roush mustang value
 

I am looking at a '07 Roush 427r and a '07 Shelby GT 500. Obviously, the 427r is a few thousand cheaper and its black where the Shelby is white. The salesman selling the Shelby told me that it would be a huge mistake to buy the Roush because they have no resale value. Are any of you guys aware of this? The Roush has 8000 miles and the Shelby has 2500. There is about 4000 difference in price between the 2, anyone have experience with either?

The salesman is correct.

I have to agree with the salesman.

Those in " the know " in Mustang circles certainly know about the roush. I was just at large cruise and there was a 427R and several Shelby's. The Roush was getting quite a bit of attention since most people do not know about it. As far as resale I'm thinking the Shelby would get more coin

The Shelby has a much better engine.. faster too. It will be worth more in the future too. The Roush will get more attention at shows and on the street tho. Its your call. I personally would get the GT500

Really? I would have voted for the Roush.... shows what I know about 'stangs! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I sell both and have taken them to Laguna Seca and I can tell you the Roush (especially the Trak Pak model) will run circles around any factory Shelby Mustang.

I would have to agree though that the Shelby,especially the GT-500 and GT-500KR have a much larger upside than the Roush cars,especially when Mr. Shelby takes his final rest...

If you're going to get it to keep it and keep it as a collector car I'd go with the Shelby. If you're going to drive it, get the Roush for all of the reasons they listed above. They do get more attention. However being a Mustang guy I still get chills when I see a GT500 blasting down I-95 and wish I was in the driver seat.

Thanks for the input guys. I wish the Shelby was black like the Roush. It would be an easier decision then.

Black with Red LeMans stripes is very sharp in a GT 500. Look around you can find a Black one.
