what people forget is that what you price your car at in one part of the country may sell and in other parts may not sell. It's simply supply and demand. $5000 for a 98 in AZ would get laughed at. I couldn't sell my 00 V6 for that and it's been superbly maintained.

No one thought a Ford GT would sell for $250,000 yet a local dealership here sold 3 of thembetween 225-250K. Supply and Demand.

 

That sucks lol....

 

Congratulations on the sell. Now be prepaired for the biggest pain of your life, getting a car that's old and fast, and that will always be in the shop.Hell, mines only 12 years old, and if it goes more than3 months without seeing a shop for something serrious I'm lucky.

 

Theres a plus to having several mechanics and engineers in the family and as friends. Im so pumped for this beast tho lol.

 

Well just remember, this is not going to be as easy as you think, and don't think you're gonna be able to handle the car as well.

 

it's gonna suck for you. you're gonna want to drive places, but won't be able to cause your car will be getting worked on. you should probably use about $500 or $1000 of what you got and buy a beater car as well.

Look at my buddies Barracuda as an example. Car looked great, his dad and grandpaw did a few fixeruppers and it ran fine for like a month, then after that, one thing after another, after another went bad. Now it just sits as it needs new shocks/struts for the front end, and maybe a few more things. After that he bought a 1980s truck, same thing, problem after problem, he then woke up and bought an 00 V6 stang, but his brothers father in law really wanted it so he bought it from him and now he drives an 06 Titan.

Point is, you're getting yourself in over your head.

 

Lol you guys make me laugh. I wanted to go places when i had my Mustang but i couldnt because my Dad wouldnt let me drive. Now.. i still cant drive.. and i dont have a car... but i want to get the Camaro.. fix it up... then drive it by next schoolyear. I plan on checking everything out that i need for it to drive safely, replace that stuff, then work on hp. I was even thinking of dropping the huge amount to get rear disc brakes. Ive only got one more year of high school, and im planning on this being my Senior year car.. then ill either sell it or put it in storage til im done with college.

 

we make you laugh? ok, you just said you couldn't go anywhere with your mustang. now you're getting a faster car to fix up, which you still won't be able to drive anyway because you're grounded. then after your daddy finally lets you drive your own car, you won't be able to because you'll be too busy trying to make it run. you're the center of the joke here buddy.

 

Hey... how bout you pull the dick out of your *** nanaki... honestly.. i made it pretty clear... and in a nice manner... THAT I DONT ****ING CARE WHAT YOU SAY... Im getting this car.. and im going to fix it up if need be... ive got the resources it takes... ive got the time.. im having my Girlfriends Dad who was a car dealer for severalyears help me look, along with my Dad and my Grandpa who both know what to look for in cars... Why cant you just have said "good luck andcant wait to see the out come"instead of being a dick and detering me from accomplishing something pretty astounding for someone my age.. I mean honestly... What would the harm have been there? I understand its not going to be easy but you dont have to stress the same point OVER AND OVER again... I COULDNT drive when i sold myMustang..and so i had no need for a car.. now that im looking again ill have plenty of time to fix it upuntil i can drive... and i wasnt grounded we had a deal, if i getaB average i can drive, if not i cant.. i wasnt getting aB average when he stopped letting me drive...(oh and btw... i didnt mean to offend you when i say you make me laugh... but sure seems like i did the job..)
