Quick question for you guys. Found a ‘17 GT350R 12k miles one owner NO electronics... “never tracked” asking 46k
I wasn’t in the market for a new track car, but this sounds like it might be worth a look. Any input from you guys is appreciated.

Pricewise sounds like a good deal. Pictures and conditions would help.
Not willing to share that just yet, if you know what I mean lol
If I end up not interested in it I will share all the info for sure to help someone interested

Seems you would get your money back (should you decide to sell in a couple years) out of this one as they stopped making them in what, 2019? Feels like a low price to me, but i admit to not keeping up with the market of the no electronics cars.

I feel a lot of these are gonna come up for sale before powertrain warranty is up

I’m sure the dct in the gt500 is amazing, but i personally want a car I can tow gears in... I’ve already got an auto car. Sad to see manufacturers going away from offering the option of both in their top of the line sports cars. But I understand the automatic trannys offer much more.

Ran the car on Carvana and it came back with this offer. Looks like it’s not as great of a deal as I may have originally thought.

That’s their offer, they’ll turn around and list it retail for $49,990

Maybe even more that that. A friend of mine sold his 2013 GT500 original owner to Carvana for 40-41k and they listed it for 52K had 13k miles on it.

I think there is something up with that price if it's a true GT350R.

I've searched the entire country for all model year GT350 "R"s and there is not one even close to the $40Ks, don't see one even in the low 50K range.

If it's legit and not a clone or mis-represented like several are on websites claiming to be an "R" model, then you have a steal of a deal.

I just sold my 2013 Raptor super crew with 96,000 miles to carvana back in September, they gave me $32,400 and then listed it for $39,990. It lasted about two weeks and was sold to someone in New Jersey.

just for context. A year earlier when I had 75,000 miles on it, best I could find for trade or private sale was $27-28,000
