Right how you will find the best pricing for such a ride!

There are several dealerships that deal specifically in Saleens and high performance cars. Just let the Google do the searchin' and some others will post some links I can't think of at the moment. There are a couple for sale right now via posts in this section although none with girly-girl pink overlay

As everyone said above, a Saleen dealer will be able to point you in the right direction, but, when you go to customizing options and paint schemes, you are talking big dollars, and you will not get any kind of great deal.

i don't want pink pink. the pink overlay i want is minimal. i've seen molly's car. it's beautiful but in no way do i want it that pink.

i'm prepared for it costing like 10k for the paint alone. i kno molly's was like 20k or something like that.

like this but with pink instead of blue.

I could talk options pricing etc with you. I had to register to become a Saleen dealer as I modify cars as a side job and I did one Saleen car brand new that was eventually ridiculously unique (3v, modded to 620 hp)). I've been part of the build for 4 other mustangs, among other things.

PM me and well see what you want and if it's even possible. I don't do this for profit but to help out my local mustang club. so please be respectful.

I bought my car directly from Saleen, flying down to their (now gone, sigh) retail store in Irvine, CA to test-drive cars and order one built to my specs.

The advantage of dealing with Saleen directly is that you avoid scummy auto dealers and can be sure to get exactly what you want. The disadvantage is that there's no hope of a discount from MSRP; on the other hand, you don't get "dealer markups", either.

Saleens come in your choice of any factory color Ford offers on the Mustang, or custom Saleen colors. Saleen's web site has apparently dispensed with the form that let you price your own car; when I bought mine, custom colors were $17K extra, except for the rainbow paint which was $18K.

Since Saleen starts with factory new cars, most of the cost of painting is labor, since the car is completely stripped (interior, engine, etc. removed) for painting. There's no way you could get it repainted by Saleen in any color for as little as $10K.
