in feb I ended up buying an 00GT5spd premium certified 24k for 12,500, at the time I could have gotten 4k off the sticker, now the same dealer I could get 5k off, 9mos later
It was an easy decision back then, no money down, $420 for 72mos for 04, I bought my 00 for nothing down, $300 for 51mos(actually 275 for 60mos, but 25 extra mo I'm ending 9mos early)
I actually wanted a cobra, but setttled for GT, then later used GT figuring I would mod anyway; cobra was 600 mo, and the top dog saleen like 680mo
btw I bought my car certified from ford dealer, so on the 6/75 I had like 30mos and 50k left, all private owners were same price range, couple for 10k online(fly and drive basically), but all had at least 50kmiles
six bills a month is nuts! i pay close to that but that is my family ride(expedition) three kids is hard. but hey i guess if you don't have kids or make a boat load 600 aint bad for a toy
