2112 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I need help to determine the value on my 08' Alloy/black, silver stripe GT 500. It has all the options except the shaker speakers, have the signed Dash Plaque and 20" diameter Shelby 10 spoke wheels , and Pirelli Zero tires. It only has 400 miles on it. It has been in heated storage it's entire life, fired up and moved around, just not driven. I checked sales on Ebay but the only comparable mileage cars were KRs. Looking to sell, Getting a trade in proposal from a local dealer on an 14', well see how that turns out. Opinions? Edit, I also put in the 3.73 traction lock Ford racing axle assmbly.

William Rodgers Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 $35-40K??? I would think with those miles you might be able to get High 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks, That would be the range I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cormy Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I agree, HIGH 30's or LOW 40's if there aren't too many modifications on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 2112, you said your GT500 has 20" Shelby 10 spokes? Do you mean Alcoas? If so and if you plan on trading it in I would definitely put the stock rims back on the car and keep the 20"s for your new car or sell them.

2112 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Not the alcoas, These; http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/z22-cs40.htm Yeah, probably puting stock back on. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Got it. Those rims look great on the 500. I'm with you if trading it in definitely put stockers back on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 NADA book value is $30,325 trade-in and $33,825 retail. But I see you posted a pic of it in the rain so now it's worthless LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 LOL, Can't avoid the rain up here unfortunately. I did a online valuation but the lowest mileage range I could find was 5-10K. In fact one of them would not give a value if I did not put at least 5,000 miles I am surprised they (NADA) expect a dealer to only bump it up $3K after taking it in on trade. I know a few car guys who tell me the margins on used are far superior to new. Saw a couple nearly exactly like mine at local dealers with advertised prices in the mid-40s. I fully understand that asking and selling are not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frydguy79 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 at the auctions 08's are bringing 26k+- with under 10k on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ouch Wholesale is painful. My guess those are well used 10K mile cars. I guess go out and drive the daylights out of it put it away wet and accept $10K less at wholesale for the cost of beating the pants off it. Not shooting the messenger, just lamenting Wholesale values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedrx Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I would think the best thing to do with a 400 mi car to maximize resell $'s would be to sell it to an individual who is looking at it more for collectability then the dealer who is just going to the wholesale side of the book for value. Depends on how fast you need to move it for the 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedrx Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Have you tried EBAY, you will at least get it in front of thousands of people, hopefully one looking for a car like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah, I thought you would say that as it is sound advice. Talking to 2 dealers about a trade now. We'll see how it pans out. It may just go on the bay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedrx Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I have sold several cars on EBAY, get's national exposure, almost all my deals have been outside EBAY just working with buyers on a deal both can agree on. I have also done deals where I find the buyer but the deal is worked through the new dealer, in and out deal where dealer takes car in trade so you get the tax savings and they sell it to your buyer for a small fee.

2112 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I would love to do that but if I am correct, It would require using a dealer in my state. We are still a ADM state. MSRP + $3-10K. Even on ordered GT500s. That unfortunately wipes out the tax advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Got a couple low offers. Low meaning less than the trade allowance. Lots of watchers. I waited too long to order one according to one dealer I talked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imatk Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'd put the stock wheels back on, and possibly the rearend depending. If someone is looking for a collectible they'll want it completely stock with all the papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
