New to Stangs

First post! The Super Moon drove me to go out and make the dumbest purchase of my life. I believe I got a somewhat decent deal though...16 CPO with 10k miles and the tech pack (no recaros and coolers but who cares) and a 8 year 75k Ford bumper to bumper prem care warranty. Already replaced the clutch spring and am now thinking about those P51s for spring. Has a clear bra a 1/4 way up the hood and front/rear fenders...the paint is in excellent shape.

Just curious how much you guys would have paid including the warranty?

Congrats! For me the GT350 was one of my best purchases, because I really enjoy the car. I paid a little over MSRP to get a 2016 track pack pretty early on, but have no problem with that.

As far as buying used, I have no idea what they are going for. I can say that I would rather have a used GT350 than a new 2018, which can go for $45,000 with the PP2 handling package. So I'd be willing to pay over $45,000 for a used GT350.

Hopefully you have a great time with the car.

It will be interesting to see how the next 10-15 years go in terms of car development. Usually you can count on future generations of a vehicle to be better in almost every way than the past generations, but every once in a while you get a car that gets the intangibles just right, and maybe never quite gets duplicated. I think the S2000 will be such a car, the original NSX, some generations of the 911 are like that, and of course many of the early muscle cars evoke those feelings.

I suspect that the GT350 may be one of those types of vehicles. It is not perfect, but it has quite a bit of character, and I don't know if that character will be as accessible in the future as it is now with this car.

IMHO, this may have been one of your smartest purchases!

In my area that would have gone for about 49-50K.

Good to know...I got it for 48 plus 2k for the warranty.

The dealer who bought mine re-sold it for just around $50k in St. Louis, MO just this week. It had 13,800 miles and it was in outstanding shape... well, because I owned it! ;)

Great buy OP!!

p.s. I only sold mine because it WAS a Tech pack with no coolers. It never hit limp mode the 2 years I owned it until I took it to Laguna Seca.

Wait what... a 16 GT350 w/10K miles goes for $50K but the "hype is over"?? ;)

Price aside, you scored the best color!

Congrats! Great color combo and good price. Enjoy the beast.

I bought my 17 with under 3,000 miles and contract writer said an extended warranty/service plan wasn't available for the GT350 so he didn't have to try to sell one to me. I didn't really care but I'm gathering from various posts he was wrong - probably just doesn't deal in GT350s much. They usually won't pass up a chance to try to sell you one of those things.

50k all day. in the midwest i have seen a few 16 track pack cars with 5k or less miles listed at 50 to 52k. congrats.

Now, drive it like you stole it.

A friend's clean '16 Tech pack 350 w/ 10k miles was appraised at 43k (buy or trade-in)... no doubt the dealer would list it at ~50k

very nice! congrats!
