Dropped $1600 on the car

thanks for the rep, IcE!

FuZion - thats the thing is your Mustang is old news when it comes to trading it in at a Ford dealership. a good trade-in value for yours would be pretty far back of w/s book and definitely not what you would be expecting.
on the GT500 that is a smokin, below invoice deal, its a 2011 GT500 with the SVT performance group which is more aggressive gears, and the nicer wheels and stickier tires. the color is red with black interior (of course) and is 6 speed manual.
MSRP is $55,705 with the options it has - I can get it on a referral for $47,900. pic of the color and rims: (actual car)

but if you are just looking for the looks and dont care as much about the performance aspect, then stick with your plans for your GT. the GT500 is the best of both worlds, 550hp and all the Shelby goodies, by the time you pro-charge and do all the upgrades to your Mustang, you'll be in it more than a GT500 and not have the reliability aspect as much, since the 4.6 will be pushed to the limit already.
 
Man.. that cobra logo looks ferocious. Shaunf, what is OTD (out-the-door) price for a Cali buyer on that '11 GT500? $52,690? (+10%).
 
its more like 12% since the DMV raised their fees 2 years ago... you'll be about $53,650 out the door...depending on if your city has extra local tax on top of the state tax
 
I live in Oregon so we don't have any communist taxes :D. I want that Shelby but 50k is a bit much for a car. I've been getting comfortable with 30k for a C-Class lately.
