That thing is going to fetch $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ someday if it doesn't get driven.

30 years from now, a perfectly stock car with <50 miles, first model year of a radical body redesign...

I've seen extremely low mileage collector cars, and they don't seem to fetch significantly more money than cars that have been refurbished. Unless the owner takes care of gaskets, leather, seals, etc, the car will need to be refurbished to some extent anyway.

Also, the volume of 2005 Mustangs produced makes it unlikely the car will be very collectible.

It's still neat though, even if he's missing out.

Though, anyone who can buy a brand new car, and not drive it, probably has another so he knows what he's missing.

He has like 15 cars in his garage. He has a SVT Lightening with just over 200 miles. He has a SSR With under 800 miles, a dodge ram viper edition. A CJ Jeep, a jeep wrangler, a dune buggy with a new LS motor in it, a new corvette, and a stingray, A sick dodge ram 1500. And he has a black s95 gt vert, not sure how many miles are on it though. His garage has 5 doors, and its 2 cars deep per bay, with a lift at the back of each bay. So 3 cars per bay, plus whatever is in his other garage.. o.O

Hell, look at the guys golf cart

Hmmm, nothing I have not seen at the dealership.
Vehicles like that need some real specific TLC to be stored like that.
I bet the battery is long dead. lol no wait
