Price on a Mach 1
I have been looking around for a 04 comp. orangeMach 1. I have seen the prices range from a little over 20k to a little more than 30k for similar cars all in greatcondition as far as the body and nothing over 30,000 miles. The question is what should I expect to pay for the 04 with a 5sp and no more than 30,000 miles on it? The reason I ask is because 10k is alot of money to be the difference in price for almost identical cars.

RE: Price on a Mach 1
I personally would not buya mach 1 over 20k unless it was in pristine condition. I actually just saw a mach1 parked for sale at a nearby parking lot. It was dark shadow grey had 6k miles brand new condition. He was asking $18,900 obo, sojust be patient and you can find a good deal.

RE: Price on a Mach 1
Thanks, I really like the Mach and really want the orange, but any color will do fine. I see you guys are saying that about 20k is the average, but why am I seeing ones with 30,000 miles for almost 30k, the cars aren't even in that perfect of shape.

RE: Price on a Mach 1
I paid 20k for mine with 25k miles o it. I could've held off and got one a little cheaper from a private seller. There was a guy on here a while back selling one for 17k with about 10k miles on it. I have no idea what the deal is with the $30k Mach you saw!

RE: Price on a Mach 1
They must have some kind of modification done. You just have to go the owner or dealership and see if they would come down on the price. I got mine at a dealership, and they would not come down on the price. So I left and came back a week later, the car wasn't sold yet. I made another offer and they still wouldn't come down on the price, so I left again. About 2 weeks later I am still looking for a Mach 1, I decided to go back to the dealership and try them one more time. So they finally came down to the price I originally ask for 21k.

I hate dealerships.

RE: Price on a Mach 1
These were private sellers with completely stock cars, even down to the air filters. I offered one guy 22k for the car because that seem like a fair deal for an 04 comp. orange with a 5sp and 9,000 miles but the guy laughed, I walked away on the spot and the guy has left like 20 messages knowing if I want to work on a price.
