a twenty gallon tank and fill it once a week at $2.00 a gallon it will cost you $40.00.So let's say the price of fuel goes to $5.00 a gallon,It's now $100.00 to fill up.That's an increase of $60.00 a week!Now granted I realize that higher fuel prices drive up shipping costs and everything else but if you bought a new car and don't have $100.00 a week to spare for the bad times,The new car may not have been your first mistake.Enjoy our new musclecar era while you cann because this type of thinking will kill it soon enough for no good reason.BTW,I'm not rich,I just hate to see when people get worried over things they can't control.Thinking ahead is not a bad idea,But you have got to have some fun,Life is not a dress rehearsal.

JeffIsHereToo Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Did you say a cloth interior? That's wrong! Humm....I need to go back and look it up but I am 99.9% sure that even Deluxe cars were fitted with the leather seats as part of being a SGT. Like the wheels etc., these were automatic updates as part of the Upfitters package. While you kept the rubber steering wheel you were supposed to get leather seats. If I fine the reference for what came in the 54U package I will post but that's my recollection. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are uncommon but if you ordered your SGT based on the deluxe, the leather was not a mandatory upgrade & is not part of the 54U package. The leather seats could be added to the deluxe package though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofastguy Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Come on now if you bought this car for what type of deal you can get your not a real Shelby man!!!! I most certainly did NOT buy the car because it was cheap! I did wait, shop carefully, and not buy until I found one that I could afford since I am just a regular working guy. The 6,000 mile used one at 23K is the real steal so long as it is perfect, and I would imagine most owners are keeping their SGT's in very fine condition.

PASGT Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 RYE Ford in RYE NY made the same mistake and then added it all back on but only after I repeatedy asked for correct price! Salesman claimed ignorance but I dont know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofastguy Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 That is because your dealer messed up and never added for the SAI cost! They only charged based on the factory window sticker price. It is my belief that they knew exactly what they were doing when they sold it. They were promoting it as a big blowout price which included all applicable rebates, and the salesman and I discussed at length what a steal it was. The price I paid was only $235 less than FMC sticker, so I don't think they would be promoting it as a great deal which included all rebates on a left-over '07 if they were intending to sell it for only $235 off sticker.
