Default rousch mustang

I am looking at a 2008 rousch mustang (stage 2) 5 speed for sale with 35k miles for $24,000. I honestly know nothing about new mustangs, i have a 66 but these are a whole different breed. Is this a good deal? I loved the power and sound of the car, it is supercharged and has about 400 horses. I tried to look it up online for car value but was having difficulty. Also any other advice/ other cars to look at between $20-30,000 would be appreciated. Thanks!

Without seeing pics I would say its worth around 20-22k. As far as other cars, you can easily find a GT500 for around 30k these days.

Try fnsweet.com. Its the everything about ROUSH mustangs web site. That seems like a good price with the supercharger.

Sounds like a sweet car,...
If my budget were around $25k, i'd also test drive a 2005-2006 GTO (400hp LS2 that responds to cams/headers/intake extremely well). I was inches away from getting an 04 with exhaust then found this stang for a couple k more (yes, with the boost)

That's in about the right range pricewise, but it should be in excellent shape. With that many miles, I'd be looking for other clues as to how it's been driven such as road rash, paint chips, etc... Nobody babies a roush. However, a gt500 could definitely turn out to be a garage queen, but I'd rather go with the roush IMO. Better track car generally speaking out of the gate.

335i's are also nice and VERY quick. With the a few minor adjustments and add ons it would kill an M3. (in a straight line anyways)
