Price for a possible parts car January 07, 2008, 01:58:00 PM I have a lead on a parts car. It's been sitting untouched for just about 3 years now and I finally got to the place where it is while they were open. The owner will be in Friday and I guess I'll be trying to make a deal then.Some info on the car:1988 Cougar XR7 5.0 Black w/Red leather interior and turbine wheels.The good:-Full console car-Body is striaght appears to never have been hit -paint is faded, but intact -doors are near perfect no dents minor suface rust on right side door 1/4" diammeter in size-inner marker lights are great-buttstuffog cluster -All trim/moulding is in place -Sport wheel (decent condition -- worn around rim otherwise very nice)-inner door panels in great condition (except the door handle inserts of course)-Tail lights are pristine. They have NO marks on them-system sentry car-factory EQ power button actually works without having to be wedged-turbine wheels in great condition - need cleaning-main console and dash inlays are good-dual power seats-has both auto dim and autolamp-trunklid is dent and rust freeThe bad:-Headlight lenses are unsalavageable-Front seats are ripped pretty bad-dash cracked in many places-rear quarter window and side passenger window are smashed (vandals)-console lid and switchplate both look rattyThe Unknown:-I assume this car doesn't run as it hasn't been registered since mid 2004. Not sure yet. I'm not looking for drivetrain parts anyway. Bearing all this in mind I only require a few parts off this car for myself. The rest would be posted for sale here. If I do go through with this I'll be taking the inner markers, the outer markers, and the tail lights for "just in case" purposes. There are a couple of other minor parts from underhood I'll make room for here as well. The rest of the car will be parted and the items posted here So what would a fair price be to pay for this car?

Price for a possible parts car Reply #5 – January 10, 2008, 12:14:44 PM ~$400-500. I could have picked up a gold 88 LX 5.0 T-bird last year in about the same shape but with lower door rot for about $350. Interior was minty and it ran ok. I just had no where to put it (now I do though:hick: ). Quote Selected
