Hey guys looking to buy a 2011 gt500. Here's the scenario. It is a one owner car with the svt package electronics package and glass roof they asking 32998 for it which is maxing my budget and I'd pull the trigger because they threw on 4 new tires and it is a pretty clean vehicle only thing is it has 54k in miles. That's what is holding me back right now. It feels like its on the high side for that price range what are your opinions?

Post some pictures, color combo plus glass roof can change the actual value. Does not sound out of price range.

I'd say it depends on the condition. I'm a miles freak though, I don't like a lot of miles. I've looked at cars with higher miles, but I think, if I buy it with that many miles and a higher price, I'll be stuck with it for sure. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you plan on keeping it a while or forever.

I'll be able to see it be I purchase. It's a few hours away so I'd likely buy it if I see it and it is as they say. But it's just the 54 k miles that I'm not sure if I'm being to paranoid or not

It would really depend on how many owner's, how the car was used, and maintenance

Right. It was a one owner car and it looks like he took it in every year for a multipoint inspection minus a couple. That's why I cant just say no to many miles it seems all in all what you would hope to see

ND68mach1,

6k miles per year so maybe a "semi-DD" (nice weather driving mostly) and the original owner had the recommended maintenance done (at the dealer it sounds like). Give the car a good look-over and haggle some with the dealer. (yes, they put new tires on but there still ought to be some wiggle room in price).

Post of some pics when you get it home! :D
