These two cars are misnomered in the CarMax menus. Doesn’t appear to have affected their pricing as both are priced appropriately for CarMax cars, but it does mean they won’t show up in anybody’s search if they are specifically looking for these. There aren’t many of these older unicorns still offered, so if you want one jump on it! CarMax only carries US and Japanese/Korean cars for 11 years and European cars for 10, so there won’t be many more of these. I’d of course recommend MaxCare protection for the Mercedes…..maybe not for the more reliable and less expensive to fix Mustang? This Mustang Bullitt is listed simply as a Mustang GT. Only a few thousand 2008-2009 Mustang Bullitts were made, and the black one (while not authentic green as in the movie) is more rare with only 1,400 made.  They cost about $3,300 more new than a Mustang GT. The Bullitt had a tuned exhaust that sounded like the ’68 model in the movie, has 15 more horsepower than a GT, and is a good 1/4 second faster to sixty in a respectable 4.9 seconds – not bad for a 315hp car!
This price is decent, but check out this one I covered last year that was WAY under priced. There was also one this fall in Frederick, Maryland near me that was priced at $16,000 and had only 40,000 miles. See this one-owner Mustang Bullitt here in Fort Worth, Texas.
