First Shelby purchase

[Lvexpo]

Hi guys, I am new here and have a couple of questions and seeking for some advice.

I think it's time for me to get something fast and fun and what better to get then a gt500 right?

So yesterday I drove a 2011 Shelby, just over 9k miles, glass roof, stripe delete and asking price of just shy of 48k. Drove the car for only about 5 min, but I can tell that I really like it. On the other hand I am thinking I rather spend the extra and get a brand new one. Love the launch control etc. but the dealer told me that the '13 models are already done and I would have to get a '14 if ordered brand new. He also told me it would take about 6 month to get it, is that true?

Just curious what you guys think about a used vs. brand new one. The good thing is that the used one comes with a 100k+ mile warranty which is better then warranty on a new one. My other concern is that the 2011 is broken in the right way, anyway of knowing.

Sorry for all the nooby questions, just a big decision for a chunk of money.

$48k sounds kinda high to me. I vote you get a 13. Order it how you want and get all the new features and more power. If I had the option, I'd be in a 13 for sure!

People are paying low to mid 40's for that car you're describing. They're fairly high.

Obviously the 2013/14 is going to be a better car, but for an equally equipped one, you're going to spend about $60k (assuming performance package).

If you don't have that kind of coin, I would offer $44,000, (knowing they will counteroffer, I wouldn't go North of $45,500), and throw a TVS on it. :rockon:

There are a lot of '13's out there for sale right now if you don't want to wait for a '14. At this point, 6 months sounds about right for a '14 to arrive.

In fact, here's the car you need to buy.

BUY ME!

That car is already sold, and the seller took the money and never paid off Ford Motor Credit.

You don't want to get involved in a deal like that.
