What is a fair price for a 96?

[timbo]

I may sell my 1996 SHO and was wondering what folks thought was a fair asking price. Details of car below.

1996 SHO 72K Miles, Ebony Black
Chrome wheels, tan leather, JBL, CD, no dings, slight paint checking on hood. New brakes, AC compressor, front SARC struts. For the most part, very clean, kept in garage in Florida.

You can try Edmunds.com

They seem to have a relatively good handle on fair pricing. Just answer a few questions and the sit e will give you a price estimate. Might not be what you want to see but it will probably be a very accurate ballpark for what you will get.

$5k trade-in, $6400 private, dealer retail $8300.

I was hoping to get 7K, so I may not be that far off.

Geesh. Good luck. I traded in my '97 SHO with 82k miles on it. Got a whopping $4400 for it. Had it For Sale for over a year, and no one wanted it for $6k.

Indeed... I was only able to get $7000 for my 99 with 65K miles.

I bought my 97 with 72k from a private seller for $5000. Some times I feel like he got ripped off, but thats what he wanted for it. Made me happy

Thanks all, maybe I'll shoot a bit lower. Bought a boat for the family. Another hole to sink money in. Hopefully Larson treats customers better than Ford.

Geeez, I got my '97 off of EBay for 7,500 dollars and thought that was cheap considering others were selling for higher and the retail was 10,500 at the time. ****, I don't care anyway, I am pleased with this car and don't plan on selling it any time soon, by the time that I do decide to sell or trade, I will have well gotten my money out of the car in the sheer-all-out-fun department. Happy Selling!

The used car market sucks ass for sellers. Blue book values are seemingly irrelevant.... thanks 0% APR....

Used SHOs are going for that cheap? Wow, I was thinking about getting a 96-98 SHO, but didn't know they were that cheap...I saw a 99 for sale that was going for $11,000 and assumed they were all up there. That SHO must have been garage kept all of its life.

Going for and selling for are two different things.

I could ask 20k for my car. I'd never get it though.

I was thinking about getting rid of my Black 99 and I was just curious to see what is was worth to the members on the forum...Its got 69K on it K&N cone filter Flow master 40 series mufflers new brakes and rotars in the front and since April when I got her she has always for the most part garaged and the miles that were put on were highway miles...NH to Malden MA everyday...If someone could let me know there opinion I would appreciate it...Thanks again
