Default 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.

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