the wheels are actually aftermarket replicas of the factory style bullitts, the grille is aftermarket, looks like flowmaster axleback exhaust, the window scoops, and the stripes of course.

The grill looks horrible IMO and @ 36000 miles there isnt any factory warranty left. The colors arent bad but the wheels are bullits so they arent really special. Its a deluxe not a premuim.

KBB says its private party value is 19,500 so i maybe give 19 for it.

dealerships around here tell people with aftermarket mods that they are worthless and wont pay extra for them.. (I assume this is typical everywhere)they probably paid the previous owner something like 12-18k for it.. the only reason they would sell it to you for close to what they bought it for is because they really want to get rid of it (not typical of mustangs).

for an example.. not long ago i bought a 2003 v6 grand am, blue book was around 9k. I got it for 6600, i thought, amazing deal! then i found a paper they had left behind, a receipt they paid the previous owner 4400 for the car.. (why someone would sell it for so low though also makes me wonder, but i traded it in for this car, and got the same amount I paid for the car so I felt alright with it)
