Default Price might be to high

So I went and checked out this 04 GT.

Couldn't even believe the shape it was in when I opened the door the car smelled new and only had 9,900 miles on it. But 15K seems steep. Just seems like a shame to pass this car up.

Seems a little steep to me as well, I know on Autotrader you could put a few more grand with it and grab up a 03-04 Termi. Might not have that few a miles on it or be as perfect though.

As a reference heres a 03 vert on ebay here in michigan

I have been looking for a couple months for a car now turned down a lot of cars because I couldn't get the price down. Don't know if it's just me and bad luck but starting to think the prices here are just high.

a few things, the milage is incredibly low, andi hardly ever see sonic blue GTs. Such a sick color. The mods are as he says tasteful, and its an asking price, most people will come down atleast $1000 off an asking price esp if its a private sale. The thing you have to ask yourself is would you rather have a very low milage clean but a little bit slower GT or a bit higher milage 4v? Im not saying thats the best deal you're gonna find but that thing does look to be in prestine condition. Then on the other hand that is a good bit for a 6 year old car, i've seen some clean 04s for 10k.

That is a really clean car, Im definitely not saying anything bad about it at all. Me personally, I would rather get a little higher mileage 4v but like I said thats me, I will never try to say someone else should do something just because that is what I would do. But as I said that is a very very clean car, If it were me I would check out Nada or something equivalent and see if the guy would meet you anywhere close to what it books at.

I say hold off for a while. Ive seen that car up ther for quite some time. I myself got a great deal less then a month ago. 2004 metallic red gt with only 10,500 on the car and it was only 10,425. There will be better deals out there. Just matters if your willing to wait.

I agree with everyone else here... while the car is really nice (basically brand new) its still 6 years old and you could definitely get a good looking 4v for that kind of money and let me say the 4v is where it is at

For $15k you can have a 4v. You could get a 99/01 Cobra for around $12k probably.
