Yep, you read right. I was checking out the car ads this morning, and I saw THREE used 05 GT ads! A silver manual w/red accent pkg.(no mileage listed) $29,000, a yellow (1000 miles/loaded) $35,000 (!!!), and a black auto $30,695 (1600 miles).
Interestingly, a few minutes later, a dealer called me, following up on my car search, and through talking I discovered that he'd sold the yellow one to the seller only two weeks ago. The ad said tragedy forced sale--asking $35,000. The dealer told me the guy bought it for $34,000. Wonder if he'll get 35K? Maybe he hasn't heard of depreciation.
Anyway, for any of you who are waiting for the used ones to show up, looks like your wait might be over. Doesn't look like you'll be getting any great deals yet--all of the prices above look to be at or above MSRP--but later this summer...who knows?

Sure, like I will sell you my used 05 GT, redfire prem. coupe, 5 spd. for 29K or 35K. Its only got 800 miles on it so far. Ofcourse my X-Plan price wa only $24750.00. But hey, ya can't blame a guy for asking. J/K
It is interesting that they are surfacing. Maybe, someone will deal if the buyer is serious. CASH is King !!

35k!?!?!
I'd call the BBB on their asses. For real.
I really hope nobody buys those cars, just because they're paying WAY out the ***. Hell, I haven't seen any new ones for over $30k.
That's sad.

Ford took the easy way out and said, "Dealerships are under private ownership, and out of our control". Like is that BS or what. Private ownership, but you still ship them their orders, just like the other dealerships. The factory could restrict shipment to the dealers gouging the public if they wanted to. I found it interesting, I got a JD Powers call last night to survey me on my 05 Mustang purchase of 2-3-2005. I was very happy with the deal that gave me X-Plan, so I gave them the high marks.
Why doesn't Ford survey those who don't make a purchase. Every dealership I went to took my information, and kept trying to get me to come back and pay their price.They should have to turn that info into Ford as well, for lost customer feedback !!

As obnoxious as those prices are I don't believe there is anything illegal in them asking for it. How many cars have we sold individually at our price when maybe the car wasn't worth it? I agree though, I hope nobody buys those cars and they rot on the lot but we all know that won't happen...
