Default Whats it worth?

Due to the economy being so great right now I was recently laid off. Unemployment checks sux and I am being forced to sell my 1988 mustang gt. I was wondering if some of you "experts" could give me a an idea on how much I could get out of it. Some info: 1988 GT automatic b&m ratchet shifter with B&M shift kit, 116,xxx mi, Flowmaster 44's, bbk shorty headers and off road h pipe, k&n filter, heavy duty rear springs, KYB rear shocks. Just recently I have replaced the water pump, timing cover, and alternator, along with many new sensors and tune up parts. The car has Kelly chargers with a good amount of tread left on them. The windshield has a rock chip and crack in it. the paint is kind of warn, and has 2 little bits of surface rust. Neither are bigger than a quarter. The interior is in decent shape just dirty. It is a decent car it just has a little miss that I could never get rid of. I daily drive the car and have never had a major problem with it. It just needs some TLC that I cant afford to give it.

im no expert but id say anywhere from 3500 to 5500 tops .. but it depends on where your from and its gonna end up being worth what someone will be willing to pay for it .and how long you can hold out for waiting for a high bidder ... blue book on my car is under 6 k last time i checked and i paid over 10 k and ive been offered over 12 k so there ya go lol

I am thinking more along the lines of $2500-$3500. As stated above, it depends on your area.

Wow that's a lot more that I thought. Maybe I should post some more close up pics its not as pretty from close up. Some of the trim doesn't look that nice.




The door handle is kind of pitted and somebody decided to paint in the mustang gt lettering and a few of them are pealing.

Most of the lettering isn't this bad but this is the worst one.

I suppose it could be repainted easily enough.

Like I said it could be a really nice car with a little work and a few bucks.

I agree with the ^^^...$2500-3500...would be closer to $4000 with a T-5 & correct wheels....give it a little TLC and see what happens!

being an auto really hurts the price...I know KBB.COM won't agree ...I'd say really clean her up put a 3500 price tag and sell what happens. if you have a set of ponys just sell them outright
