Best thing to do is go on the USAA.com website and do a search for the particular model you want. Any dealership in a military town is going to fvck you on pricing, they know how much you make and can afford. I was quoted a price of 29.5 here in Lawton, and they wouldnt move. Drove 2 hours to Lewisville, TX and got mine for 27.5, i'm sure it would be the same case for a GT500, if you're willing to drive, you can get a deal. I'd fly across the country if it were possible to find one for a little over invoice.

I understand what you're saying about a $45k car beating a $150k car but I still don't see the industry considering the Shelby a "super car"

oh, theres this.

Motortrend thinks so...

Funny you say that because a went to my hometown of SA over 500 miles from El Paso to buy my Z.

Trust me I would look around. I'm just saying not ever ford get the mustang and they know how far away they all are. Little reason for them to deal.

:icon18: Your wife sounds like mine. She says the same thing, and I also have 3 kids. But we have a minivan as the family car that's paid off, and I take good care of it.

You're not cheap, you just have champagne taste on a beer budget. I wouldn't pay that kind of money if I didn't have it or knew I couldn't afford it.

Screw that ish.

O RLY?

what's a gtr then?

Shelby is not worth it to me... I would take the Boss 302 (in either form) over the Shelby.....

I would have no problem buying a Shelby. I can afford it. I make plenty a month, I have a great credit score, I have plenty in the bank for a down payment. I just grew up in a house where cars were deemed transpartation and not recreation. It took a year deployment for me to convince myself to spend $36k on a car in the first place. My wife tried to get me to buy a conv g37 when the didn't have the coupe w/ 6mt. That would have been the same cost as the Shelby I saw.

I feel you on that man. I was raised the same way.

I coulda paid cash for a Shelby, still thought it was too much money for a car...

I'm slowly breaking down though. It might be because everything else has gotten so expensive.

Like I said before. If my cheapness won out and I bought myself a civic si would that mean I couldnt afford the Z I'm driving right now?

Wat?

When people think I bought the most expensive car I could afford I ask them the question about the Honda. I think it stupid for someone to think I couldnt have gotten a Shelby, a cayman, or even a GTR because I bought a Z.

Just seemed random. That's all :tup:

I have a lot of respect for people that live below their means. Takes humility.

Word! I can easily afford a GTR but it just doesn't make sense to me. I want the price of my cars to be an afterthought... I like too many expensive things to be spending all of my money on one!

Must be nice to live at home:roflpuke2:
