3. Lamotta Performance
I figured with it booking at 13 and adding 5k for the transmission and motor it was somewhat a decent price.. no?
A highly modified Mustang is difficult to appraise and is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay. The prices I gave you are fair and reasonable for a highly modified Mustang such as this one. However, if the mods were installed professionally and you really like the car, you will have to decide what you will pay.
I would start the negotiations at $13k and not move from that number for at least a week.
The retail cost of the motor and trans does not matter AT ALL. The only thing that matters is what the fair market value of the car is.
In general mods REDUCE the value. At best if they are mods that are not cheesy and are installed professionally, then it is a wash.
Mods NEVER EVER ADD VALUE PERIOD. Unless you have money to burn of course...

you'll never buy a modified car listening to killy.
he has some knowledge, but on this he just seems to be way off center.
check Ebay, these cars sell for the 20k range with those mods all day there. they are not gonna come down 8k for you because its modified LOL.
offer them 17k and see how it goes.

Kilgore, I understand where your coming from. This dealership/autogroup which ever you would like to call it, it ran by two guys. My uncle has bought many cars from them. Their are not there to scam you like CarMax or any other larged used car dealership. They were very very straight foward with me on the car and the numbers for my car. I talked to him about negoiating on the price but he said with what your trading in I cant lower the price of this one.
I checked on ebay like Steeda said and he does seem correct. Every supercharged mustang besides the 03/04s are going for right around 20-22.I do understand what you mean about negoiating, ive done that before at normal dealers. This specific dealer is very open, they have about 15 cars on their lot. Its pretty much a family owned Mustang Autogroup.

With a built short block, built trans, and a blower.
They probably have more than 18K into the drivetrain including labor.
I would say get it for what you can, color is nice, looks clean, installed and tuned by a good shop. I say go for it.

and Insurance is cheap on this car too. 
:SNSign:Who cares what they have in it? That is their f'n problem
I still say lowball the piss out of them and hold for a week.
Good luck with your deal, it is a nice looking car.
if he wants the car it is his problem.

I dunno about your purchase but those pics sealed the deal on what wheels to buy.
I've been looking all over for MG pics with those wheels in black.
