What do you guys think

I might be buying this mustang in my area. Its an 87 Gt with t tops and about 103000 miles. Basically stock except for a few minor things. Around 4500, this sound good?

bigdaddy3312 · 05-20-2003, 10:54 AM

in my opinion,that is alot for the car,there are deals to be had out there.....if the car is mint mint mint maybe,but look at the middle t top mount...that always is a problem..........but again its only my opinion,i think the car is worth 3 to 3500 tops in really good shape.(i have been an auto appraiser for 10 yrs in a dealership)
you could buy an 89 style mass air car with less miles for less than 4500....... unless you have to have t tops,with the 87-93 fox body style then you are limited to 87 and early 88 1/2 cars.......i hope i helped......and again this is only my opinion.

I agree. You should be able to pick up a nice 87 GT for around $3,200-$3,500. I got Marbles for $3,200 after a little hagling. But if it is real nice and you are willing to part with that much, have fun.

Light EmUp!!!

Does it look anything like mine?

I am curious to know how much I could sell my car for. It's an 88 with 134k.. in very good condition inside and out except for a ripped drivers seat (from the sun). I've kept it properly maintained and dont beat it for the last 9 years. Mr. Appraiser?

bigdaddy3312 · 05-22-2003, 07:34 AM

it really depends.......how is the paint,hows the clutch,what have you done to it............it looks nice,to an appraiser,notches are in the book for less,but to mustang guys,they are the ****......so its a hard one to call.....probibly in the 3500 to 4500 range.i love all black stangs.........same as mine....just black...windows, lights, looks the part!i hope i have helped some?thanks......

Sicy Stang · 05-22-2003, 10:22 AM

There is no clutch ..

lol.

The paint is in pretty good condition, not the best but there arent any really huge scratches or dents in it. I havent really done much to it.. just exhaust.. headers/Hpipe/flowmasters.. and lowering springs and shocks.. everything else is stock, except for appearance, as you can see below.

bigdaddy3312 · 05-22-2003, 10:39 AM

i would figure around 4 k would be a good starting point.

Sicy Stang · 05-22-2003, 10:56 AM

Thanks

Too bad I paid $6500 for it back in 1994.

bigdaddy3312 · 05-22-2003, 11:05 AM

figure this tho......the car may only cost you less that 300.00 a year to own........thats huge!!!!!!! 65 to around 4 k is a great deal for you............2500 divided by 9 yrs..........not too bad!!i wouldnt be un happy with that number!!

Sicy Stang · 05-22-2003, 01:05 PM

Well when you put it that way!!!

And it did only have 56k on it when I bought it.

bigdaddy3312 · 05-22-2003, 01:51 PM
