It's an '08 with all the options including a nav system and interior upgrades. Similar regular GT's are selling for around 29 to 31 K....barely under the Shelby. For some reason the dealership refuses to go above the MSRP of the car. I love it!

Shelby GT's are not selling well at all. Want to compare prices with other shelby owners, head over here.

the ford window sticker they have is for the car that came out of the ford factory. apremium gt. the shelby stuff is added to the ford sticker. shelby gt's don't msrp for $32k!

but i didn't think they msrp'd for $45k, either... so i'm not sure where they got that.

Right, you'd add $8400 (the SAI charge for '07) to the Ford MSRP. That's around $40k, not $45k.

RE: Shelby GT purchase actually makes sense

Hey, I figured out why it's only 32 K...it's an '07 that they've had on the showroom floor since it arrived and for some reason they're not able to sell it for more. I went there myself and checked. It's got about11 miles on it and has the CSM dash plate and all the Shelby parts. It's not a Cali Special...

The seller said they're selling it for less than MSRP because it's not a 2008 model and because people have been opening the doors and trying out sitting in it and stuff...so in their mind it would be unethical to sell it for 38,000 or so. Still, it looks brand new and there is no visible wear from any testing people may have been doing...
