I can buy one new from a dealer for $74,900. What do you think? Good price? Future value? Any thoughts on depreciation?
One dealer has one with a 110 price tag. I think if you have the $ you should get it. Not sure about the future value or the dep... but I do know you will have one kick-ass car.

There are dealers selling the KR below stickers and some at stickers, That is a good deal for right now, they will get cheaper and when things get better in the economy they will go back up!

I did some more research and I am just going to order a 2010 Shelby GT500. It will have 540HP but will be $30k cheaper. And the new tweaks including the SYNC system.

good choice...but remember the kr is priced where it is due to its exclusivity and rareness...not that I agree with the price...but yeah if you are looking for a DD not collector car (again, not saying that the KR will go up or hold value anyways) then get a gt500...

I don't know at this point for sure...
The KR is a true Shelby car... meaning, it's built by Shelby in Vegas.
The GT500 is not.
So, the KRs and S Snakes will always hold value in that regard...
I agree with pascal on this as once Carroll Shelby passes (long live Shelby) I believe like with artists the value will go up and only up...esp to those that love and treasure Mr Shelby. With cars its hit and miss and timing when you sell them as to whether or not you make profit off a car ...(usually rare and have to find someone that loves the car as much if not more then you did)

I kid you not....I went by the dealership where I bought my Mustang GT yesterday. They had a KR in the showroom.....$131k. And I considered them to be a 'reasonable' dealership, so take that what its worth.
