My 1990 for sale... What do you guys think about price? Help me

[latham83]

right but i mean thats whole different opinion from you..
there are plenty of guys out there that also just want somethign thats done up already, fast, and a nice looking car...that won't have to dish money into it...
plenty of younger kids want this too.. or older gentlemen..its a wide range... it's just what your taste is..
but what you just decribed to me, about that car not going for more than 6k, is just about enough to make you wanna puke.. thats rediculous...
i will never ever put money into a car again.. its totally not worth it..
thats why im getting rid of this and buying a new wrx...quick, luxery, right out of the box.. no more f-in mods.

There are tons of 87-93 Mustangs on auto trader. Many asking 10-13K The same ones have been on there since December. The ones that are from 5-7K, they usually are gone in a few months. If you want around 9-10K, just sit on it, you never know. Even if it takes a year, these cars are getting older, and they are disappearing fast. I look at foxes as an investment. I agree with you, it seems like you should get more, but times are tough for some people.

That just doesn't make any sense. The reason people buy foxes is because they're cheap to purchase and cheap to make fast. It is rediculously cheap to make a fox run high 12s, which is what yours would probably run with an average driver and tires. You would have at least twice the money into a WRX to make it run 12s. Did it actually cost you $11k to make that car what it is?? I plan to have my 37k mile fox reliably in the 11s for probably $8k total... I don't see why you think modding these cars costs a million $.

WRX's are slow, plus you have to pay 3 times as much for a beat older one. Of course your not going to get back what you put into the car, unless your restoring a older car that has some value. Like blackened said, foxes are cheap. If you have that kinda money into that car you must of paid double for everything. I prob have about $9,000 or so in my car, maybe alittle more. Would I get THAT much back? No prob not but I would prob see $8,000 for it. If your putting money like that into a car and get mad because its not worth the extra your putting into it your in the wrong hobby my friend, drive a Geo metro.

Bingo.

 

[latham83]

lol you guys are getting the wrong idea about me..
i will invest zero money into my new 07 wrx.. because i just want something nice, reliable and new...and its quick.. i test drove it and fell in love.. what the hell do i care about quarter mile and all that stuff..
dude i invested money into my car for MY enjoyment.. i never gave a damn about 1/4 mile times or anything like that..
and yes there are plenty of people that want a nice fox thats done up..some people arnt just looking to make the thing a drag car..
im over this stupid car crap...
i could care less about how fast your 5.0 will be compared to my new wrx.

 

[latham83]

oh and by the way, i had 3 people in the last month say it was the nicest 90 they saw around here.. and that its worth at least 10k..
so when i sell it for 10k, ill let you know

 

[DMAN302]

You asked what the general consensus would be..seems you don't like the answer being provided...sorry.

I'd be willing to bet that none of them have any money to give you for it, who cares what they said its worth if they dont have the money. I dont believe I said my car was faster then a new wrx or anything like that, I said they were slow. Also didnt notice your car has 170k on it, dont think any fox has gone for that much with those miles on it. Like others said you wanted to know what we thought of your price, you just dont like the response.

 

[blackened88lx]

If you're not trying to go fast why did you put money into performance mods in your fox??

 

[ShortThrow50]

let me tell you guys like this. If someone came up to me with 15k cash. I would turn it down. I own my car along with 2 other vehicles. Some peoples garbage is another mans treasure. Wait for the right buyer

+1 Everyone knows you NEVER get back what you put into these older foxes...so if you are not prepared to take a loss (and sometimes a BIG one) when selling you need to just hang onto it until you do get the $ you are asking for it. Most that sell for high dollars have a ton done to them.....lots of money spent and they still lose their ass when they sell it. JMO.

at you avatar

 

[KlrSnk]

No offense man but except for the engine that car must be a real POS inside and out for that price. would you sell that supersharged stang of yours for that price. Or how about that 90 of yours.

Guy bought a 05 GTO and wants to get rid of the stang to fix it up. The outside is decent, has a few dings, the interior is excellent though, no stains, dash, door panels still look new.

