That car is worth $10-11k, maybe $12-13k at the most.

Is it being sold by a dealer or private party?

Who installed all those mods?

Who tuned it?

You need to know the answers to my questions before you even consider buying it...

1. Its being sold by a Mustang Specialist Group here in florida

2. The mods were installed by Lamotta Performance

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?

here are a couple pictures of the car:

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...

01Steeda · Apr 19, 2007

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 Trout · Apr 19, 2007

So you are saying just cough up the asking price, no negotiations?

01Steeda · Apr 19, 2007

no i didnt say that

and yes I did edit after your post.. not even haven read what you posted.

sean05 · Apr 19, 2007

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.

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.

Kilgore Trout · Apr 19, 2007

There are PLENTY of other Mustangs out there.

streetstang03 · Apr 19, 2007

i dont know about you guys, but I've heard a lot of complaints about DDS's modular motors

I'd offer $14k for that car.

Kilgore Trout · Apr 19, 2007

Exactly SS03!

01Steeda just wants the car to be worth more because he does not want to face the fact that HIS OWN heavily modified car has lost a lot of value due to similar mods. Its human nature to feel this way...

01Steeda · Apr 19, 2007

LOL,.. no I am just watching the market and seeing what the cars ARE selling for.... big difference.

I could really care less as I wont be selling my car anytime soon. it's value is whatever it is worth to me.

and as I said earlier they are selling for close to 20k.

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.
