Possibly selling the gt500
well, I think I'm getting rid of my 500... I have really been thinking hard about it this weekend and I think I'm gonna part ways with the car... I really can't justify paying for a car every month and don't drive it... Plus in 4 years I'll be 30 and still be paying on the car... This is the car I've always wanted but I think I jumped the gun and screwed myself money wise... So I might as well fix it while I can.. So I'll put this here to see anyone interested..
The car is a 2008 performance white with blue stripes gt500
Around 950 miles only
Mint.. Car is always kept in the garage
Has the extended warranty and had the rust proofing done.
Only mod Is the mac boomtubes, but I have the stock mufflers if they want to be put on... Other than that, the car is fully loaded with everything except nav.. Hopefully I can find a home for this beautiful car.

I'll always be a member here though, love this forum.. You have any idea what a good starting price would be??? I used KBB but it said the cars worth 52k... I doubt that's right

As much as a 35k offer sucks, that is not surprising. I live in California and I have seen used gt500's matching your year and mileage for sale for around 42k from Ford dealers.
Plus, almost every dealership around me has a new 08 or 09 available for MSRP.
I am glad you are able to keep it now though.
Good luck!

yeah, for 35k its pointless to get rid of the car, the sad thing is, to own a damn car for only 4 months or so and for it to depreciate over 10k is rediculious.. I understand that the market and economy is bad right now but I;d never sell for that cheap... the problem is the people that are selling them that cheap... that screws it up for the rest of us... But w/e I love the car and it was not a have to situation but a situation that would help me save a ton of money, but for to do that i need to take a huge hit... i dont think so.. Guess ill just enjoy it a little bit longer =) thanks for all the comments guys, really appreatiate it.