And no the 92 would never sell for that much, but if someone offered me 4500 for the 90, id seriously think about it, ive got 1/2 in the car.

 

[Kevins89notch5.0]

and i cant even tell you how many car shows i've been too and people liked that i put the 60's chrome pony in place of the ford emblem..looks real clean and nice...
thats ur opinion though, and thats fine..

Yeah, but car shows guys, and fox body fans are two different things. Most carshow guys have older classics, or these an increasing amount who buyer newer stang and "customize them." At a recent show, a guy in his 60s had a 05 lime green GT. He did the complete engine in yellow, as well as the wheels, and some trim pieces here and there. All the "carshow" guys were telling him how nice it was, and how it was unique, and stood out in the crowd(all as if it was a good thing. Meanwhile, me, and several other younger guys with fox bodies were trying to hold back the laughter.

There's a handful of pretty well known internet standards for fox bodies. I can tell you most people don't like those stripes, those wheels, or that its an automatic. To each their own, but what I said stands for a majority.

and it seems like you people are missing the point that its not just a h/c/i mod i have... i mean christ,
its a dss racing short block, with 6000 miles on it... A NEW RACING BLOCK.. ok..i think i payed 1500 or somethign like that just for the short block alone...migh thave been more..i dont even remember..

Well I would piss on DSS if they were on fire. They're screwed over a good friend of mine, and I've heard other horror stories from them. Racing block? Sorry man, its the exact same as a stock block....unless you bought the DART block, which has 4 bolts on all main caps. That block alone is close to 2K. My friends Dart 331 from DSS ran him about 10K. THATS a racing engine.

The Cons always stand out, not the Pros. 170K miles, an automatic, the AC doesn't work, a lack of high HP, and those stripes/wheels are not aways popular.

I'm not trying to be an ass, just honest. My friend recently bought a 89 notch from the original owner. It had 64K miles on it. It had a H/C/I/blower, a built rear end, and a 1000hp fuel system. When dynoed it put down 442 running extremely rich. The AC system was all redone, and colder than most new cars. Oh, and the suspension. This car has had EVERY suspension piece replaced with aftermarket pieced from MM, Steeda, etc. It handles awesome. Considering the guy didn't do any of the work himself(it was all done by steeda), I can only image that parts and labor alone totaled 23K+. That on top of the 12K purchases price in 89. So, 35K invested, 12K asking price, and my friend got it for 9,250.

For 11K, someone could build a fox EXACTLY how they wanted. 2K for a 4 banger LX. 2K for body/paint work. 1K for the rend end, 2K for the tranny, and that leaves 4K for the engine setup. Yeah I know I'm missing some small items there, but I'm just showing the point that for 11K, your car would have to be EVERYTHING they wanted.

If someone wants a clean 5.0, low mileage ones can be had for 6-8K. If someone wants a street/strip car, you can pickup 500hp cars again for 8-10K if that.



Agreed!

4k for the engine? Thats a pretty ****ty ass setup. If you wanted real power you'd spend the 4k + on a blower. Let alone the engine.

First, you'd always pay more for a stock car, then atleast you got a car somebody hasn't ******ed all up. Its all in what the buyer wants to pay for it. Now personally if the car were white and a auto. I wouldn't even LOOK at the car. First i don't like white and i'd never buy a auto. Sure i might glance if it were red, but its still a auto and i'd never buy it. Its all in what the buyer is looking for. You gotta wait for a guy who wants your color, your interior, your shape and everything. Its just a waiting game. Me personally, i wouldn't buy a modifyed car. I bought my bone stock '91 5.0 5 speed bright red hatch with grey interior for 5250.00. Never been touched, all orginall, MINT FACTORY PAINT. Yah know, its like you almost want to restore it to stock and sell the car lol. THen just sell the aftermarket parts on ebay seperate.

 

[1.8kmint]

^ not my car I'm just saying thats what I've seen for sale around here and he wants 2-3x more for his car when there prolly putting down close numbers.... I bought my car completely stock except for the cold air intake filter was changed to k and n and the suspension was custom. Not the ****ty chinese mounting brackets either.
