How much do you think I can get for my car?
Car facts:
2005 Auto V6 Redfire stang
27k miles
Mods in sig, I would put the rear seat back in and throw on the 87 octane tune.
I'm hoping at least 10k, maybe 11. I was planning a drag car 5.0, but I want a fast daily driver and reliability so I am going to finance a mach 1, S197 GT, or LS1 f-body (
) and use the money from the stang as a down payment. I might be paying out the *** for insurance but I will get what I finally wanted fairly easily:
-sick V8 exhaust sound
-mid-low 12sec daily driver (with bolt-ons/internals, no forced induction)
Any input is appreciated and if you know anyone who wants a low mileage S197 V6 stang in the Long Island/ Upper NJ/NYC/Staten Island area let me know.
What do you guys think I could get?
PS-I have in my garage unused, unreturnable dual pypes delete axleback, and stock gt dual axleback if anyone wants to come and pick them up for a cheap price. PM if interested. I also have the JBA dual conversion kit (reverse y-pipe) too if anyone is interested.

You MAY find a private buyer...but it may be tougher than you think.
I just looked and trade will be 6-7K. They are retailing cars for under $10K similar to yours...so don't expect anywhere close to that from a dealer. Our local dealers have several older 6's sitting ont he lot for $10K +/-...and they just sit there collecting dust. Brand spankin' new 6's can be had for $14-15K...so folks are going to jump on those deals 99/100.
Why fear the FI? For ALLOT less money, you can get a reliable and super fast scoot. $5K and you have what you want. $5K to step up big time....or $20+K (maybe more) to really step up.
I plan on running an X as soon as my warranty vanishes. I wont got for low 12's..but low 13's is a realistic and affordable goal keeping longevity and driveability in check.
