Default Trying to determine if my car is priced to high.

so tell me what price or offer you guys would pay. GIVE me you opinions and thought I have it on ebay now. Listed for 9150.00 buy it now.

The car is a 89 Mustang Lx orginal v8 car...
I have over 15k in reciepts all work performed by rocketperformance. The car is located in hampton roads (Newport News) VA. The car is no joke and some of the best of the best stuff on it.

engine On motor the car put down 329 RWHP and 330 RWTQ on Spray the The put down 460 RWHP and 475 RWTQ only 150 shot.The car has only 5 passes on the motor the car and the car was just together in the last 3 months everything is basically brand new inside the motor. I have reciepts totaling over 15k into the car all work was done by one shop Called ROCKET PERFORMANCE. The car runs
10:90s consistantly on 150 shot. Car weights 3085 with drive in it. 225 lb drive.and runs 12.50s on motor. THe car pulls the wheels about 2ft off the ground just fyi.
The car is still streetable and is a fun car to drive. Here is a break down there is more probably more just cant think off the head right now picture are below also. ASKING 8800.00 or I would be willing to trade it for a nice street bike. Prefer a 1000cc may consider trade and cash too. I miss the sport bike and the wife wont let me have both. So go figure.

Yes, way too high. Just like 99% of the foxes out there. It's a run of the mill fox. Nothing special. I should have kept my GT then I wouldn't have to deal w/this kind of crapola.

Default RE: Trying to determine if my car is priced to high.

There is no way I would let the car go for anything less then 7k... I can sell the motor on the forums 3k intake to oil pan as a long block injectors everything . sell the tranny for 2k complete with cooler shifter converter lines fly wheel. Sell the car as a rolling chasis for 2k-2500 and nitrous kit say 450. I would get more for parting the car out. If I was to part the car out 7000-7500 if you add it up. so for someone to say 3k-5k no way not even close. 8-9 yea on the high side is what I was thinking but 7-8 is about right. You cant build a car for less then 6k and do it right and not have to worry about anything breaking.

You have a nice car but the truth is you are asking too much. Yes if you parted it out you would get what you are asking that is the way it is with all cars just about but you never get out of what you got into a car people just are not willing to pay all the extra for the mods that are put into them. I think you can get somewhere around 6k

I am going to let ebay right out. i have several people interested in a trade for what I am lookig for but I rather have the cash and buy a bike outright some close to me. If ebay does not go good. Ill part the car out. As far parting out I would not no where to begin, I guess sell the motor trans nitrous and as much as possible then sell the car as a roller,. with the suspension stuff and interior and cage etc.

its just weird I seen a very similar car to mine on ebay except it did not have as much motor sell for 10k and I am like how is that possible. I guess ill just see what happens. I guess about who wants what and what they are willing to pay for it.

Obviously ya get more parting it out. ANyone that expects to make the $ back selling a car is an idiot.
