Default 08' GT500 on the lot

A Ford dealership near me has an '08 GT500 Shelby on the lot. It's pretty well aftermarket modded (the list is on the dash but I don't recall the details; Steeda short-throw, some other Steeda items...) and boasts a dyno of about 525RWHP. It looks pretty darned clean and has about 44k miles. I haven't test driven it yet because if I do, it will probably end up in the garage with the others. They're asking $34k and change which I think is pretty high. Any feedback on what it's really worth?

Beware Nuke!! The Darkside is sucking you in deeper!! I know what happened when I cast my eyes on my 08 Snake...as far as price I dont know where 34K would fall...I paid 42k 2 yrs ago for my 08...but it had 558 miles...the dyno numbers fall right in line with a 2.6" pulley swap...tune etc...I assure you Nuke..you drive it..your done! will be going home with you!! Kelly BB says $33900 for my area...

Thanks, Lifter. That's one reason why I've refused to drive it (so far) the 3-4 times I've stopped to look at it. But we just started house hunting so that may make this a moot point. Of course, a new house and a new toy for the garage isn't out of the question.

Not needed, pascal. I already have the whip along with handcuffs and shackles. And, lifter, she already HAS a night job: me.
