Turbo coupe Craigslist......Really?

Reply #15
I saw this car this past weekend at the all-Ford swap meet in Columbus, OH. He was asking $9500 there. It's very, VERY clean on the outside, virtually unmolested. But yes, there were some issues…thinking maybe the price was trying to recoup some of the newer TC additions to it.

Looks like a "Wife says 'sell', so here's me 'making an effort'" type of things to me... "But honey, I'm TRYING to sell it!"

I see the 87 XR-7 on eBay with the buy it now price of $11,500 is from Chattanooga too. Wonder if its the same owner.

If that's the case, then he's a ed genius lol.

Sadly, I think this is not the case. He spent a lot of money having parts swapped in from another car, is my guess, and now wants his money's worth back out of it. Good effing luck. Might as well pee in a pop bottle and sell it for seven-up.

You're probably correct. I emailed him, and the motor has @ 50k miles. The body has @ 155000 he thinks "but need to ask my Dad". Lol! Great you really don't know what you are selling.

Slow down....the sale price is Chickamauga Dollars.  With current conversion rate of 10 Chickamauga Dollars to $1 U.S. that equates to $1,750.


That splains it!  LOL

-i talked with the son Eric. he was adamant that EVERYTHING on the car had been replaced or refurbished. his dad would "consider" a legitimate 15k offer. i thought (my opinion) he prolly should be in the 5k range.  told him i couldnt see that much in a car that looked so dirty in the pics.  also, couldnt give me a actual "body" mileage either....
