Yes, I want the 5.0. Can you blame me? However, given my pricing limitations, this is posing hard to find.

I'm not too picky as far as what I want. Needs to be a manual coupe however.

So far this is the closest thing I've seen to what I'm looking for:

I'm coming to the realization I might need to drop down to the 2010 GT's but that loss of 90hp or so is a big hit on the "wow factor".

Any help is greatly appreciated MF peers. Thanks!



PS: I'm located in West Chester, PA (35 mins from Philadelphia).

The 10's are nice...don't mistake that. I've had a 10. But I'd say be patient and find your 11+. Baby Jesus will surely answer yer prayers!

I was in the used market for a 2011+ 5.0, and the best I could find out in CA was $24k w/ +20k miles, but it was formally part of a rental fleet (Hertz). Yikes. So I bought mine new for $28k.

And dropping down to a 2010 GT is a difference of 120hp/90tq at the crank. Either way you're pulling hard and still looking good, but I'd hold out for that 5.0 if I were you.

I agree with both of you. No doubt the 2010 GT is a great car but I think the power increase in the 2011 GT is justification enough to just sit and wait for one to pop up(this will not be easy).

Only a matter of time before more high mileage 5.0's come out of the woodwork. I think another good step might be seeing the regional Mustang meet ups in my area and just talking to owners.

Waiting until the 15's start hitting the show rooms should help too. Prices will definitely drop. Heck, you might even get a smoking deal on a new '14 sitting on a lot. That's when I got my '10 with a 36k sticker for 24.

$21k out the door or $21k then whatever taxes, tags, title, etc?

Either way real tall order. I was in the same position. I wanted to stay as close to $20k as I could. I found a base 10 GT and a 13 premium. I decided to go with the premium. Driving were very similar. A little more pull in the GT but I loved all the tech in the premium plus it had nav too.

You will probably need to up your budget or extend your payments if you want a 11+ GT. Youre about $5k light.

Keep looking but I don't think the '15s will change the used car market. Not unless there are a ton of people trading in their '11+ on them. More likely, you'll get the previous cars ('05 - '09) getting traded in.

Cheapest I found from "dealer" type places, including Carmax was about 23K. You could always get a 2010 and spend the extra cash on supercharging it and not worry about it.

I'm not opposed to this idea.

Why don't you go buy the car you listed? It looks really nice.
One place to look is Mustang boards on FB. Anything Coyete Mustang Related is a pretty busy page and people post higher mileage '11+ for low twenties fairly often.
