Default Where to look for a used 05 - 09 Mustang GT?

Where did you guys buy your used 05 - 09 Mustang GTs? I'm looking for one thats under $18000 with 30k or lower miles on it. If you can name any website or dealerships in Cali or any dealerships that ship to cali for cheap that'd be great.

I just spent months on end scouring Autotrader.com with a filter on anything < 200 miles of my location. That should give you a list of both private sellers and dealerships.

Yeah, I found mine on Autotrader, searching a 300 mile radius...it took months and I had to drive to Cleveland to get it! But, that's because I wanted a 5 speed. If you want an automatic, there's more than twice as many of those for sale.

Also there's probably a lot more of them in California.

'05 GT's in decent shape can be had for $11-13k if you look hard enough and know how to bargain. Maybe even an '06. Check the dealerships, newspapers and internet. They're out there. I picked up an '06 V6 for my wife in early '09 from a Ford dealership an hour from me. 9k miles, Pony package, mint condition for $13.5k. That was over 2 years ago. Many folks have traded in their 05-09 for the 5.0's and the dealers are trying to scalp people but they'll drop $2k-$5k on their asking price if you know what you're doing.

I paid $19.5k for my '05 Roush in early 2011. It had 12,000 miles on the odometer.

I know it's not what your looking for but I just took in a beautiful 2005 GT with 95,000 miles on it with an aftermarket radio, pipes, and rims. Comes with 2 sets of rims and tires. We're selling it for $13,900.
