5.0

BTW, Lemers, speaking of getting a GT500 now, did you know that I ALMOST got a 2010 Used GT500 vert instead of my new 5.0? A dealer locally had a freshly traded Grabber Blue GT500 vert, with 12k miles. It was stickered at 46k. I was trying to finalize the deal for a new 5.0, when the manager comes up to me and says, "What do you think of this Shelby?"

I said, "I like it, but 46k is not within my budget". He goes, "Well tell you what, we'll let this go for $40k, plus your trade in on the Z.". I ALMOST went that route.... but didn't do it because of the value they were going to give me for my Z (which is why I didn't buy from them period), plus the grabber blue with red stripes was hideous, IMO. So I didn't compromise.

Point of story is, you can get a USED GT500 for pretty affordable. They offered that to me at $40k with NO negotiation even. I probably could have gotten it for cheaper even.

What scares me is if they were offering me $40k for that car, imagine how much they raped the owner who traded it in. Talk about devaluing...
