Who Got A Good Deal on GT's??

I'm seriously going to trade in my car for an MT. I need to know the best deals for GT's in Central Florida. For those that has the GT please list your out the door price. Thanks

I bought a 2005 a few months ago for 25K & change before T&T. It's just a GT no mirror blocking rear wing or spare tire. They threw in a factoy manual but the Salesman didn't realize it retails for $200.

I got a 2006 GT Manual with spoiler in Tampa out the door for 29500. I guess the 2005s are a lot cheaper

Search for an 05 GT brand new. Easily $7-9K dropped right off the bat. Walked with mine for $25K 2 months ago. Now you should be able to get ever MORE knocked off considering how close we are to 2007s. Search hard for an 05...this years sales alone show that there are DEFINETELY some out there!

And congrats on the MT decision. You'll be amazed at the difference!

in my experience (one car...) it's worth it to get a lightly used car to get the price down even more. I got my '05 gt that was 9 months old with 14.5k miles in epic condition for 23k out the door...21.6k before TTL. Still great and no problems at all except for condensation in a taillight. best of luck and good choice.

Youre gunna realize what this car is really made for once you sit in your MT. Defenetly a decision you'll be very proud of.

Bought an 04' GT with all options (accents, strakes, footlamp lights... everything except nav) with 14K miles for 21.5K. IMO good deal. Not to mention about 20 coats of wax on it. :D

I always used to use the same train of thought until I'd seen the way that a lot of stupid people don't know what a break-in procedure even is. I've even rode along with a few different buds that redline their cars almost every gear before they've even passed 100 miles. Someone may have damned yur car before you even got it.

More recently, my thoughts personally have been that, I figure that if your going to pay that much money for a car, go with it brand new. The extra money shouldn't be too expensive of a trade-off to the piece-of-mind you'll get knowing that yur the ONLY person who controls the shape of your engine.

Now don't mistake me...if we're talkin a $5,000 used car that's 6 years old, it's a different story obviously. By then, you usually can tell how it's been cared for.

Just a lil more $0.02. Or wait...would it be $0.04 now?
