Truly impressed at the insane prices people want for used cars out there on Marketplace

Also the effort people put into their ads is sad.

Crappy pictures. 3/4 pictures, blurry, cars dirty, no engine bay pictures, no interior pictures.

Then you ask them a question and you get one word replies.

And just zero effort all around

"I haven’t started it since 2018 needs fuel pump batteries tires. It sets very low to the ground. It would be hard to get it onto a trailer."

Just random pictures of the car sitting in a parking lot. A portion of the car not even in photographs. Car hasn’t been washed in weeks.

The prices anywhere for any Mustang or Mustang related parts are just crazy.

I don’t know about some of you, but recently when looking for Fox parts on eBay, it’s amazing that people are asking 2x and 3x the money for a used part (sometimes in poor condition too) when LMR sells the same part brand spanking new for 2x less…

Example:
Fox quad shock mounts w/hardware…. These are on eBay for anywhere from $50-$90 (and in some instances shipping fee on TOP of that cost! $90 for used, crusty quad shock mounts with no hardware…

LMR cost for brand new mounts, with all hardware:
$69.99

I get it wanting to make some $$, but I can’t justify supporting an individual seller with used parts that’s within $10 +/- of brand new…

—-

I’ve seen some Fox Mustangs as well that are not worth the asking price.

The standard 1993 Cobras, what is going on there? I’ve seen some Sellers asking 93 Cobra R money for base 93 Cobras with high mileage, obvious repaints, no docs, no maintenance records, etc. I get it, 93 Cobras in general, produced in limited numbers and we’re now 30 years after production - but by no means are they Cobra R money. I mean no offense at all to 93 Cobra owners on here, but it just baffles me for the pricing “ask” justification.

"I'm looking to sale my car"

That one always gets me.

Foxes are the new classics. People are wanting the correct parts to restore them. They're willing to pay extra for the part that has the correct stamps and such.

That’s a fact man. Glad I swooped mine up before people got crazy. I’ve made the decision to restore mine instead of building a monster out of it like I had intended to.

I wish some of you experts would clearly state you price range today for an older car?

I have previously said that I previously owned many of these cars. I'll also say that I removed the Ford tag on a bunch of them (It's between radiator and radiator support frame). I'll send it back for free.

I couldn't see going over 10k for a 150k 3V

That still seems high to me but I get it pieces of everything have gone up.

You can get a Coyote with 50k less miles on it for that much

Those have actually seemed reasonably priced again. A lot of ones that need work or have a bad title in the 12-13k range but there are clean 100-120k cars being listed 14-16k

$120k for a replica cobra with blurry photos. Why wouldn't anyone just buy a new Backdraft cobra for $100k?

Hahahahaha

Not the first window sticker I've seen with a credit/option delete. But the first one I've seen with that many credits in a row. I've got 1000's of sample of window stickers, and this is the first one i've seen with multiple line credits like that. Later year models weren't as easy to do that with, as Ford shifted towards "packages" as opposed to being able to choose each and every option you wanted and didn't want.

Do you have the left side of that window sticker as well? I'd love to see it if you do.
