I got mine for under $2500. It needs a $25 part in the tranny. It does have 125k miles, however it runs great. Fixing the few things wrong with it AND adding a few mods, it's still gonna be under $3k. Interior is good for the mileage, and exterior has some flaws, but nothing that will cost too much to fix.
I've heard of others getting SVTs that need trannies or engines for a lot less. Sure you gotta do a little work, but it's worth it.
You gotta do some searching, but you can get a good deal if you really want a svt.
My insurance is only $10 more a month, if that, for the SVT.
