I swear nowadays people act like 5.0s are gold. Most are worn up beat down teenager cars that have been abused daily.

So if this wasn't a beat down car owned by a teenager its still not worth $6500? Clean 5.0's are like gold nowadays, you don't find them that often. You see cars that have obviously been sideshow hero's for a long time, then you find the ones that somoene tried to cover up the fact that they were sideshow hero's and you find genuine clean cars. This looks like a genuine clean car, I agree its going to be hard to pull that kind of money with the economy the way it is but let the man sell his car.
If it was an immaculate stick notch with bolt ons it might go for 5000-6000.


Let's put this into perspective.

I sold my 90LX forged 347/TKO aluminum driveshaft 31 spline 2k miles on drivetrain, almost new paint, $2,000 rims with new nitto fronts and drags 410rwhp and in the 11s

$7,000 when the economy was better. That took months to do.

I feel ya, I ended up almost giving away my Mystic but you never know. He might come across someone who really wants a notch that's close to stock.

The appeal of these foxes is "bang for the buck." If that goes, people start looking into more expensive platforms imho.

With that said, these cars are absolutely dirt cheap these days. If a car is well built with attention to detail, there are still people out there who will pay top dollar, but you may have to be ready to ship out of state.

I sold my 93 coupe back in March for $12,000 just as another point of reference. It took approximately 3 months to sell but this car had attention to detail (Real attention to detail, not cafords attention to detail [Wink] )

A very clean 87-93 notch will still fetch $5-7K, even in this economy imho. But you have to market it appropriately. I am truly in awe sometimes how bad people can be about selling a car... Just pathetic.

One reason that these cars are so cheap is because there are so many of them out there and they are so beat to hell. I find that a lot of people are willing to start with the $2000 fox and build it up, not knowing that it will cost 2x as much to make it look like the $6K car that they would have started with in the beginning.

For $6-7K, you can have a 96-98 Cobra or a 99-04GT, which brings down the fox prices even more.

Other than that, I am all good with what you posted and what ever you wanna talk about here. Shit, I have ridiculous posts from time to time. But no since in degrading yourself as you speak with nonsensical slang that gets lost in translation while reading.

BTW post is gone what was for sale and for how much?

I do not take it any different honestly. It is still a term of endearment and I know how/what he is trying to convey. It just adds more to the air of ignorance IMO. I never understood why folks would want to try or emulate being black. Hell I have a hard enough time doing it on a daily basis...lol. My main point is it is useless to type it as if it were being spoken.

+1 anyone on this site using the N-word no matter what ethnicity they are should be banned from the board. I'm getting sick of reading stupid shit like that on this site. Take the bullshit some where else...

Most forums would ban people no questions asked.

I personally would like to see that same level of moderating on cafords. [patriot]
