RE: GT500 on craigslist
It IS new - 29 miles. A lot of dealers list new cars on Craigslist. Cheap way to get an Internet presence.
$56,800 is cheap - I've yet to see a local dealer sell one for under $65,000 and most I've seenare goingfor $70,000+.
It's really too bad there are so many rich a$$holes paying way over sticker to park one of these in storage for 10-20 years thinking their going to make a killing. There are so many of these things being stashed away thatthose of us who'd actually drive it can't afford it. The nice thing isit should be pretty easy to find a low mileage example in a few years at way below MSRP.

RE: GT500 on craigslist
Talk about price gouging....you'd think that if a dealer was making $20k off one GT500, they could at least offer the rest offolks better deals on GT's or service or something.....*sigh* capitalism at it's finest huh? I have to pay out my a$$ just so the owner of the dealership can pad his wallet.

Recently, for the American automakers, the latter has been happeing WAY more often than instancnes like the GT500 price markups.
If that's for real that's an amazing price on that car... unless a tree fell on it and it's not a clear title.

RE: GT500 on craigslist
Oh I understand the whole supply and demand thing, I was a business major. But it always sucks when you're on the short end of the stick. haha. By the way, you mention trying to get rid of cars, I saw my dealership with an 07 Shelby GT that was discounted around $14k off the original sticker price.It's sitting at $34k I think.Talk about having to give a car away.
