I know this isn't really tech related but there was no where else to post. I am more than likely buying an '01 GT this weekend. Now coming from the nissan world I am not really with it as far as domestics go. I have a couple of questions for you guys. It has 50,000miles, owned by a lady, and she is asking $12,600. First of all, how bad of a price is that? Secondly, when I go to check it out, is there anything special I should look for? I'd appreciate your guys help/input. Thanks.

 

The price is a little high. Here is what kelly blue book says.. I used "Excellent" condition in my search but you should be paying about 9000-11000 depending on the condition. Hope things work out for ya!

Private Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes.

As with all cars, they are worth what someone is willing to pay. If you are looking for that car specifically, do your research before you go down there. You can find information about similar cars in the Auto Trader, Mustang Trader, and Corral.net. They have large listings of similar cars and should be able to help you find the price range of that car.

 

sorry, check auto trader. I dont feel thats a bad deal at all. just look for the normal accident related things. I dont really know of many parts that are really common to go out. I have not had many problems with that stuff

 

Depending on condition 00-01 GT's can be had for around $10,000. If you found a really clean one then price probably around $12,000. It all depends on what you want to spend.

 

I saw 02 and 03's with 50k with 17-18k price tags...

Hey guys, thanks for the input. Im meeting up with the lady Friday night to check it out so I'll let you all know how it turns out. Hopefully I'll be transfering into the Ford world.

 

you will deff. enjoy it. just not filling the tank

 

I'm hoping to not fill up that much. I really only drive about 5 miles to work and then back each day and then here and there. Usually take my g/f's car anywhere we go...easier on gas...lol.
