Actually there almost that. Ive seen them in the 38k range. Considering a loaded 13/14 was over 60k new i say its pretty close.
With 10K worth of damage? I've seen very few under 48-50K.

If you pay 38k for a 13/14 gt500 with 10k damage your crazy. Ive seen the prices take a big hit lately in ca. The deals are out there. If you pay 50k for a 13/14 GT500 your over paying unless its new sitting on a lot still.

If you find any 13/14 under 40K post the link here please. SRS, I'm shopping.

Maybe they're out there, but I still see them most consistently in the high 40's low 50's.. I nearly pissed myself when I saw @PhoenixM3's for 43,5 and it still looks really clean.
It seems that a fair deal on them is about mid to low 40s. 50k is way to high in the current market considering if you start looking around searching in the last few months a lot have come for sell with lower miles. Im guessing with anticipation for the 2020 gt500

I've been waiting to see if the 13/14 price would drop when the 2020 comes out. I'm patient. I need a vert.

I blame Terminators for keeping all these prices high..

...The Resale that started it all.

Even 94/95 cobra’s are up in the 5 digit mark for clean ones which is insane considering they have only depreciated ~50% in 25 years.

Compare that to something like a 2005 ctsv or gto which can be had for $10k.

Fords performance line from svt to st to fp keep good values because they don’t quantum leap every year, but rather every 2-3 years.

Chevy is just the punch drunk high school quarterback that can win most home games, Ford is the measured sober quarterback that goes pro more often than not.

Lately the Camaro has really pressed the performance envelope well into the pro rank, thing is the car as a whole is still missing something.

The mustang gt500 is now at a stage where it’s getting into hyper territory. It just picked up 98hp, a dct, an irs, carbon fiber wheels, track aero, and gucci fanboy hate for its cowboy grade panel gaps and vibrations by @Kaneda Yet he says nothing about those flaws on his germanized mopar. Selective questioning of the defendant but hey, he’s the one grilling the cars on stuff that few will worry about. His demon at $90k isn’t winning any beat assembled awards that I can assure you. Probably has orange peel paint in at least 3 areas and minimum 5 panel mishaps from assembly. Who cares, he’s Gucci shades hide that

To put that $74k price tag in perspective, a 2003 z06 at $54k with 405hp is $75k in 2019 dollars. A $55k 385hp 2000 cobra R is $80k today.

Today you can buy a $35k mustang with 460hp or a $45k one with 475hp or a $60k one with 526hp or a 74k one with 760hp. Pick your poison, they all are better values today (bang for the buck and overall performance/value/car) than their forebearers from the punch drunk 90’s and early 2000’s.

A top of the line Terminator in 03 sold for around $33K. Today, in 2019 dollars, that's $46K. This GT500 pricing is CRAZY!

Sent using the svtperformance.com mobile app

All cars have gone up lol Look at F-150 and Super Duty prices compared to that in 2003; they still sell like hot cakes.

74K+ upgrades+ tax.....at that point might as well get a ****ing Viper/Lambo/Ferrari/McLaren ....that's what I'll be doin =)

You'll regret that, I promise. I wouldn't own a McLaren outside of warranty. I wouldn't own a Ferrari or Lamborghini that can be had for $100k. I do own a Viper and I love it, so that would be my choice out of those 4.

In reality, this new GT500 is stupid fast. I've contemplated selling the ACR for one.

And the $5k+ yearly maintenance fees.

Yep. Plus having to find a certified McLaren tech isn't the easiest thing in the world. We've shipped my dad's 650S to Denver and also to Chicago.

Right, and not saying that because I have a original owner low mile unit. $28K would be my starting point. Don't like it, don't buy it.

Would you sell it for $28k?
