Why do I keep going back to look at this? - 2/8/2008 12:54:34 AM    SaddleUp Posts: 1242 Joined: 4/15/2007 Status: offline This is at a local dealership near me......an '07 Shelby GT500 with 512 miles on it...... Now granted, this isn't my first color choice, but it is afterall a Shelby GT500!!! How good would a person be doing to get it for $47K?   Not one thing wrong with except it's lonely.............

RE: Why do I keep going back to look at this? - 2/8/2008 5:04:42 PM    cstunkard Posts: 31 Joined: 12/26/2005 Status: offline That is my color combination, and I ordered mine that way so I am admittedly biased but if I had to do it all over again, I would get the same color combo.  I believe that’s a pretty good price too.  No way would I sell mine for that.... then again, no way would I sell mine.  If it is at a dealer, and you are seriously considering it, see if they will let you take it for a ride. Drive it and I bet you will buy it! _____________________________ 2007 GT500 Coupe Black w/ Tungsten Stripes Steeda LCA's, CAI & Shifter Fabricated Hurst Chrome Stick and T-Handle J&M Adj.

For what the market is currently, that seems to be a good deal.

I know that's a heck of a lot of money......but this is my dream car~!  The previous owner of this car really babied it....it still has the plastic down under the floormats and the airbag stickers hanging off the glove box............. I guess I keep looking at it because to me it is as a brand-new car and doesn't have those terribly huge markups the newer '08 models have. And for the record....I don't dislike the color combo...it has actually begin to grow on me even more.  I just feel black and silver are predominantly male colors, and I was thinking maybe i should get something more suited to a female (color-wise speaking......) I do appreciate all of your responses.  You all definitely have me thinking!    AND NO WAY.....MY GT ISN"T GOING ANYWHERE!!!!  SHE STAYS!!!~    I'd have to come up with something else to trade for this GT500.    Most importantly, it never hurts to dream~!                                                                                                         s ~ _____________________________ 2006 Slushbox & trying to master the 6 spd ~ (in reply to BM83) Post #: 10

I am very pleased with my current car.  The GT has exceeded my expectations in many areas and I have no intentions on parting with her.......... I however, have a very strong affinity for the Shelby GT500.  I think the car is an awesome package, all the way around. MyGT500.......No this was not a car on EBAY.....it is at a local dealership near one of my hospitals.   However, maybe they listed it there??   Not sure.                                                                                              s  ~ _____________________________ 2006 Slushbox & trying to master the 6 spd ~ (in reply to Legion5) Post #: 13

If you have the means, go for it! _____________________________ 2008 GT500 Torch Red/White Stripes Crimson seat inserts FRPP 5230-SGT axle back exhaust (in reply to howarmat) Post #: 15
