30,634 miles · $31,559 with $549 in fees · 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD
Moose’s Verdict
Great spec. Wrong price.
This is the Mustang everyone wants on paper: a 5.0L Coyote V8, a proper 6-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, and the GT Performance Package — in Oxford White, no less. Low miles at 30,634 help. But $31,010 is roughly $2,000 to $3,000 over what the market says a 2017 GT coupe should cost. Bob Thomas has it priced like a 2018+ refresh or a sub-20k-mile garage queen, and it isn’t either. The spec is right. The price isn’t. Walk until it drops.
Price vs Market
$31,010 sits ~$2–3k above comparable 2017 GT coupes with similar miles.

Clean record claimed on the listing — verify the history yourself before you buy.
★★★★★
Maintenance & Reliability
The 5.0L Coyote is stout, but the MT82 6-speed manual is the known weak link — notchiness and shift-fork complaints are common.
★★★★★
Fuel Economy
15 city / 25 highway — you don’t buy a 5.0 for the mileage, but it stings at the pump.
★★★★★
Dealership
4.6 stars on Autotrader (910 reviews), 4.7 on Carfax (371 reviews) — solid reputation for a Ford store.
