Default Buying Used Price ?

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase 99+ GT here in Northern California and wondering what is a good price to pay or what I can get with my budget being 7K. I'll be going to a dealer as finance is needed but I can say most GT's around here are around 90K Miles. I found a local dealer that has a 99 with 77K for $7K and a 02 with 90K for 6K. Are these reasonable prices or can they be talked down more with the way the economy is? Anyway I'm looking to purchase in April and I can't wait to get back into the mustang family. And I thank you for your insight.

Dealers can always be talked down on prices you just can't go in there all excited and showing them signs that you actually want to buy the car. My 02 was listed at 14k and I paid 10k for it.

Hey thanks Aeron, I didn't even check SF craigs only sacs, they have some I'm interested in. I guess I might have to take a two hour drive over there when I go to purchase. I can't wait now, I'll try not to so much emotion but its hard too just thinking about getting back into the seat of a mustang. The only thing I'm waiting on is the 2K I'm saving for the DP, tax return and what not.

I do know dealers can be talked down, I've been in the business but I currently don't know what mustangs go for these days and how much the markdowns are already do to the economy but I thank you all for helping me out. I shouldn't have mucg trouble getting one in my range.

them sound like pretty decent deals , for 6k on the 02 especially. Drive it the motor goes and then build it up with the money you'll have from not buying a higher priced Stang.

I guess I just don't see some of those being that great of deals. Some are, but not all of them.

I paid 9500 for my 99 with 48K four and a half years ago, but if it's something you're willing to pay, and it' makes you happy, then it's only money.

just as some more info...Two years ago I paid $10k for my 00gt with just over 50k on the clock, and the thing was/is immaculate inside and out. It always helps when you can pay for it with cash (as far as talking down a dealer, particularly if they are smaller dealers).

I would say two years later with the economy being down some...you should have no problem scoring a nice car with 60-70k miles for around $7k. Good luck.
