Picked up my 2017 GT Base with PP 5 months ago.
Traded a 2013 C6 auto. Love this GT.

Took the GTin for 5k oil change and to kill time was looking around. Saw a 2016 GT350 with tech package 22k miles.

I could get it for my car and 17K. I've been thinking about it for a week.

I changed the exhaust on my GT ceramic coated and clear bra with stripes.

What would you do?

I'll took a pic of my car and will post it now.

Depends on what's most important to you.

I wouldn't buy a GT350 with that mileage, personally. If you have 17k burning a hole in your pocket, put it into the GT, you'll have a beast..

Sold : 15 GT
A 16' Tech Pack with 22,000 miles? Not what I'd be looking at if I was in the market for a GT350.

Mileage is on the high side, and also being the 16 Tech Pack it doesn't have the transmission coolers. Whilst that may not be a dealer breaker for you if you don't track your car, I may hurt you come re-sale time further down the line. Note the class-action lawsuit against Ford due to the 2015 and 2016 Tech Pack models due to the lack of transmission coolers causing cars to hit limp mode during spirited driving.

Not to be doom and gloom, but I'd have to agree with the few posts above mine.

I would say it all depends upon how much you really don't need that $17k and how long it would take you to earn that much cash again. If you make big bucks and it only takes you a few months to be back where you are at cash wise and own a GT350, I would do it. Coyotes are a dime a dozen now but having a 5.2 Voodoo under your hood is pretty damn cool, not to mention the unique sound and overall performance of that car. Resale on a GT350 is gonna be way better than a tricked out GT that can be had anywhere and you'll never recover the money you spend modding it.

Keep that GT and put $10K in smart, well thought out, mods into it and you’ll have a better performer than the GT350

I agree the 17k could get you all the mods you want I think in the end you'll be much happier :thumbsup:

Nope. Wouldn't be looking at any 2016 GT350 without the track package.
