Default Went to trade my 05 gt premium vert for a cobra and didnt like it

So I am not a vert guy and went to see about trading my car for this 03 cobra local dealer had. turned out the cobra was ragged so I walked. then i found a nice grabber blue 2010 5sp gt with the 373 and a few othe rhtings thorwn in. I am thinking about trading for it. Car stickers at $34025, what have some of you paid for a 10 gt premium 5spd couple lately? Edmunds says the exact options on that car have been going for about 28500. You guys think i shod. be able to get the car for that? Seriously thinking about a 11, but i don't want to pay 35k and I guarantee they will be full sticker for a long time if not higher. Plus this one is grabber blue with teh black leather and blue stripe which is pure sex.

I would probably say around $29k but depends on dealer the incentives and which way you plan to go with financing! I love those seats too!

i grabbed mine up for about 31200 in august. with the 11's on their way, you should see 29-30k easily. either way, ask for the x-plan and that'll be a good starting point

I'm thinking about trading as well. Found a manual 2010 GT Deluxe convertible for $30K with 0% financing. Very tempting.

I got $2K off sticker and 0% financing over 3 years on my GT at the end of January (Sterling Grey GT Premium, 401A, 5sp manual, 19" machined alloys, comfort & security packages, no mods yet).

I figured the same as you, get a good deal on a 2010 now rather than wait/pay premium on a 2011. Hope they offer you a great deal and enjoy that wonderful machine!

Yet another lucky soul with the bestest, fastest color!

And to the OP, I think with current incentives you should be able to get close to that figure. And 0%. Sweet deal.

Woot! So i just got home with my 2010 GT 5sp. the car has the 3.73 package with the upgrade brakes, premium interioir, grabber blue, black leather w grabber stripe, 5SP and 19-inch premium wheels. The car is SOOOO much better than the 05 vert i traded in. MY 7-year-old son went with me to check the car out. As we were takign our test drive he goes "dad, your other car kind of sucks." LOL

I am loving the car, got 16 MPG goign up in teh 05 vert, got 26mpg coming home in the 10. I got the car for right under $29K and got them to throw in bumper to bumper super snake stripe, painted and isntalled FRPP qtr lovers and window tint. teh 10 is head and sholders above the 05 i had in comfort inside. I opted to go 72mo at 1.9% in leiu of rebates. LV, my car is identical to yours when it was stock.

on a side note, bought the car from Prestiege Ford in Garland TX. These guys were top notch. I told them i didnt want all the crap they try and sell you when you are signing and they didnt harass me. I did opt for the ford dent and scratch repair service for the life of the waranty. Fixes any non-collision dents or scratches for free.

Prestige also has a massive speed shop with an in house dyno. they will install and dyno tune the 550HP whipple HO kit for $7200 AND still fully warranty the car! i feel boost in my future!
