Another word to the wise. If you're buying the car to drive, don't buy a delivery miles car! They typically move for 50K+ over a similar car that has been driven, and most of the low miles cars just go to another garage where they won't be driven.
Low miles is better than no miles! Depending on how the car was maintained during its storage they can have other problems. Mine had 1300 miles when I got it in 2011 (~200 miles/year) and I had to rebuild the supercharger within my first 500 miles of real use due to bearing failure from lack of lubrication. Now the cars are within spittin' distance of 10 years old.
I also disagree that the new FGT (17+) will have a noticeable long term impact on the 05-06. First, there will be so few of them and they come with resale restrictions so the 150 or so cars that find their way into the US market (250 total each year, 100 to Europe and Asia) will not have a "do I buy a 17 or an 05". Plus, the 17 is all built around Le Mans hype, and things aren't looking so good. Ford says they are building 250 because that's all they can build. The bean counters are sitting in the back and saying at 400K+ 250 is all we can sell.
Good luck!
