I currently have my 2000 GT in my signature and avatar. It's showing its age and the miles aren't exactly getting lower, so I've kicked around the idea of buying a newer GT and parting ways with mine.
One that has caught my eye is a nice 2007 GT, 5 speed. Dark gray (DSG? or is there another one darker than that?), black leather interior... basically everything I want.
It has 54k and some change on it, which is about right for the year. They are asking $19.9k at a dealership. I don't know what type of wiggle room they're willing to do, but I'd be shooting for somewhere in the 17k range. Not really looking to trade my GT in. With a little time/work put into it I think I would fare better selling it.
Does that price seem fair for the car assuming it's in 100% mechanical shape? It looks clean as a pin like its been really well taken care of. Nothing fishy on the history report, although those aren't always accurate.
Buying a new 5.0 isn't an option at this point in time, as much as I'd like to. I can't say if it would, or would not be an option in the near future either, so holding off for one could be a hopeless cause. I'm looking for something with lower mileage, clean, stock (this car is bone stock) that will be reliable and fun to drive.
From what I've gathered, the 3v cars can go 12's with basic bolt ons/exhaust, gears, and a tune. Is that correct?
Opinions are welcome.
