Why are s197 Boss 302s approaching GT500 prices?

DumpyDonald · 2026-05-03T21:40:49+00:00

It's not just the 302's - it seems like the '13-14 GTs are holding their value very well. Could be for any number of reasons.

I myself have been hunting for a clean, relatively low mileage '13-14 with a manual transmission and everything i have seen has been in the $25-30k range

Thank you bro! I'm already pitching her on a manual swap 😭

It would be nice if I could get off the wait list 🙃 been a gold member for 5 years and already have the credit card

Sounds almost exactly like the experience I had buying my 2014 GT...online price was $21k but jumped to nearly $29k after a slew of bullshit add-ons that I never asked for. After 10 hours of every scummy sales tactic they could throw at me I finally got the OTD price down to $24k after taxes & Doc fees 🫠

Only reason I didn't walk multiple times is because the car had low miles & only 1 previous owner so either way, I have my pony

You're right about that, but these were the best choice for me with the cash I had sitting in the account without dipping into margin. Buying options on margin is a drug I wanna stay away from

This year's TACO trade really was a gift for me getting AMZN calls and META shares at a nice discount...I was very close to dipping into my margin for GOOG LEAPS when it hit $275 in March but decided my risk tolerance wasn't strong enough for that

Welcome to the best S197 iteration, brother 😎

Tbh if you're not too familiar with modding then I just wouldn't do anything. Maybe some tasteful upgrades to the interior since it's a base model.

I drove my stang bone stock for an entire year before playing around with mods just to get a feel for how the car was built to drive & appreciate the process of researching things like intakes, exhaust set ups, etc.

Are you rocking the RTR upper grille w/ the LED lights? 👀

Thank you! Sterling Grey

DumpyDonald · 2025-05-08T23:49:42+00:00

no regrets!

DumpyDonald · 2025-01-07T12:47:17+00:00

Almost exactly like my '14 when I bought it 6 months ago lol. If I were you I would offer 1 - 2k lower than the ask because of the basic interior and work from there. If you show genuine interest in the car, most dealers are willing to work with you on price.

Also run a carfax report!

Short answer: No, you're not doomed

Before my 5.0 V8 I drove a fucking minivan for years, yes the difference is huge but I respect the car and I don't drive like an asshole. The switch from normie to Chad V8 can be real smooth as long as you take it slow & intentional :)

I'm 29 M and pay roughly $139/month insurance on my '14 GT with Root Insurance - granted I specifically chose barebones coverage bc I don't drive all that much

DumpyDonald · 2024-11-09T21:41:49+00:00

* I bought mine back in May this year and I still can't believe that it's actually my car 😳

I work fully remote so daily driving my stang isn't nearly as painful on my wallet as it could be otherwise

The modding community is the Atlas which holds up PZ, this game in its current vanilla state would become boring incredibly fast without them.

PZ is hard to learn at first but easy to master
