Paul2007SGT Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm looking at a 2007 SGT at CarMax, white, 21K miles, price is $29,900. Nice car, minor cosmetic issues, seems like one of the hood pins is loose. Cool car though. I had a black '07 SGT transferred from Texas to the CarMax in Los Angeles. Turns out they can't sell me the car because it has less than 7,500 miles and is considered to be a "new" car per CA DMV law, and does not have a 50 state emission sticker under the hood. Here in CA they are really strict with smog, etc. Anyway, what do you guys think about the price, seems a bit high to me. I was thinking $25-26K was more reasonable. Anybody know of a nice white SGT in California for sale?? I like the white ones. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbytexan Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm thinking 25 or 26,000 would be about right also as I've got an 2007 factory installed gt/sc with 16,000 miles and quite a few extras and no cosmetic issues which I think is probably worth around $ 40,000 .

HARALD KELLEY Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Just FYI The cars Shelby build are 50 state legal. My GT-H has no smog sticker and I had no issue when I bought it. It is a used car. Not sure what DMV law. That said, good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Personally, I like to see Shelby GT's sell for high prices!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoChris Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 The smog sticker sticker story is wrong and there is no way a 2007 model year car that has been titled is considered legally 'new' in 2013 regardless of the miles. Maybe The Peoples Rebulic of CA can tax a car sale at a higher rate based on miles? Regardless, I would get confirmation from the CA DMV on that one for sure if you decide to move forward w/CarMax. Given miles and condition, I agree with those who say $25 or $26 is closer to current mkt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSGT Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Car Max is blowing smoke. I'm guessing they want to sell the black SGT to someone else and came up with a scam for you. The white one is a bit overpriced if it has any issues at all. There was a nice one (white) just listed on the classifieds in this forum not but a couple of days ago; you might check there.

The SGT is a 50 state legal car. California does have require a "used" new car to have a minimum of 7,500 miles but that certainly can't apply to a 2007 car. The law/rule is to prevent California residents from crossing the state line to purchase a new car. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarbc Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 If I were going to get a 2007 White Shelby GT, I would go RIGHT NOW to Colorado to get this one. It's really nice with a ton of mods.... http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/80957-2007-shelby-gt-performance-white-for-sale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedrx Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I saw a Black 2007 SGT sell at Mecum auction in Indy this week, like new w/ 27K mikes for $21K if that helps you with current market pricing. http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=SC0513-153191&entryRow=317 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedrx Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 How the heck does a Shelby GT end up at CarMax? Someone may have needed to sell quickly and they pay cash. It could have been traded in for a more expensive car like a GT500, Corvette, etc. Third, CarMax is very active at the auctions and Ford Motor Credit has a sell each month for cars coming off lease, repo'ed, etc. Lot's of ways for a huge national dealership to get one.

07SGTC Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 If you are still looking for one there is one that sounds perfect, low miles and seems to be priced right on Craigs list. Sacramento Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT2899 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 if it helps any, i paid a little less than that for mine last july and the car only had 8k on it and was/is in absolutely perfect stock condition and came with all the original window stickers, hood pin tag and a few other paper documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby2809 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I just purchased a 2008 SGT, it has a few very minor cosmetic issues, 39k miles and I paid $22,000. I would keep looking and be patient. Also, look on the classified section of the forums, there are a few White SGT's for sale and the guys on here typically take better care of their cars. I'd rather find the perfect one and have it shipped to me ($500-800), than to find a local one because its local. I was lucky, mine was only 1 hour away from me.

Redlinetoys Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Interesting thread. I gave approximately $24000 for my white 07 SGT 4 years ago. It had 3700 miles on it and was mint sitting back in the local Ford showroom. It has almost 34k miles on it now. I figure I could still sell for 21-22 so it has been a pretty cheap ride over the last 50 months! Hope I never have to sell though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve.Madrid Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 How the heck does a Shelby GT end up at CarMax? I bought mine thru CarMax, for significantly less than what the original post described for the 2007. She had 8,200 miles and one owner before me. That said I have purchased another vehicle thru CarMax as well and never had an issue. My experience with them has been positive. I agree that 29,900 is a bit much and likely due to the California car market more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I agree with Shelby2809. TS members tend to be anal about their cars. I bought mine from a TS member for that reason. I recently bought a KR and am selling mine . Check it out in te classifieds. Buyer will not be sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
