It's a bitter sweet day for me
I'm going to be selling my mustang. I just wanted to post this here for 2 reasons. 1. To say thank you. Every single mod I have done to my mustang I learned here. The knowledge you guys have shared taught me a bunch about my car.
. 2. To get advice on pricing. I will list the mods and if you guys can give me a ball park number you would expect to sell it for or buy one for would be a great help.
. I don't want to see my mustang go, but it's time I get a more family friendly toy. So I'm selling to buy a jeep. I have about $15k in mods. Maybe more. 90% of the work was by me. Here's a list. Any advice would be great.

Bummer dude. Unfortunately you can expect to eat it pretty good as far as what you have invested goes. I would look up your car's value on KBB, then check Autotrader and see what other locally in similar overall condition are going for. Use that as a barometer, and then of course ask a few grand more since you have a bunch into it. You're really looking for the "right" buyer in this scenario, the average geek skimming used car ads is likely to just see a Mustang with a bunch of parts they know nothing about and the guy wants more $$ than all the other Mustangs they see. If you have any opprtunities to take the car to some shows and stick a for sale sign in the window you may have better luck getting closer to what you want out of it.

Thanks. I kind of expect to eat a turd on this. I am half tempted to keep it and pull the motor to swap into the jeep I buy. Haha. Not sure I'm up for that headache though.
If anyone is looking for a steal here, i would rather sell it to someone here that will know what to do with it. It would make the raping much easier to handle... haha.

Sandmanjj, I can feel your pain. It is difficult letting such a beautiful ride go. I remember selling my full competition FX back in the day. It is like losing a good friend.
Anyway, that is a beautiful GT with magnificent goodies. Best of wishes.
