Check this out...a 2006 saleen extreme with only 600miles for $50,000. Thats a great deal but its kinda scary to think that prices of saleens can drop that much in just a little over a year. anyway someone is gunna get a good deal on a car thats MSRP was 70k+

If it were yellow then i'd have to consider it....even though I find it hard to get comfortable in the S197 seats....

Ditto on both counts, and the color looks especially drab in those auction photos.  Still, what a price....

Redfire is a really nice color in person. Looks like Stevie Wonder took the pics.

Imagine This car with Reds  ( the guy with the 3 valve on this forum ) wheels and lowering springs. It would look sick.

amazing e-bay deals...there were (2) 281SC models that just went last week on ebay for 39.9k.  What a deal!  I have never seen such a low price.....it was from some ford dealer in Arkansas. 
If you search Ford Mustang Saleen under closed auctions, you will see these cars.  Someone got lucky!

Instant depreciation....its a bitch the first few years   Whether its a personal sale or a dealer, some people get in a bind and have to offer a killer deal to unload it quick because of debt.  Its a fact of life.

Think about it....if you were in the market would you pay high dollar for a used car when you can buy a brand new one for 5-10k more   I would't - it would have to be a killer deal for me to consider it.

Wow......is everyone SURE you don't want this car?

If i wasn't building a house I'd buy it! I can't imagine being able to pick off an extreme for around $40k (give or take a couple of thousands depending on the reserve price).

Only about 2 hours left and the owner reduced the buy it now price to $49k....

By the way...I haven't checked it out as authentic, but it looks pretty accurate.

Did this thread change or did the auction change   I though when this thread first started it was an S-281 SC, not an E.  I'm confused because when I first responded to this I though we were talking about an SC going for 40k with a sticker of 60.

Anyway, if that car is a legit S-281 E then something is not checking out on its CarFax as nobody has even BID on it.  Or perhaps people have done their homework and its not a true E

A few things I question:

1)  Where are the E quarter window fillers?
2)  If it only has 600 miles on it, why does the paint look like it could use a good polish & wax, like it hasn't been taken car of.  Look at the fender areas just behind the tires (where a mud flap would go) sure looks awfully road worn to me.  Perhaps the persons camera sucks and they just don't know how to clean up a car for pics.....major turn off for me.
3)  Is that what the E dash plaques look like?  Looks weird when I think of my Saleen dash badge.  Don't remember it saying S-281, but I'll have to look when I get home
4)  I'm sure SEVERAL questions have been asked about this car via ebay, but none of them have been added to the bottom of the listing.  Hiding information maybe?

Just a few random thoughts of specualation, something is definitely amiss.  Perhaps it was a lemon car or buy back with all the issues some of the early E cars had

A few things I question:

1)  Where are the E quarter window fillers? The window fillers were an option for 06 and not standard. I've seen a few E's (including Viper's old E) that do not have the windows blanked out.

3)  Is that what the E dash plaques look like? Yep! Brant's E dash plaque looks like that. 

Just a few random thoughts of specualation, something is definitely amiss.  Perhaps it was a lemon car or buy back with all the issues some of the early E cars had
That's a really good guess. I wouldn't discount that. I wonder how we'd find out...

OK then, based on your answers I would guess it to be a true E car but I'm leaning towards the lemon/buy back issue.

Well, it didn't sell. I'm kinda tempted to put my car up for sale and give this guy a call if everything checks out. I'd be putting in prob $5k if I could talk him down low enough (since it didn't sell) and I've have basically the same car but a lot sweeter. Just those CF diffusers are an extra $3k. They have a different engine correct?

I'm curious also to see if it was a lemon also

One thing i just noticed is that if you guys look at the picture of the steering wheel you can see on the right side behind the steering wheel there is a sticker that shows that the car is a 6 speed. and as we all know only the E's came in 6 speed.

Something is fishy about it...I wouldn't sell your car until you have done some SERIOUS homework on this car.
