That does seem a little high. Like people have said, the walking out the door a few times will make them rethink the deal. Also, you might be able to use the whole price of premium gas right now, just a thought.

RE: few questions, buying a mach
Well i went and looked at it. I must say, its in great shape. Only a few blemishes. Inside is clean and there was hardly any rust ( just some surface stuff underneath).Other then that, holy crap. I’ve been in Gts and driven them, but when i sat down in this beast, lets just say im in love lol. I think the seats are real comfy and everything has a good feel to it. Now, the bad part. the price. To start off the game ( yes game, we all know thats how buying a car works lol) we went low and offered him 20k. Naturally he said no. Apparently there is a guy who has put a deposit down and is buying it for 24890. But I don’t know why you would do that and two weeks later still not have it in your driveway. So we talked and were going to go back, go low again with 23 ish and then bump it up and try to get 23,900. But as of now, its not in my driveway, but i want it to be

Dude, I've got a AB 2003 Mach1 with just under 15,000 miles on it. I'll sell it to you for under $20,000. This is not a joke! I've recently gotten married and the Mach doesn't fit the married (with children)lifestyle. You can see pics at www.cardomain.com/ride/3013972. You can call me at 321-693-2735.

Dude, go find a low mileage mach from a private party! I am picking my AB 03 up this friday and am paying 19K for her. She's got 8500 miles on the clock. I know you can do better than that. Dealerships...stealerships.

RE: few questions, buying a mach
Did you go to Kelley Blue Book and price out the car? They'll give dealer trade in value and retail price. I doubt they paid a whole lot for it through an auction. I would take the advise from the other posts and not spend more than 20 for it. Like they said there are a lot of low mile cars out there that can be had for a good price, especially with the gas prices going through the roof.

RE: few questions, buying a mach
we offered him the blue book value 20-21. Naturally he said no. His argument was somthing along the lines of, its a limited production car and it dosnt follow the kbb value and how the car WILL sell at their price of 25k.
