Sold my Base Shelby GT350

[Praehotec]

Most if not all GT350 fans and owners understand the specialness of this car is on another level. For someone else who doesn't see or believe that, cannot fathom how a used car can sell for more than new(amplified in bay area).

It's ironic for someone who buys any regular car that depreciates, and throws thousands upon thousands on mods that they will get pennies on the dollar for when they sell the car, to criticize someone else for overpaying for a car.

People can pay whatever they like, however, at least for me, it seems odd to pay nearly $10k over sticker when the MSRP for a base 2017 is somewhere around $56k. Since people are getting orders from MSRP to, let's just cap at $10k over, a new 2017 can be had for $56-66k.

The OP says he sold his car that seems to have about 5000 miles, for $63k. Personally, I would rather get a new car if I'm going to pay essentially the same price.

It just seems like the OP got to have his cake and eat it also, which is good for him. It just doesn't seem quite as good for the buyer. That being said, if the buyer is okay with that, then good all around. Even a used gt350 is still a great car.

Good deal on the sale. It's good to know that these cars can be moved. I put my GT350 Tech pack up for sale last week (a hair under retail because I'm impatient). The dealers around here all want at least $20k markups, so I think this car will move soon enough. Enjoy the BMW!

Jason, please let us know how quickly it sells. May do the same with mine.

Congrats on the sale. I understand why someone paid over MSRP for one. I love mine so much. It's been a while since I've owned a car for 6 months and had no desire to sell it.

Will do. I do have someone coming over Wednesday. I'll start another thread soon enough if he takes it home. The difference is I won't get a nice replacement car for awhile.

Just a quick update - the Cadillac dealer told me they sold my car for well over $70k.

Wow! :cheers:

Crazy. I'm having issues selling my car for less than 58k. Maybe I just need to try to trade it in.

It helps that he lives in one of the most expensive cities/area in the US.

Come sell it in the Bay Area. It'll sell REAL quick at that price.

Another local guy sold his to a dealer with decent markup, they turned it in 2 days for even more:cheers:

Drive it California for a nice road trip you would remember forever and sell to local dealer/person.
