35th Anniv FOR SALE HELP

Damn, two low mileage silver 35th's for sale on the same day? See other thread.
He wants $13,000 firm for his with 2000 or so miles less and his is a 'vert. I'm assuming yours is a coupe, but with the added S/C, you could probably get about the same. So, I'd say $13,000 also.
You guys are killing me!

Understandable, we all want our cars to be worth alot more than they really are. Your 35th sounds like one nice ride, I'd keep it especially with the SC pushing out some fine numbers.
As for the SVT Contour, they are nice handlers from what I hear. I wouldn't go crazy with engine mods. You already have that in the GT.
How many miles does the Contour have? How much they askin?

Sounds good, go for it.

Unfortunatly,this "market value" for our cars are not good.I've contacted some ford dealers and the 35th package to them is nothing.My 35th vert w 18k original is ultra mint and I've been tracking prices for 35th's on ebay for 6 months and some "mueseum' cars w/under 1,000 miles are fetching no more than $15k. Granted,most will not let them go for that but it just shows you that the cars WILL NOT fetch what we think they should. This is a sad reality when we think we have something a little bit special and we baby,pamper and garage these cars to receive nothing more than a SLIGHTLY above avg. value for them.This is why I'll never buy another vehicle like this to baby and pamper.Just buy a car and drive it daily,or when nessasary to get your fix 'cause if you don't YOU will not get the value out of the car. Believe me,I too was going to s/c my car but in reality it JUST KILLS the resale value Also dont bother with the NADA or kbb value for the 35th.We will never get anything near it.Sorry to depress.........
