It's all about what it's worth to you. I just let my Mystic go for $7500. It had 135k miles, but was in really good condition considering that. Mine came with 2004 Cobra wheels and tires, plus the stock wheels and tires as well, so that helped some. I feel I got a good price for it. I had tried selling off and on since January, mainly on forums here and there though. Let me be the first to say DO NOT let the paint scare you. When I got mine, the front/rear bumpers had clear coat peeling something terrible. I had both bumpers, the hood, and the side skirts all done at the local Ford dealer (who offers a lifetime warranty btw) for under $1300. I don't know much about painting, but that wasn't bad at all if you ask me. Also, apparently some of the restrictions have been lifted because they handed me a small bottle of leftover paint to use for touch ups in other areas. For that one, it definitely needs a bath and wax, but from the pic it doesn't look like it'd take much more. Be sure to find out what kind of mods it has. If it's heavily modded, I'd probably try to stay away from it. The only Mystics that might be going to raise in value (which will take a good while, not anytime soon) are the lower mileage ones as mentioned above. I know for under $10k you can get a really nice, under 100k mile SN95 Cobra. It's just all about what the paint is worth to you. Once you know the miles and mods, this may be a steal, but it's hard to say right now. Personally I love the mystic and hope to have another one someday. Good luck with your decision.
