Yeah, we were offered 4K for ours on a trade. I told the guy for 4k it can rust in my driveway.

 

5000-5500 tops is what would move a 9yr old v6 mustang right now.. unfortunately asking more is just unrealistic when a 2000 GT in nice shape can be found for 8000 or less..

i dont like it any better than you since i have one...

 

Each 2000 V6 is different with different accessories and options. You cannot go by a wholesale car book. The black book will show a price for a bare to the bones V6 with the equipment deem necessary by their standards. Hell I have approximately $8500.00 into my 2005 with another $3000.00 going into it this year. No blue, black book will show me the estimated wholesale value of the 05 that will take into consideration the $12000.00 worth of mods that have been put into it. If the interested buyer trys to take you down to less than $6500.00 I'd tell him to go look elsewhere.

 

well my 2000 is fully loaded abs, trac, leather, pony package.and ive put enough money into it to buy it again. i would have no issue letting it out the door for 5000.. ive seen plenty for sale for months, almost a year asking for 7000 and not budging let it rot then.. lol.. v6 mustang is the wrong place to put your money if you didnt wanna loose it.. like i said having one i dont like it anymore than the next guy but.... what can i do..im just gunna keep driving mine

 

As I said, it is in for an inspection right now, and if the fellow is happy with it, then he is willing to pay $7800. He said that him and his son have looked at a lot of Stangs over the past few weeks, and even the one that had close to 10k less kms on it, wasn't in as good of shape. If he is concerned about the suspension or cradle, then I can easily fix that, for less than he'll get quoted elsewhere.

 

thats good news i guess prices are a notch higher than they are here.. heck i payed less than that for mine almost 3 years ago now so thats awesome.. hope it works out for ya

 

Don't forget the economy is still fairly strong out this way

 

I was reading a buy / sell yesterday..at a dealers..07 loaded gt..17K kims..@ 17thousand...

 

Buyer backed out. I plan to leave it at the price I am asking. I am going to repair anything questionable though.

 

it's all a matter of supply and demand. an item is only worth it's value when there's a buyer. in general, cars are a depreciating commodity regardless of how you view it. if a car sits for a year, the value will depreciate accordingly for that year. but if you have the time, money and space to hold on for a better sale, why not?

i see that the economy now is forcing people to keep their existing cars for a longer period of time. ultimately, more money will go into mechanics pockets. i wonder if the used auto market will be changed from a slowdown in new car purchases.
