I'm sure many people that have much more knowledge on the subject than me will chime in but yes! That's a great price on that car. As long as it hasn't been abused that looks like a pretty good deal.

I bought my '05 6 months ago with 79k and I paid $19,500. Mine wasn't a steal by any means but as soon as I drove it I knew it was the right one.

Looks good to me but wait on some of the experts in here to chime in...

thanks man just looking for a little confidence boost in my offer! haha don't want any buyers remorse if i bring this baby home

----------

alright 19k to do or not to do... what would a guy have to be worried about with this car? I plan on daily driving it to keep from driving my 3/4 ton diesel everywhere i go and highly doubt i ever try to push this thing past 450rwhp.

yea go for it. You wont regret it at that price. Both of mine a dd and one hits the track 5-8 times a year. Haul the kid around in it with no problems. Basic stuff is need to keep it going is all. Oil tires stuff like that. Don't beat on it without taking care of it and you will be fine. Over 117k on the one that see the track.

Only my opinion, but since these cars are hard to find now, (in good condition), I believe if the car is in good condition, just buy it. More important is the choice of what you chose to spend on it after you get it.
If you are like me, as long as you have a good starting point, you can make it whatever you want out of it. So original investment will no be as big of a factor, as long as YOU end up with what YOU want at the end. These cars are very cool, demand attention and can change peoples opinions (lifelong Ford guy before this). My only regret is waiting to long to get a V, and joining this forum.

^^^ i'm about 90% sure i'm goin after it tuesday. yeah my truck doesnt do too bad for what it is but fuel is much cheaper for the gasburner. my main problem with mileage on the truck is the speed limits on most of the highways here are 75 so its hard to not want to run at least that or 80, it will get about 20mpg if i can keep it closer to 65 but completely changes the game when you run at 75 it gets about 14-15mpg. anyway mileage isnt a killer on this deal i just need another vehicle to dd when im not working, (i'm in construction and demolition) plus i don't live right in town so it's very unjustafiable to run 10 miles one way into town to get lunch or make errands in the truck.

A few guys took their time when I sold my '05, seemed they had to think about it. First guy that showed sat in my driveway slackjawed and bought the car on the spot. The slow pokes all called back over the next week, they were SOL. WTF are you waiting for, someone else to snatch it up? FYI, I'm an "older fellow" and I sold with the halfway done 6th set of tires on it at 75,000 miles, so I'm not sure what age has to do with it. The question is how many rear ends have been replaced in the car, mine was Zero.

I got mine for 22 with 75k miles on it... but that was 2010

I agree with 18.5, but I would have played the year model card and negotiated lower starting off.

...and tires.
