Pic and modifications that it has, which is ok with me cause I would’ve eventually done similar things to it. Probably a different blower but good enough for now

Should I buy??
- Thread starter Burko
- Start date
Although I also found an 08 stock with 41k miles loaded for 23.5 otd that I am tempted to do just for the price difference. The more I look at the 07-09 the more it grows on me especially with strip deletes
I just don’t wanna make the wrong move for something this large of a purchase that is a just a “weekend car”
Both of our other cars wife 18 atlas and her old and now my dd 16 Passat are paid for. Kinda hard to want a car payment again even though I really have/do want a gt500

That is good price for that car. Blower would not be my first choice but it is fine. It has good supporting mods and has been done right. 35% tires left LOL. White is the best color for that year IMO.
OP, personally I would either nut up for an 11/12 or find a really nice terminator.
If that car checks out mechanically, that’s a hell of a lot of car for the price. Do it, just get a compression/leak down test done for peace of mind before the purchase.

nice on the white '11. nice price on that.
Well don’t think the white 1 is going to happen wasn’t gonna be able to meet with the guy till next week due to both our schedules and wanting to take it by a dealer to get it checked out. Now he has a guy looking at it in the morning. I’m sure it will sell.
So back to the boards.

Also after thinking it over I really would prefer to say to the mid 20s or lower if at all possible. So more then likely a 10 model if I get lucky but more then likely an 07-09 or terminator. Only problem with the termis’ are getting the bank to put up enough of a loan to not have to come out of pocket so much.
I did find a 08 with 41k at a dealer about 2 hours away that has been calling me for the past 3 days. They are down to $23k otd as of now. Just worried about what’s going to happen to the market for the rest of the year would hate to loose my a** on value with an older model

Dude that white 2011 is the car to get. If you're going to mod that 08 you'll be pretty close to the $31k of the 11. The 11 has factory widebands and all the mods done already.
Price out a set of cams + install and Kooks headers + install. LOL. You'll need clean shorts.
Get the '11.

This thing is bad ass. Great color. Looks like factory HIDs too.

Not going to be able to get the white car if he sells it today to someone else.
Yes, mods can cost some $ but I would have time to do them myself and enjoy it. I would also do the work myself since I work on cars for a living...
And I’d rather buy a car without cams unless it’s really built up and didn’t plan on doing anything else to it. I’ve always been told cams should complete a build not start or be done in the middle since it could potentially limit you on other mod choices[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
Buy stalk 2011-2012. VMP Gen 3. Profit.
Like I said, if you are spending $30k+, wait for what you want. Because of you I want a Shelby now hahaha.

Absolutely if I was spending $30k + hands down I would get exactly what I want a 12 with track and recaros.
However my budget is the mid 20s max. That’s what it is now and what it will be later. Wife and I agreed that anything more then that is not practical for a “toy” car to buy just to buy. Due to having a car payment. Now that’s not saying I won’t have more in it for upgrades etc. but those are not committing to a car payment either.
If I could find a 11-14 5.0 for the low I would probably just get it and buy the roush stage 3 kit and suspension since I work for Roush and get my discount.
Price can’t add up to low 20s though cause then it makes more sense to me to buy a 07-09 gt500 since it will hold its value better at least
Find a 2010 and add widebands, you can find them under $30k as you did the Vert. I would go GT500 of any year over a 5.0 due to transmission unless you went auto. I will not own another MT82 car. You have to spend $1,500 off the rip to shift without lockout.
The Roush suspension will fit all S197's. 5.0 and GT500.
Found a red 10 with 51k miles coupe strip delete with nav there stuck at $28k right now otd but does come with warranty till 3 year or 100k from the dealer I told them to keep it and drop the price to $26.5k otd they didn’t take it but I’m sure if I show up next weekend at the end of the month they would probably do $27k
Is it really worth the extra 6k though just to get the body change at that point though?

Hard Pass on the early S197s those cars are just fugly
At 1st I didn’t really want a 07-09 either then after I looked at 1 in person and sat in the car it wasn’t really that bad.
Since then they have grown on me.
Any one have an opinion on what an 08 silver w/black strips mostly stock with exhaust, new tires 42k miles would roughly be priced? Has a throw out bearing noise and missing the original floor mats lowest the seller is willing to go is 23k
20-23k is what kelley blue book is telling me.
