$59,995.00. I'm so very tempted...but pretty sure I'd be served divorce papers when I came back with a KR!

Gee, For the sake of all the current owners I hope they don't drop anymore.

[09KR0058]

Last I heard, there were still 2-3 '08 new KRs and about 5 '09s still around.

It wouldn't matter to me if they dropped all the way down to dead-cost. I've never had so much fun driving a car!

you can keep it in my garage

If I only had an extra 60k, more garage space and a wife without a gun, I'd be all over that.

All kidding aside, I'd LOVE to do it...but there are three things stopping me...

First is financial - I'd be very lucky to get what I owe on my '07 as a trade...maybe a bit more if I sold private party, but I don't want to get stuck with 2 GT500 payments for a few months until the '07 sells!

Second is practical - with my luck, both the '09 KRs have the old tranny/flywheel, and I have to go through the TSB nightmare again...and with the new revised TSB, my chances of getting them done without major symptoms are practically zero. Don't want to pay more for a car with a KNOWN $5,000+ repair in the future!

Last is emotional - I'm VERY attached to my current car. Got the appearance just the way I like it, got to meet both my engine builders (and have 'em sign under the hood), got Henry Ford III to sign my dash. We've been through a lot together, and it's my favorite color combo. I'm not sure I could part with it...even as I was driving my KR home, I'd be missing my '07.

Of course, I could just keep the '07 AND buy the KR...but then I'd DEFINITELY be divorced!!!

I think there are more than that...this past weekend I spotted 3 (2 x '08's & 1 x '09) on delear lots in north Jersey. I think these plus the ones on eBay definetly make it more. The sad thing was that one of the '08's (at All American Ford in Paramus, NJ) was sitting out in the weather (sun/rain/road dust) in the middle of the dealer lot. My brother in-law said it's been out on the lot for more than a month......they had a price on the window of 81K and wouldn't even consider and offer under 75K because it was a "low production number" car....go figure...

I've heard so many different numbers on how many new '08 and '09 KRs are left out there. I'm really curious now.

Does anyone here know of a way to find out for sure?

Tell your dealer to check the completed listings for new KRs on Ebay. Your offer of 65 grand is pretty darn generous at this point. The dealer that you spoke with would likely be wise to take the 65 or start his own car museum.

Just explain to your wife you need a KR to complete your set .... just like a kid with baseball cards!

ALL valid points...I was poking you with the proverbial sharp stick...

I'd love to add a 08 KR to sit beside our 68 KR...but my wife needs some seed money to start a new business...maybe she could wait a while longer

I realize that!

I said all that mostly to reassure myself that I'm making the right decision by keeping my '07. Maybe if I keep saying it, I'll start believing it!

[henrycp]

There are 21 of them on ebay right now. There is an 08 Silver with no reserve and is at $59,900. There's also an 08 black with no reserve and is at $59,999. I've been holding out for a 2011. I called my dealer yesterday, he still has an 08 silver KR (has 11 miles on it) in his showroom. I mentioned to him the 2 on ebay at less than $60k and asked if he would take that for his. He said he'd think about it an call me back in a couple of days. That is soooooo tempting. Thoughts on a 2011 versus getting an 08 KR for under $60?

Thanks!
