Many more choices including a 3 mile still in wrapper for under $400. I will keep my cobra(cant get first of the first car I fell in love with at age 5) but have a couple of other cars I would make room for if the right deal came along and I wont have to sleep in the garage to get it!
Several 3-4k mile cars available in the low 3's with obviously the auctions jacking up some prices to $50-500k but that isn't realistic value for what they will do. They have skyrocketed but what goes up will level off or come down once the new one is released(IMHO)
I have found a couple of 4 option cars for under $3ook depending on how long the dealer wants to sit on them.
Thanks again for the input

There is a big difference between "100K under what some are asking", and 100k under what is a fair market-value price. There are some frickin' ridiculous prices being asked out there. However, if you have the means, and you find a truly good price on a Heritage, I would pounce on it. I think your fear of the value of the '05/'06 GTs decreasing once the new one comes out are unfounded. Lots of speculation of course, but the new GT is a completely different car. In ten years, it's valuation may do much much better, or much much worse then the 05/06 cars, but I don't think it will have any effect on the values of the 05/06 cars. Just my opinion... but I'm certainly not alone.
By the way, one excellent place to shop for FGTs is
Elite Autos LLC - We are CASH BUYERS for your used Exotic or High end car. Sell us your car for CASH today!
Shelby Smith (owner of elite autos llc) is VERY reputable in the GT world, and if he has one that you like, don't be afraid to buy from him. As fair a price as you are likely to find, and you'll KNOW EXACTLY what you are getting. He (and his staff) know these cars inside and out. As a plus, they can also do any mods that you want. I had them paint my calipers from silver to red (with silver lettering), and do Xpel film over nearly the entire car. Mods I did myself include a short-throw shifter, new exhaust system (stock is TOO QUIET), transaxle cooler, and subwoofer relocation.
