This is the greatest thing about this forum! Ask 25 people an opinion on something like this and you will get 10 different opinions! Many great thoughts and opinions on whether or not to buy new, used, left over, or waiting. This forum has helped me through some interesting decisions and all opinions and viewpoints bring something new to the table.

I have had a 19 on order since March. However, this car is about 30 minutes from me in CT. The car was built in May, 2018. I would be willing to bet you could get very close to what you would be spending with fees and all and this is a brand new 2018. The car is mint. I had my heart set on Kona Blue, or I would have bought it myself. They have had it for over a year on their lot. The shipping from CT may be a bit expensive for you, but it would be worth researching. I would imagine this car can be had for 53K. They are desperate to move it. Good Luck!!!

Looks like they've added $1,000 above the window sticker. Probably a $399 -$699 processing fee to added too.

They can add anything they want on paper. Their floor plan payment each month on a 18 month old car may dictate reality.

Texas Direct gets their cars from different sources, so they only guarantee one key. I test drove my first GT350 there in March. They will not come down on price and pretty fixed on their other fees.

That is a 2016 with the Track Package and the Recaro seats. Look at the Radio/Nav unit - its 4'. The 2017+ all the GT350 got the Track Package standard and most came with the Electronics Package with a 7' Radio/Nav/XM Radio with Apple/Android compatibility. The 17's will also have dual climate control and a toogle switch for the active exhaust. These extra standard items make the 17' slightly more desirable and more expensive. The cost to upgrade the 16' to these features exceeds the price difference in the models, so many buyers opt for the 17+.

If you looking for a 16 Track Package with Recaro seats its a good price as long as you can live without the other stuff. Also with one key, your going to have to go back to Ford Dealer for another expensive key.

Texas Direct's cars are as advertised and in excellent shape.

I wouldn't want to be in it for anything over $45k. More like 43ish.

I saw a 17 on autotrader the other day at a ford dealership with under 10000 miles and it was going for like 43000 and was certified pre owned. If you’re not modding it that would be the route I would go and get the 7 year 100000 mile warranty. Maybe wait a bit longer and I’m sure dealers will have great deals from people trading in to the gt500.

It’s funny to me that many here think their gt350 will appreciate, but also think reasonable prices are too high. LOL, cant have it both ways.
