Well I'm not going to say what I paid for mine...and I mean that in a way that is good for you. I got $3k more on my trade-in than anywhere else, plus the car was in great shape, aside for some dings here and there. Well that $3k dissipated in the first three weeks when I had $2k in repairs done (most was under warranty, but not all). I also found out I have snow tires on there, that's a minimum of $500, plus a possible blown front strut (and those who know me know I have to replace the whole suspension with only the best because of this), and about $1200 in body work (the dents were too sharp to take out paintlessly.
But the most expensive thing about the car is the mod bug...stay away from that if you enjoy having a positive bank account.
EDIT: I noticed I didn't answer your question. Of course the SVT is worth the money. You can only ask yourself if it's a good deal after you've owned it.
