Need price check on an '08
 

There is an 08 GT being sold in my area and I am new to mustangs. I was wondering if I could get a rough price check on this car. The guy is asking for 25000. Here are the specs:

2008 GT

29000 miles

Borla X-pipe ($500)

Borla Stinger exhaust ($650)

C&L Intake ($350)
Still have the factory intake and filter

Diablosport Computer ($350)

Ducktail Wing ($300)

Painted white stripes with another clear coat ($2500)

Sequential taillights ($300)



Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

He's asking to much IMO. Especially with that mileage.

Do you have a recommended price? If he were to drop it down to 20 or 19k would it then make it worth it?

Sequential lights are only $159 brand new. Sounds like price padding going on.

That's getting more in the ballpark of reasonable price. He's looking to get his mod money back on the car which btw is almost unheard of. Most people will tell you that you'll typically have to write that off if you go to sell a car and you're better off taking it back to stock and selling upgrades separately.

Sure seems like a lot of mileage for a 2008. I personally wouldn't pay more than 19K for it. You can get cars with a lot less mileage for 19-21K.

Yep. No more than 19k would be my advice. If you have 25k to spend, just get a brand new one.

Thanks for the advice.

This is the car with pics.

There are better deals to be had. Be patient or willing to travel a few hundred miles or so.

Learn it yourself. I'm done.

first, try KBB.com for the used private party price. Cars have different prices in different areas.
Second, at first it sounds reasonable, as it probably less than one year old and looks like it was loaded. But with that huge, huge number of miles on it in one year I would stay away. Plus he wants to make money for all those mods which don't add much for buyers. That sucks, as he's got a lot of money into what is still a new car and I'd say he'll he lucky to get $20,000 for it.
Adding all those mods limits the number of potential buyers, especially those who don't care for the louder exhaust. Plus he's in Louisiana! Can you say possible flood damage?
If you love the car, make an offer of $19,000 and then call him in a few weeks and offer it again! It's not like it is going to be sold for $26,000 any time soon!

My 08 was 24,000 out the door. Buy a new one from the dealership and do the mods yourself you will appreciate it more.

my 08 premium gt with comfort pkg, iup, manual, ambient lights, 11 miles was 28k out the door.

The Ford dealers in my area are already out of 08 Gt hardtops, and we have 3 dealers in town. There are plenty GT verts and V6's available. I would think that most areas of the country are either low or out of base GT's. Usually the last GT's to sell will be the heavily optioned (read expensive) cars. You won't get a $33,000 MSRP 08 GT for $25,000, the dealer won't take that kind of hit.
If you want a 08 GT Deluxe, and can find one, now is the time to buy. If you snooze you loose.

Based on my research, he's asking what invoice would be on a new one (without the mods). I'm thinking with the mods, (saving you some money) it's worth around $22,000.

Dude i would not pay more than 20k for that. I got a deluxe mustang for 23k before taxes and you can find all those extra mods for at least half price here in the forums for sale section. Plus you get to pick the brand you want.
