What should I offer?

[SIC FIDDY]

Well im here for the experts opinion. Im a noob to the site but not to stangs. I am going to go look at the car listed below on Wednesday and was curious as to what you guys think is a good price for this car. Here is the link...

He is asking 4200 and I was thinking about 4k. Car looks clean, but I have yet to see or drive it. Any help would be great

i would low ball first 3750 cash in hand let him smell it

LOL

 

[pouya]

um yea if there is no problems, get it, but be ready to spend money on it constantly

 

[SIC FIDDY]

Yea, I have cash in hand. Trust me, I know what kind of cash can go into these things. I use to have a 91 lx with a CHP 347. Bought a house so I had to let it go. Now its time for a new one.

nice car, buy it

 

[Superstang21]

I like it. I would low ball him too, at least at first... Just make sure to take a really good look at it. It may not be a original california car. Also look at all the usual places the Foxes get messed up like the back of the drivers seat floor pan and the A pilliars sometimes crack near the top of the windshield etc... Good luck

very nice car from the pictures. You have to see it up close... Make sure to check the torque boxes and the frame... But, overall looks nice... And welcome to Wicked Stangs Mustang Community...

4200 is ridiculous for that car. 3k tops. i sold my 92 lx with 130k on the clock with hpipe, mufflers, and i think pulleys for 2800 and it was pretty clean. it didnt have ponies though. fools want way to much for foxes these days.

car looks in good condition...the guy said obo so go for the best offer

 

[blackstallion06]

Go up and take a look at the car, drive it ect.. if you reall like it offer him 3500 cash in a envelope. Tell him this is all you could come up with if not I would neg a price looks really clean. I sold my fox for 8000$ up there right before I moved to San Diego. I really wish I would have kept it though...

 

[alaninsd1]

i agree, u tell him your price and tell him take it or leave it pretty much...

 

[SIC FIDDY]

Thanks for all the replies. I figure 3500 cash in hand should bring this thing home with me. However, if the car is solid I wont go home without it, reguardless of price. I have no problem heading out to the dyno day even though the numbers wont be amazing. Im meeting up with the guy on Thursday so I will post pics if everything works out. -Charlie

you cant have the im buying it anyway attitude. take what your willing to pay, and pay no more than 80% of it. say these exact words "i know waht you want for the car and im going to save you time. instead of i go low and you go high i will tell you waht im willing to pay, xxxx amount of dollars cash right now, if thats not enough tell me and i understand" and be willing to walk. i bought my 95 gt for 4200 dollars and the guy wanted 7k.


btw that is a bone stock fox with 100k miles. i wouldnt pay a dime over 3k for it. im sorry, there is nothing great about a fox that it would hold its value like that. but thats just me.

 

[alaninsd1]

thats what im talkin bout...wow from 7K to 4200..youre good bro..lol you gotta do somethin like that Sic fiddy...gottta be smart

well the dyno will give you a baseline for mods to come. and it's not just about dyno #'s it's all the s#!t we do one the way there and to hooters.

I've had several Stangs throughout the years, including a few foxes. Low to mid $3k tops. Description doesn't say much about condition of suspension, bottom end or interior. As mentioned above, check the floor pan under the driver seat, and add to that the ash tray door. Its minor but its shows a degree of detail.

good luck with the car man, cant wait till you can go cruising with us!

 

[SIC FIDDY]

Thanks for all the tips. Today is finally the day I get to go check this thing out. I have a price in mind im sticking to after doing some research on other notches in this condition. If all goes well I will have pics up tomorrow.
