There is nothing wrong with 2005 - 2010... These cars pack serious "fun factor"...
Is this to be a daily driver? Will you be doing track/racing stuff?
Go to American Muscle and watch the Project Grabber Boost vs. Coyote series of videos. You'll see a 4.6 S197 is completely open to all kinds of mods to max out performance... and turn 11's in a quarter mile. It's a fun car and I love my 2005. I'm glad I actually have an older one vs. a newer one.
Prices are very different between used 2005/2010 to 2011's on up. Used 2011 on up are still grabbing serious coin. In my area I'm seeing used 2013/14's asking as much as new 2015's...
You can score with an older one and leave money in the budget for lots of fun mods...
