I'm not sure why I'm posting this but I'm thinking of selling my 89 Foxbody 5.0 and its in great shape considering, but the windshield is cracked. I called around today for an estimate and a local shop wants $250 in/out/seals/etc. as does the glass doctor who comes right to your house. I feel like I should fix it because I think a cracked windshield would deter me from buying a car. What do you guys think? Try to sell it cracked, or spend the money to have it fixed first. Appreciate the input.

That really depends on what you're planning on asking for it... If you plan on asking 2k for a mustang with some blemishes, then people kind of expect things like that, if you plan on asking 5k and it's near perfect except for the windshield then I say fix it.

I would fix it, after seeing the cracked windshield they'll try to lowball you.
