Thanks again for all the replies. The 12 is a CS/GT. The "owner" of the 12 is the dealerships owner and its leased. He wants out of the lease I am told.

nice find on the roushcharged. Listen to it idling, see how it drives, ask if it comes with the tuner , i think it should include tuner.

Id also ask for a full mod list.

When I talked to the owner he said the computer was sent to Rousch to be programmed. I'm guessing that means no tuner but I have since texted him asking about the tuner & a list of all the mods. I have to wonder what the out of pocket was for all the mods. That supercharger had to be $6k a least right? Lets say $1000 for the Brembo's and another $700for springs & shifter? Oh, then theres the wheels & tires as well...

I have a potential buyer coming by Thursday to look at my 2001. I should be able to see this Rousch in person Saturday.

Edit: He texted me back. Said no tuner. Says Rousch locks down the PCM. Only other mod not listed is the Eleanor grille.

The 13 has some improvements/changes that are pretty cool and the GT has 8 more HP. I started to buy a 12 until I found my 13. Once I looked at it I was sold.

If you are dead set on the 10-13 body style ignore this but, since you brought that last car with the TVS on it into the equation, I would at least toss this out there for you to chew on...

Look at the 05-09 Roush Stage 3 or a GT500. Real ones. Why? Because the owners of those cars baby the hell out of them. You are going to find them with very low miles, perfect paint, perfect interior, garage kept, never seen rain or snow in their lives. And it's going to cost you what you are wanting to pay now for a GT.

1 example of each....
