I agree with the anniversary year not adding value. He said the lowest he would go is $9500 I thought it was still high. What I like abou tithing his that it is the original owner and only 86 k on it.

What would your plans be for the car? Drive it as is? Are you going to get the HP bug? Suspension bug? Are you happy with factory handling and performance?

I'm restoring my 88' Coupe and I know I already have lots of money into and lots more to go, I'll be $12-15k into mine by the time i'm done and would only be able to sell it for $5-6k when done so I understand the value of that car already having clean interior that needs nothing and a good paint job. Talk that guy down to $8k'ish and only do tasteful mods and you'll keep the value up.

My plan for the car is to keep it stock for a year or two and then figure out what I want to do to it. I want a clean and stock car to start with.
 
He said he wouldn't go 8 because he said he could get that at a dealership(doubtful).

That's hilarious. Let reality bite this guy where it counts because he's obviously delusional.

I value Fox 5.0's differently than others because it's hard to find that mustang your considering for cheap. The cheap ones are beat up, need body work and paint, engine work, interior is stained, ripped and needs replaced and to get those cars to run and look decent it takes several thousands of dollars. Why not get an unmolested 5.0 that already runs and drives and looks great? You can skip to tasteful mods and enjoying right away. What's the dollar value on not having the headaches and burn out that we go through by restoring a car that isn't worth half (or less) than what we put into it?

If you guys were selling this 90 GT, how much would you let it go for? This is a rare find if this car runs and drives well, is well kept and needs nothing!

I went for a drive in it, it drove really nice.
 
Seems like a very nice car, but like others I have a hard time justifying the price. It is not a 5000 mile car or any limited edition or Cobra. To me it's about a 5-7k car depending on your location. For that price you can get a Cobra.
 
Like I said earlier I value Fox 5.0's differently. Even an average Mustang in the 4-6k range is still going to need work. We all have a vision for these cars and it's different for each person so anything we buy is going to get changed and tweaked and the cost goes up from there. If I could I'd buy a Mustang that didn't need interior and body/paint work. It's expensive to replace interior and get it right and it will cost 3-5k just for body & paint. To restore a car it can cost 12-20k depending on work you do yourself, where your starting from and how crazy you might get. Also there is a high divorce rate with big projects and if you finish it then you just bought that damn cow for life because you'll only get at the most $.50 for every dollar invested.

I'm probably about $5k into my Coupe and I still have about $1500 in engine stuff to go, full interior and the body and paint which I will do all myself over the next 3 years or so. It will still be a 4 lug 5.0 that if I was to sell they'll nip pick all my choices and insult all my hard work with a low ball offer. If I ever sell it I'll make sure the buyer agrees to shoot me after I sign over the title to ease my pain and suffering.

We all know a Cobra is a joke. If it's a true low mileage car then it's going to cost $20k and you can't justify driving a car that is a collector. If it's a Cobra with higher mileage then we all know it's still an under performing vehicle that needs a real HCI to get it going. If you do that then it's not much of a Cobra anymore and there's no reason to buy it unless you just like the stock styling of it.

I think this 90 gt has low enough miles to be excited about but not so low that you'd feel guilty driving it during the summer time. This seller is going to try to get top dollar for his car, naturally a buyer is going to try to buy the car for as little money possible. It's the nature of the beast but this guy is asking too much. In the end this vehicle, like any other vehicle, is only worth as much as somebody is willing to pay for it. The day we stand our ground and demand more money for our Mustangs is the day the value starts to go up. Everyday (as you can see on this site as well as others) our beloved 5.0's are getting restored tastefully and we must demand a higher dollar if we ever let them go or else the joke is on us.

Sorry if that was rant'ish
 
Nice clean car but I wouldn't go over 7500$. It isn't low enough mileage or special in any way for 9500$. I doubt very much that a dealer is going to give him 8k. If so the dealer is making up for it on the other end. If the op is willing to pay more that's up to him.
