Selling my car...need some input
Alright, so most of you know that i am from a family that bracket races. So when i got my car, it was really cheap, and i had planned on running it because its an auto. Just the $1000 weekend pot, nothing too big. Well now i am finally getting my formula put back together (totaled last year, by old lady, but an amazing, bracket car) so therefore, i am selling the stang to move up a generation, and get a 5-speed, because oh how i miss driving one.
Okay, so my question, i've been seeing stangs like my body style sell for a lot higher than usual around here lately. I'm talking anywhere from $7000-$1000, that's a lot for one like mine, i know. And that's just for a clean mostly stock GT. They are all in the autotrader. Well mine has a decent amount of upgrades, new wheels, lights, and a bunch of other stuff, not to mention to body, top, and interior, are in excellent condition. SO do you guys think i could around $8000-$8500, for my car. There is nothing wrong with it, ( i just fixed the odometer). I know its pushing it, but after looking at some for sell, i think it may be possible, if i found the right person.

understand....but seriously they are going really high in my city right now. A girl from my work just paid $10,000 for a hardtop 98 with 46,000 miles from the chevrolet dealer last week, that's outrageous!

RE: Selling my car...need some input
ya i agree, but if they selling for this much stock, maybe i'll get lucky. I mean i'm going to make a profit off of theis car regardless, i've already got some interest just trying to set a price. I'll just try it out, and if doesn't sell, i'll drop the price. Let me find some of these autotraders around here

RE: Selling my car...need some input
Those are crazy ridiculous prices!!! At least the 2nd two are. I just sold my 04 GT a month or so ago for $14,500 with 38k miles on it. I had absolutely no interest in the car and ended up selling it to CarMax. It was auto as well. People talk about autos own the track and will outrun a manual with a high stall, shift kit, etc. but when it came down to it, noone wanted it. I just don't see how those will sell at all to be honest. But you can always set your price a lil high and come down some if you don't have any interest in it in the beginning.
