Value Of A 2000 Mustang Gt

[zakarha]

I'm looking at a 2000 GT in performance red with tan leather interior and 77,800 miles it seems to be in great condition but they're asking $6,900 this didnt seem like a terrible price to me until I looked up the book value and in excellent condition the value was around 5,600. The thing is you never see GTs around my area for even close to that price unless they're in very bad condition. I guess my question is should I not worry about the book value and just go with what they're selling for in my area?

By the way here is the link to the craigslist ad http://dothan.craigslist.org/cto/4501407253.html

The car looks nice enough but that is still a little high. If it had 30k on the odometer, I might think about that price. I would say the Blue book price would be about right. Offer the guy 5k and see what happens. I might pay 6k but not a penny over.

Good looking car though. Just needs a 5 speed for the added fun factor.

That car appears to be in excellent shape, all in all I'd say that's a decent price. I would certainly offer less and play hardball. But, in my neck of the woods (Bay Area) I see clean/low mileage GT's selling for that and more. Sometimes you do have to throw the book value out based on where you live and the relative cost of things there.

There's another GT in similar condition for almost the same price not too far away but I don't think its a factory color, and I definitely prefer the tan interior. Its also a manual which I think I would prefer. Does anyone know if this color is factory? http://pensacola.craigslist.org/ctd/4473860303.html

There was an optional color called Sunburst Gold. I just Googled 2000 Mustang colors. However, their color sample did not look close to that. Could be the dark shadow they shot those pictures in though. Good looking car but I am not crazy about the color.

and it has V6 wheels

They are what 1999-2001 Mustangs GT came with standard.

I would buy that car the price isn't that bad I mean its in great shape and has decent mileage on it.

Those are definitely V6 wheels/tires, not the factory 17" wheel diameter for the GT. I don't recognize that color at all and upon looking at American Muscle's color guide that color does not exist.

They are GT rims, they are known as starfish rims by those that have them on their Mustangs. My 2001 GT came with them stock. The size of the rims are 17's and came with the 245/45 tires that GT's came with.

They are 100% the rims that the car came with new. My 2000 GT 'vert has them too.
