Good question. Everybody wants to buy a pristine low miles car for the price of a high miles car.
This guy probably bought new thinking it would be a sought after collectable in a decade. That didn't happen. His asking price is 6-10K below sticker...probably closer to $10K since photos show the HID lights..one of the few options available.
He'd have been wise to drive & enjoy. My '09 has 27,000 trouble free miles. Can't say they were all enjoyable, since the majority of them are from crowded freeway driving. But with good air and comfortable seating, it handles that chore pretty well.
And, no you couldn't get a "similar" Mustang for less. The Bullitt package was a $3,500 package back then. There is no way you could have bought a GT mustang, then for $3,500 make it the equal mechanically to a Bullitt. The leather GT500 seats and the lower rear end ratio alone...then other differences. The package was a bargain at $3,500. But yes, you could buy a regular Mustang GT of that year for a lot less. And a V-6 Mustang of the same year would be a LOT less. Guess it depends on how you define "similar".
