To me 1400 seems like a good deal. Especially with a good interior. But the only reason I say that is because around here it seems like everybody wants 10K for a b16 civic with a fart can and 120K miles....

not to mention 1500 for every fox bird within 100 miles

True that. Although I did find that one 5.0 cougar with blue leather for 700....The yard claimed it ran.

I ALWAYS offer about half what they want for it, let them stew on it for a week. Get all the cash just incase, but if you offer him $500 this week, then show $750 next week, he might just jump on it.

 
I'm letting him sit on the $1300 offer right now. I'll drop him a line next week and see what's up. I doubt I'd get it for $500 as $500 around here gets you a rotted out non running rusty POS;).

You guys keep posting these threads about the prices of these cars being too high and I keep saying the same thing in all of them.


The prices have gone up for these cars..... 2 years ago $1000 for it?  Yes.
Now?  No.


He'll get it too what with all the beat up shiznitbox late '80's Mustang Gt's going for STUPID money.....

I've noticed the phenomenon with Mustangs (POS FOX bodies going for more than $5,000) but I haven't noticed that with other FOX cars until recently. All of a sudden people realized that Ford made other FOX chassis cars and the price has gone up. I'd still wouldn't have paid more than $1,200 for that XR7 though as I really didn't need/want it that much.

It's not just FOX Mustangs. The price of mint, low mile Thunderbird Turbo Coupes has gone way up in the past two years. I've seen them go for almost $10,000. Mint low mileage Mark VIIs go for $10,000 all the time.

I just also realized that the SEFI 5.0 is 25 years old this year. Can you believe the mighty 5.0 HO is a quarter century old?
