1 owner, Bone Stock, 57k miles: Whats it worth?

[ModMike1572]

I'm certainly not desperate, but if the right deal comes along I'd like to jump back into another stang.

Found a 2004 black convertible. 57k miles. What really intrigues me is that it's a 1 owner car and is bone stock. I get tired of seeing all the solid axle, turbo, big modded cars for sale. I actually want to start from scratch and mod it myself so this is a big plus.

Anyway, the dealer has it up for 18,988. It's a consignment car. I figured, what the hell. I could swing that. Only problem is, after all the fee's I'm looking at 20,6xx out the door. I havent negotiated anything, just asked what kind of deal they could do for me and that's what they came up with.

Anyway, what do you guys think. At what point would this car be a 'good deal'? I'm thinking otd 19k or under..

I think that is a great price. To me that is a convertible at coupe price. Just paid $23, 600 for my SB vert with 22k miles. I would only purchase a SB and it had to be a drop top so I paid what the market deemed as value. Mine was at an auction on eBay from original owner. Minor tasteful mods which I appreciated as well. I don't know the production numbers on your particular example but I think it is extremely reasonable.

That seems like a very fair price the dealerships asking

I made a call on that car before i bought mine. I wanted to come see the car but they told me it was at the body shop getting the bumper re painted because it had some "scratches." I find my low mile TR shortly after and never got a chance to look at this car.

I was going to say...parts of the rear bumper and especially the front bumper of the car look to be kind of dull. Not sure if its just the reflection or what. Id check into that for sure.

Pretty sure its just the sun, but yeah pictures can be deceiving! Other then that the car looks great. The black in black looks awesome. And to be honest, their asking price seems almost too good to be true. Makes me think there are issues with the car because they could easily be asking $23, 000 for the car. If you can get it for even the asking price you will be getting a good deal.

23k for a car with 57k miles? I would say the price is about right for a dealer.

i wouldnt touch it ive seen clean low mile cobras for cheaper you just have to be patient. it took me like a year to find mine. it had 12k miles for 23k and is a sonic blue coupe.

 

[ModMike1572]

I said I would give him 19k OTD and he turned it down.

Best he said he could do was 18,800 for the car with fee's comes to $20,400.

I think it's a fair deal, but doesnt really make me jump out of my seat to go get it.

Top goes down, price goes up!
Love the SB by the way.

I called about that car last month. I was ready to buy but passed due to other "projects' I think its priced fairly

Yea, I don't think asking $23,000 would be crazy. Would I pay that much? No, but it gives dealers room to work with, so I'll say again that I think it's a good deal. Good luck!

That in Cali would run around 23 or 24k.

A little too much for me. Convertibles aren't as much demand as coupes so i wouldn't take it. What you are wanting is what I would ask.

 

[03cobra#694]

Buy it, we need another one in the PG/PC area.
Must be up in the St. Pete area.

Great deal IMO...

Apparently the $0.25 price difference between 91 and 93 octane is a little too much for you...

It doesn't come out much this time of year due to the rain Mike. Drive it to work quite a bit in the other seasons. I'm out in the D Creek area, and work up in Murdock.

Cool, I'm all the way up in northwest pc, which is actually closer to north port.
