CA $15,000 ??

...tell ya what, i'll double the asking price and give you a nice crisp ben franklin US$100

...seriously though....isnt that a bit steep? maybe im missing something...

Skyman · 10-10-2002, 01:24 PM

I hope you get it man, but in my opinion its quite over priced. I know you got a lot in it, but youd be better off parting it out and selling it near stock.

I am sorry, I forgot to mention it was Canadian Dollars. In US Currency it is about $10,000 or even less than that. If you still think that's too much, maybe you didn't read the whole list of mods on my site. There is more than $10,000 US in parts only.

jj_jonathon · 10-10-2002, 04:52 PM

I kne wit was CA , hense the "CA $15,000??

" comment...even about 10k US is expensive for an lx foxbody 5.0...and you never get the amount back out of mods that you put into them...you spent over 10k on mods? so? it still only runs a 12s...lol...quality parts or not, the thing isnt worth 10k...course this is all my opinion...but selling price for theese cars stock is around 3k....so well modified (not super crazy modified, like a 5sec funny car, rofl) should only bring it up to 2-3times the stock price IMO...

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 10-10-2002, 05:39 PM

i think it really depends on where you are. out here you are really lucky to find a stock one for 3k. Mine was 4750 with flows,springs,shifter,clutch. higher than normal but i dont care I like it and I have the money. LX's out here are MUCH more rare than GT's

But i agree with Skyman, if you have all the stock parts you would get more money for selling the performance parts and then selling the car stock.

LT1 Z28 · 10-10-2002, 08:33 PM

I understand that you never get your price in parts back out of it. I meant 10,000US in parts. I have invioces for $14,000 in performance parts excluding the blower, leather seats and other few parts who were purchased used. Just the two rear ROH rims and tires together are worth more than $1000 CDN.

I may only have been able to run a 12.11 with it but the car traps over 120 MPH in good weather. It is an easy mid 11's car with the proper suspention mods.

Anyway, like you said, it is your opinion and we can agree to disagree. I don't think cars like mine are a dime a dozen and when I purchased it myself for 15 G's I felt I was getting a pretty good deal because building a car like that from scratch would cost me a LOT more than 15 G's.

Lizard King · 10-11-2002, 01:49 AM

I've seen the car... and I have looked in the auto trader around here. It is worth every penny.

IMO, it will sell like hot cakes.

$15K CAN = $9375 US right now.

Skyman · 10-11-2002, 02:23 AM

9300 isnt bad at all!

Hey Liz, is that your car in that pic? Thats EXACTLY WHAT I WANT, rims, grill, color, lights.

Mach 1 · 10-12-2002, 02:09 AM

$9400 is way too much for that car. If you paid $15,000, you got ripped off. You can try to recoup your loss, and maybe youll get lucky, but I wouldnt hold your breath.

And modifications add no value to the car whatsoever. They actually take away value, so basing your price off of modifications is going to get you very little prospective buyers if any at all.

But if your not in a hurry to sell it, someone might come along and pay what you want. You paid what the previous owner wanted....
