azspeed Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm amazed at the list of mods some of you have. Got me thinking about how much money we have in our cars. I bought one of the early ones, so with tax I was out the door for $44,000. Add in about $16,000 (Whipple to wheels etc.) and my new "sticker" is $60,000.00. Not complaining...just amazed at how it adds up. What's your number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I bought mine used with 6k miles for a bargain IMO... Including all mods, oil changes and the fresh set of rear tires I just bought as spares.... total spent over the years is right at $36.5K. I feel pretty good about the bang for the buck on this one.

Regarding "bang for the buck" - I have 12,000 miles on the car. With the $60,000 in it, I'm averaging $5.00 per mile excluding fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I've piled about 25k miles on mine since purchase, just crossed the 31k mark... i'll probably keep daily driving it till 50-60k and then slow down on how much I use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave870 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I bought mine used last year i was lucky enough the guy that used to own it saved all paper work he gave full price orderd it in september of 2007 gave over 51.000 He got the car in feburary 2008.Then in august of 2008 he put on roush m-90 blower and carroll shelby AR torq-thrust 20s .Then late 2010 traded it in on a GT 500 .Glad he did but i think it would have been cheaper just to buy 2008 GT 500 IMO :eek5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Don't hate me. But I bought my 07 SGT new for invoice. In the beginning they wanted about 10K over MSRP, then 5 K over, then 3, then 2.5, then eventually MSRP. I held out till August 2007 and bought it a thousand miles away, all arranged by emails, for invoice. Bought a 99.00 one way air ticket and enjoyed the drive home. Thousand mile drive home and changed the oil. Car only has 7.3 + K miles now and will probably only have 7.5 K by August of this year for an average of 1,500 miles per year.

IASHELBYGT Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Bought mine new at MSRP in 2007, about $38K. I added the CS6 Hood, gauge pod, lower grill & driving lights installed at SAI for about another $3K. Since then I've added many things - wheels, brakes, engine goodies, Shelby interior, lots of billet aluminum interior and exterior accessories totalling maybe another $10K. So non-supercharged I'm probably into mine for $52K - $54K. It adds up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Bought mine brand new in May of '07 for $37.8K and I might have $500 +/- in mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Dennis Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I am the second owner of mine. Original owner paid $5K ADM which brought the total to almost $45K. I paid $28K with less than 5k miles on it. Did the SC upgrade = $13K, Baer Extremes up front = $3300 installed and new 18 x 9.5 wheels to fit the big front brakes = $1000 + $1100 for the bigger tires. I have more sitting here than I would in a GT500, but I am familiar with both and the GT/SC is a better car for me. I am a road racer, not a drag racer. This car is my favorite toy EVER!

William Rodgers Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm amazed at the list of mods some of you have. Got me thinking about how much money we have in our cars.

Not complaining...just amazed at how it adds up. What's your number? I did get the car for X-Plan and also got 0% for 60 months so that is significant savings as well. I think X-Plan was $37K or so, I would have to look. As far as mods added after I do not want to count, but I am pretty sure I meet your $60K even with the low entry price. Might add the Interior Package next, thats another $2k roughly. I know at this point every dollar I sink will add Zero resale value unless I find the absolute right buyer, but I can care less, you only live once and I do not plan to sell. This is the first car I have owned almost 5 years and I still love it just as much or more than the day I bought it and I have owned a lot of cars.

Steve.Madrid Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Great thread. let's see....27K as the second owner with 8,200 on the odometer. About 200.00 in mods with more to come later. I am definately seeing the numbers ring up so fingers crossed for a good post-retirement job so I can work some nice mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
