here is one that is priced right

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

I would be interested myself, but I can't stand the red interior and I would rather have the regular stock bullit wheels, if the interior was black and the wheels right I would check on it myself

Great catch! That's a pretty good deal for an '06

when you get screwed on your trade in remember whoever traded in the mustang also got screwed.

go to kbb and check to see what the trade-in price was for the car you are looking at with the options it has. look under "good"; in my experience dealers won't give more then that. the dealer may have got the car for less, but i guarantee they didn't pay any more for then that.

the price on the window means nothing. don't be afraid to negotiate and/or walk away. bring a friend who is not emotionally involved and tell him what you want to pay and if you start to waiver that he/she is to make you walk.

so, for example, my car with my mileage and options would be valued around 16,500 at trade-in according to kbb "good" condition. so if i was looking to by my car from a used car dealer i probably wouldn't pay any more then 17k.

This is what you can expect a dealer to offer you.

You will need to find a GT around $15k. You should be able to find a 2005-2006 for around $15k and 40k-50k mi.

I know been saying this, but you guys kick all forms of ***. I didn't think I get this much input.

There must be something to be said about mustang owners.
