Looking at a 2007 Roush stage 3 convertible mustang as my first mustang. They are asking $34k and the car has 34k miles on it. What do you experts think?

I'd be leaving a Porsche 968 cabrio to make the leap to a mustang. Time for an American muscle car.

Sounds ok, I think. But that's a boatload of miles for a year old car, especially being a tuner car.

Yeah that concerns me too! Carfax says it was a factory car, so who knows how many people were driving it, even though it was a one owner. Still though the higher miles make it more affordable.

why not? SC 4.6 5 speed, Roush suspension, $34k is a bit high with the mileage that it has though. I wouldn't go more than $30k on it.

Honestly, I'd pass that car up unless you can get even lower than that. If it was a factory car, that likely means it was never driven with care. Its probably a hard 34,000 miles.

I'm assuming you want a convertible, so this doesn't help, but there is a 2007 Roush 427R for sale on ebay with 12k miles for $34,900.

There is a 2006 Supercharged Saleen Convertible with 3k miles for $38k for sale...

I know it might sound like quite a leap, but if you're willing to go mid 30s on a Stang...

1) Why not get a CS or a Bullitt brand new and supercharge the SOB

or

2) Why not go another $10-$15k and get a new Shelby?

That much green for a roughed-up Roush doesn't sound like a good investment to me. But that's just me.

Thanks for all of the replies. I have one major criteria, it has to be a convertible.

I spoke with the guy selling the Saleen on e-bay for 38k, I really liked that one but he was firm on his price of 38k. His bid ended last night with the reserve not met, so I may contact him again. I prefer black anyway, but I like the look of the Roush a little better.

I might give the 30k or maybe a little less a try and see what happens. Noi hurry to buy so I can keep looking

Thanks never heard of this site, checked it out but no convertibles for sale. I'll keep looking.

Made my offer on the 07, waiting for his response, supposedly he has the car on hold for a dealer in Germany. I'll post if anything changes.
