Default How much should I ask for this mustang?

He's asking 10,900, and I know it's not worth that. What should I offer on it? because I really like the car

Except for the neon lights

Considering it says price is firm, good luck getting it lower, still wont hurt to try. However, if it is a solid twin turbo set up and not a hack job, his price is actually pretty reasonable for a car in such nice shape.

It looks as if the owner took alot of pride in this car and invested alot of money in it as well. From the picture, the condition looks superb and looks outstanding for a FOXBODY model. I think the price is reasonable, and maybe you can talk him down $10,000 flat. I'd definately check it out in person though. Good luck, and again, that car looks awesome!!!

I went to check out the car today and it was awesome.

I took it for a test drive and it was a lot calmer at low speeds than I expected it to be, but when you open up the throttle the turbos kick in hard.

he said he would go as low as 10,500, but I have to see what I can do about getting my 03 sold first :/

thanks for the input guys

That car has not been raced becuase it's not going to pass tech at any dragstrip I've ever been to.
May not be as fast as somebody thinks it is............

Nitrous bottle in the back seat would have to go

22psi on a 146k motor = oil leaks

Getting rid of the nitrous would probably be the first thing I do

And I'm getting it checked out by a mechanic before I make a decision

Why wouldn't it pass tech?
