There's a silver '07 for $15.9k with only 47k miles for sale on autotrader right now. Where has your desperate search taken you so far?

NO LONGER ACTIVE
Be sure to check the engine serial number to make sure it's beyond the bad balance shaft (timing gear on the 5.5l V8) problem. You can post the VIN here and some will look up the engine serial number. The timing gear repair costs around $4K, so unless you factor that into your price, you might not get such a bargain if it fails.

I had to ship mine from Texas to Calif to get close to what I wanted....expand your search on autotrader.com.
It worked for me.

Well, for $20k a 350 listed as a 550 might be as close as you get. There is that one listed for $21.2. Maybe he'll take 20. Or you could offer 20 to everybody selling around $25. Maybe somebody needs cash. Or you could raise your budget a bit. Or wait a year.

When you told me the one was a 350 I looked, but later on the same list in Auto Trader is silver 550 for like 22,250 next to one for 18 that was wrecked. It has like 70k miles.
