Hey guys, not new to the forum, but it's been a while. My last mustang owned was an awesome 98 cobra sold in 2008. Recently I've put my time and effort into a lifted 2014 JKU Wrangler, anvil color with 35's. Wife was hit at an intersection, guy ran a red light and totaled it a few weeks ago. Super bummed, but in the process of dealing with the insurance company to get my check I started thinking that this is the time for me to get back into my original dream car, a 2010-14 Shelby GT500, especially now that they are more affordable.
Anyways, very interested in input on this topic, especially in 2018. My budget is realistically mid to low 30's, I prefer a lower mileage (under 30k) near stock cars. From what I can see this puts me in a 2010-2012, although I'd be willing to budge a bit for a 13-14 if under 38k.
I'm more of a bolt on guy, minor mods, good sounding exhaust, nice tires, fun cruiser that can beat up on most cars from a stop. Probably will drive the car 5-7k miles per year and enjoy it. I'm not saying modding heavy isn't an option, just not something right away.
I've got my eye on a 2010, bone stock with 5k mikes original owner- I think I could get it for close to 30k. Seems like a great deal but I'm thinking it's a buyers market and I may be better off with a 2011-2012 for a few grand more.
Thoughts on this specific car and/or what I should be chasing after for the money?
