new prices you are seeing for 2007 GT Shelby's ? -- got the bug bad..

ok.. I have been out of mustangs for the last 3 years after I sold my 93 cobra. miss it.

Wife and I are in our Ford Dealer showroom. He says he can sell his 2007 black/black/silver for $39k .. basically sticker. He gives me some mumbo about Ford taking all the markup out of the cars.. there is the 2500.00 rebate which brings it down to about $37k

Seems to me he could move more than that on his 07.. none of his specialty stangs have sold.. has a gt500 in red and a bullit..

got any feelings on what a real good price would be for a remaining 07 ?

got did I get the bug BAD for that Shelby..

thanks!! dave

If that price is for a GT500 then I suggest grabbing it. If it is for the regular Shelby GT then I personally think it is too much for the car. My guess is that the slowing economy and high gas prices will reduce the selling prices of these specialty cars so if you can wait a few months you might get a better deal.

yeah that is what I am thinking. .but I go to autotrader.. they are all selling that range. . question is what really is their bottom dollar.. I havent even driven anything newer than a new 03 cobra and 04 mach1.. not even sure if it handles well or what..

deal is written up c>> ok.. I have been out of mustangs for the last 3 years after I sold my 93

He might not want to sell the specialty cars. They get a lot of attention then buyers end up buying regular ones. Dealer where I bought my 05 GT had a Shelby marked up to 55k so no one would buy it, just as an attention getter. Had a sweet all black Saleen marked at 90k with other Saleens for 57-65k. Didnt want to sell the black one yet.

Food for thought Shelby is producing less Shelby GT's for '08 probably cause there is no real demand to mark the cars up so much. Allot of BS if you ask me. If Shelby had his head on right he would bury the hatchet with the GT350 name use (1984 Mustang GT350 20th anniversary lawsuit) and add some balls to this bastard car he made.

Regarding prices dropping don't forget the addition of the Camaro and new Dodge taking some of the sales in this market segment.

What really chaps my ass is that the Shelby name on a Mustang doesn't mean shit to me and I would be plenty happy with a GT500 named whatever Ford wants to stick on it. They could call it the "Polished Turd" and I would buy it if it were reasonably priced.

The plain ol' GT appears to be a pretty damn good deal.

at $55K I'm assuming you are talking about a GT 500... which is in fact different that the Shelby GT... which i'm thinking is what the OP was referring is the Shelby GT... which in IMHO is really nothing more than a bunch of overprice appearance parts... that aren't really that good looking...

I noticed the other day the local dealer has an 07 Shelby GT sitting on the lot... half tempted to see what kind of numbers they are looking for... they also have a new Bullitt that's been sitting there for probably close to a month...

No it was a Shelby GT, he marked it up to avoid it selling. I wasnt impressed by the appearance either. No wing, ugly rims.
