Have prices for 5.0's doubled and tripled?

5.SL0W · Feb 13, 2009

where i am you can buy a 98-03 gt for less than a fox in decent shape

Cobra_Dusten · Feb 13, 2009

depends, i am finding lots of fairly stock, sort of clean foxes for 2000+
i paid 5500 for my fox, with some good chassis and drivetrain mods, but a stock motor.

Maybe it's happening here on the east coast first. But I am seeing 90+ 5.0's with less then a 100,000 miles on em for 10--12,800 beans!

That's the problem. You can buy a whole bag of beans for a dollah.

Yep they are increasing in value. Hard selling market right now though. Bought mine for $5500 pretty stock with 64k on it 4 years ago in April. If it was still stockish like It was I feel I could get $6500 for it.

Makdaddymac · Feb 13, 2009

wow, i thought i was dreaming.
i know my car is worth twice as much as i paid for it as it sitting. but then i would only break even with all my mods.

after i put some rims and paint on it, its an easy 5k-6k car. again barely breaking even. but thats not bad to break even on a automobile...

its good to know, as of right now i am okay but the way everyone around me is losing jobs. i might have to sell my only real asset and well its good to know its worth something...

and i do agree i see 99+ clean gts for the same price as a clean fox ( i love 99-04 gt's...as i think about trading up for one)

I bought mine 5 years ago with 19,000 on it! 100% stock! (For 6200) Mite get 15,000 if it was still like that.

I didn't think they would climb up in price so early. There only 15 years old.

LS-what? · Feb 13, 2009

To be honest I noticed a hike in price when people started doing LS1 swaps or mostly down south chevy swap. For some reason the cant get g body malibu's to hook so they need a ford chasis to run a number....... Now if they only left that FORDmotor in there....

It's a very do-able swap, but not very popular in these parts.

The 5.0's are getting to that 20 year classic car number. Hell my car is 21 years old. Has anyone checked the ridiculous to believe NADA values for the '89 and earlier models. They value them at 8-12k. On another note '93 was 16 years ago in my book.

1989 Mustang Hatch

1989 Mustang Convertible

old_blue · Feb 14, 2009

mine turned 21 too.

Duncan McDougal · Feb 14, 2009

Oh and I forgot to add. I got mine for $1600 about 7 month ago. I guess there are still suckers in the world. I just don't know if it is the guy I bought the car from or me.

ryan218 · Feb 14, 2009

paid 1,500 for my 89 LX with 41k on it. ive got like 2,300 into it. i know i could sell it for alot more. but im holding onto this one.

DocG · Feb 14, 2009

Wow....too many options tho.

A close to stocker.....a modded car....both seem to go for the same.

I wonder tho too. I got mine for about $6k. Engine is built and rebuilt. Suspension is more than modded....body is solid and clean. Interior is solid...mostly new...and clean. I thought I got a great deal on it. Of course it has a leak, but no biggie for those who know Foxes.

From what I've seen on prices lately tho.....I feel like I could seel my car for like $10k compared to what others are offering.....at least. I got like $15k in receipts at least for work that's been done.

Hmmmm.....

cenok is family · Feb 14, 2009

paid 3k for mine 5 years ago, completely stock with 135k on the chassis, 90k on a "new" motor. not in bad shape but definitely needed work. there's no way i would ever get back what i've put into this car. not that i would sell it, it has sentimental value to me, but more than just what's in my sig, i've got a lot more money into restoration and repair as well.

LB0193 · Feb 14, 2009

they are going up........I cant find a clean one for under 8k or more.........

GTOreturns · Feb 15, 2009

I needed another dd for nice weather days so I was gonna buy another one. Looks like that mite be changing.

5.0Droptop · Feb 15, 2009

Prices here in the midwest are holding steady around the 4-6k area for a stock to mild mod car.

Ozz · Feb 15, 2009

Bought mine stock with 55K on it for $8500. Haven't seen anything similar selling at $17000 lately...
