Not many GT500's are left, sorry to say. I won't buy used!
They had one for about $40,000 as a few said, but it was the wrong color combo (white with red stripes) plus it would jack up my insurance, eat up gas even more and it didn't come in auto. We have the worse traffic on the world just outside my door (3 light sequences to go 1 block during rush hour) and the heavy clutch of the GT500 makes it a poor daily driver for me and my old knees!

The Shelby GT coupes in Grabber Orange that were special for California were going for $5,000+ over MSRP. The dealer down the street is still hanging onto 2 of them!

Wrong color combo??? The white with red stripes GT500 is a special edition, the EXACT car I want, and for $40K new?? That would almost make me trade my car in if they would give me a good deal!!!

Doesn't look like a 2010 to me. Look at the tail lights, not only that but the front end is like the S197.

It's a pretty car, but like others have said, for that price you could have bought a GT500.

I agree with stanman that white and red is an awesome combo, but if you don't like it then it doesn't matter how special of an edition it is. Blue and white is great too and that shelby GT is a sick looking car. Congratulations, man

There's one for sale near where I live. It is a 2008 with only 2002 miles for $37,500.

Here's the link to it;

They also have a 2007 white with red stripes and only 16 miles on it for $40,200, but it comes with navigation.

There was a blue one with white stripes but they sold that one. I have noticed they do sell pretty quick.

You have to go with what makes you happy. Congrats on the upgrade! I love the blue and that roll bar.
