How much is a good price

LXtasy · 02-15-2007, 11:46 PM

For a 1988 Fox coupe with chrome ponies low mileage (less than my old fox atleast)
Mass air conversion, e cam and some exhaust? Could use a paint. But not that bad?
AOD, 3.73 car.
How much could I sell it for?

You're asking a bunch of truck, uh I mean chevy, uh pool shootin, uh.... Ford converted farm truck owners what a high mileage, worn out Mustang is worth? It's probably faster than us anyway.
I have no clue

Well, just in looking around a little most prices start at 3500 for rough cars. I have seen some lower but usually 3500 to 5000 depending on shape.

Worn out Mustang....hahaha....they can still ride pretty good for being worn out

To me its worth about 1200.

Kelly blue book puts it at ~896 trade-in value

Same thing goes for you your Ranger ~1000 trade-in value. Mods don't add to the value, unless you find the right buyer.

I've overpaid for a used car once when I was 16, and I hope to not do that again.

I hear ya Mike. LOL

$1200 I wish I could get it for that. But we know that isnt the case.

The problem with those cars is that people are paying the money. Eventhough the bb value is lower, they are pulling the money. I looked at buying one instead of the tbird but I couldn't find anything that was decent for under 3500. Most were in the upper 4k range.

Jimmy you are right. I have been looking for about 2 months, and I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever own one. I'll just keep looking, but I'm not going to pay 3k for a 15 year old car that was mass produced.

perm102 · 02-16-2007, 09:12 PM

It's crazy. I wish I still had my 88gt. I sold it in 99 with 130k on it for 1500.

It was very strong and everything worked. Paint was pretty good. I think the only problem was the headliner was starting to fall.

$2500 than Mike? lol
