Default 2012 Shelby Cobra 500 GT

Hello. My mother recently won a 2012 Shelby Cobra Mustang 500 GT at a local drawing. We're all very excited, but unfortunately she cannot keep it. I'm trying to help her out by finding out what it is worth and I was hoping someone here could help.

As I said it is a 2012 Shelby Cobra 500 GT and apparantly they only made 5500 of them and they're already sold out. The center console of this car was also signed by Carrol Shelby.

The sticker price of the car is $56,205 but it has been driven about 200 miles.
Here is the Window Sticker and I'll include some pictures.

I greatly appreciate any help and advice with this. Thank you in advance!

You gotta figure you've already paid taxes on it, so that sucks.

Ask 52,000 private party, go from there.

If there aren't any takers, go to a dealership, but do NOT take less than 50K because they'll turn around and sell it for 98% of sticker.

if you won it, you would have only paid taxes on the vehicle, so what you get from the sale would be majority profit...you could definately get that for low 50's from the right buyer...good luck with the sale...wish i had the money to buy it
