Saleen 12-013 and 12-014

[03fridge]

I am in no way connected to this dealership, but in case anyone is looking for a new Saleen, I just looked at two on my way home from work. They're located at Jordan Ford in San Antonio. 12-014 is blue and priced at $51K and change. 12-013 is red and priced at $74K and change. They are nice cars, but I don't know if I would give up my 07 for them.

1ZVBP8CF5C5210164 is a Race Red premium coupe that came from Santa Margarita Ford and might have been converted into a Yellow Label for display at Knotts 2011.

1ZVBP8CF5C5240880 is a Kona Blue premium coupe that came from Villa Ford.

The pricing on these cars is ridiculous. Who would buy a brand new car like this when you can get an extreme for around $32,000?

The difference in the two cars above is not enough to justify a $74K price tag.

The photos above show a stock Mustang GT and a Yellow Label conversion.

For $74,000.00, 12-0013 is probably a 302 S/C Black Label. The vehicle "might" have been re-manufactured a second time.

The red vehicle I saw tonight looks nothing like in the previous pictures. It has definitely been upgraded. It's sporting the chrome 5 spokes, full Saleen body kit, supercharged, full interior upgrade. It appears to have pretty much everything.

I think it's a stretch to assume there are $32k E cars all over the place too- I do agree with you though.

I would take an Extreme any day of the week, over that. I am still not use to that new body style as of yet.

There is a local guy here in Virginia who has sold two Extremes for 30-33 thousand with about 25-30k miles on them. Lately, I have seen more extremes for sale locally than SC or 3-Valves...

If you check the for sale section, most guys end up selling after lowering the prices to the low thirties.

Wow I should have held out

Maybe I'll trade up down the road.

I've seen several clean, low-mile, S/C cars in the VA area sell for anywhere between $28-34 depending on options- but I haven't really seen that many E cars.

I think to get into an Extreme for low 30's isn't the norm and is a pretty crazy deal considering the car. I have seen several sell for the low 40's- but not many, if any in the low 30's. I'd love to know where you're finding these deals, as I'm in Virginia too.

Fastbreak, check out hi-endauto in Appomattox, VA. I went and looked at a Redfire Extreme not too long ago, but I just didn't like the color. He will get a couple in every few months. The redfire car was listed for 32.9, so I am sure someone got it for a little less. There were a couple at the beach selling on craigslist for 33-35 grand also. Just keep your eyes peeled, and you will find one eventually. Looking back, I wish I would have originally purchased an Extreme.

I would have to agree with Fastbreak. I believe he got lucky with his extreme. But you never know how much a dealer screwed someone on a trade-in.
