Been watching the economy and the Ford specials. Sat with local Ford sales folks today and here's the deal. Left over new 2008 GT prem 5 Spd manual, Options: Anti Theft System, Int Sport Appearance, 3.55 gears, HIDs, GT Appearance, Ambient Lighting and TripTunes (whatever that is) with MSRP at $30,095. Will sell for $22,941 + tax, lic, & doc fees. That's $7k off sticker. It sure looks good to me as this has most of everything I want. This deal any good, could I do better? Tx.
Is this a good deal on an 2008 GT?

$22,941 is an awesome deal! As a Ford dealership employee, I paid $26K+ for my '07 GT which had an original MSRP of $30K+ (about the same as the car you're looking at), so you'd be getting quite a smokin' deal at just under $23K.
That is a great deal, but consider whether you are going to significantly modify the car.
I just bought my 09 a month ago, and now with the list of mods I would like to do (GT500 fascia, suspension work, Saleen Supershaker, forged shortblock, wheels/tires, speakers, amp, eq) I am realizing that a used 2007 V6 for $13,600 from my local car max (19k on odometer) would have been a better deal.
If you are going to seriously mod the car (and it seems an irresistible force) then maybe consider used. I would have shied away from used because I would have been afraid someone would have abused the engine or suspension (clutch too I guess), but if it is all getting replaced, then that becomes moot -
I didn't really dig into the details of what I would want to modify until after I had the car -

Looks almost like a steal.

Push abit and you may get more.

Heck yes that's a sweet deal. Take it and run. I paid more than that for my loaded '05GT Premium and I got to order what I wanted and pay X-plan price for it at the time.

I pulled the trigger on Monday and am now driving it. Woo Hoo!!! Probably won't get around to pics till this weekend - not that you all don't know what they look like. Have put about 70 miles on it and really like it. Sure is big coming from a 06 Miata (now for sale BTW).
