Yeah, you would be extremely lucky to have any incentives much less special interests rates. They are usually fairly firm on everything, but the price. You should be able to get it down to $37K with no problems. If they are giving you any trouble go to dealership that doesn't have an SGT on the lot. They can do trades with other dealerships for the SGT you want. They will probably a be a little more pleasant to deal with. If you can get them down it might even do you some good to say you will buy one of their maintenance package, extended warranty, skyway...etc. Any of the forementioned will probably net you about $800-1k. Just something to consider.

They repriced the Shelby GT and marked it down about 4k from the factory for 2007 (though the stock GT got more fluff and became more expensive before the shelby package, so it's more like 2.5k), the Shelby GT is a GOOD deal if you can find the sort of deal you get on regular cars with it. I've run the numbers myself and when you factor in labor you are actually paying $1400 to $1900 for the name, remember the Shelby also commes with the 2k CS package, painted stripes, preformance package, and other stuff like new sill plates and the grill. AND it resells better.

Personally I think it's offensive to BUY a Shelby GT new because of the mark up but it's a neat car... at invoice, there is nothing wrong with owning one if you can find a way not to be pegged as a sucker.

I would walk in, offer them 34,750 and if they refuse, make it blatantly clear that when you walk out you will be going straight to buy this Shelby with over 1k of options and 1k of good aftermarket mods on it:

It's legit but you will have to either pick it up or ship it to you which can cost you, obviously the sale ends tommorow morning, but you can simply e-mail the dealer and offer 33k when this car doesn't sell (and I can bet you t won't being a weekend ).

good luck.

Hi All,
I'm new since I just purchased my 2007 Shelby GT on Tuesday. I bought it down here in Florida at Brandon Ford. They were able to apply the $2500 rebate plus they offered the $500 more if I financed through Ford Credit. I didn't do that since they wanted 8%. I was also lucky enough to get the Ford Z plan pricing and picked mine up for $34K. They told me that they hadn't been able to apply the rebates or Z plan until a month or so ago. I just went through this process so I know it's at least true at Brandon Ford. I am very happy with my Shebly GT. Gets lot's of attention and it is fun, fun, fun to drive. Also, It may be true that you can take any Mustang GT and add on the parts, cheaper and with more performance but the Shelby name will be what makes the difference in the future when it comes time to sell. Always has, always will. Not to many classic Mustang GTs getting $100s of K$+ at the auctions like the classic Shelby Mustangs are. Just the way things are. You can say the same thing about Roush Mustangs and Saleens. They all command bigger prices when you could take and do the same to a stock mustang and not pay for the name. Now I wouldn't want to have paid 10K over sticker for my Shelby GT like some folks did but hopefully it will all work it's way out when the time comes to sell.

Yes, I agree. I don't think you will ever be sorry especially at that price. I have owned several mustangs...GT's included and this is by far my favorite. There's just something about driving a Shelby. The longer you drive it...the more it's sought after that is always a plus. There will always be haters, but I have come to live with that

Hey. I just picked up my second SGT. The first one was totaled. I got my second one for 35,500. Dealers are trying to move these. As far as GT vs. SGT I perfer the SGT of course. I know that I can get a GT and add everyone of the performance parts to it. I cannot addwhat the Shelby name does for it.I am willing to pay that extra to protect what I have bought. I know that my resell will be higher. They are not making anymore of the SGTs after 2008.

I work at a Ford dealer and just picked up my 2007 SGT today. I used the employee D-plan and paid $33.4. I went with the SGT instead of the GT because of the resell value it will have over a GT with the upgrades.

I picked up my 2008 SGT last Tuesday for $500 over invoice. That came to $36,908 +TTL. Based on this, I wouldofferabout $32-33k. That should do it; However, the clock is ticking... The longer that you wait, more than likely the demand for the car will increase since these cars are becoming more popular, and they are still limited in production. Supposedly they are only making 2300 of these in 08... They probably have reached this number already.

Of course, all of this depends on where you live and what the supply -vs- demand is. Down here, I saw an 07 SGT sit on the showroom long enough for them to offer it at $34k, while the sticker was $41. That was back in December, so I believe that you should be able to get an 07 for $32-33. Good Luck.

Offer 33K and work from there.These cars are not moving at all.They are a great car for that price.It is a buyers market on cars right now and they NEED YOUR MONEY more than you need their car.
