It DOES NEED WORK though. The heater core is leaking, the AC lines are all plugged up because I was going to remove the compressor but never did, the paint needs help, there is a leak in the sunroof, i had the trans rebuilt but its not shifting correctly, it needs new injectors (I think), strut tower, needs brakes, has a cracked headlight, small chip in the fiberglass hood, quater panel moldings, the motors in the windows need to be replaced, the horn does not honk, and some other minor body work.

Alot of the stuff is minor work but its just work that I dont have the time and money to do right now. And im sorry there is no pic but I dont have a scanner and there is no other way for me to get pics up. Sorry.

IF YOU WERE ME HOW MUCH WOULD YOU ASK FOR IT. Any response would help because im clueless at this point and I need to get rid of the car FAST. Thanks.

 

2000 dollars, get it fixed and painted and 5000 dollars.

 

I would love to do that but if I had the money to fix it I wouldnt be selling it... ya know what I mean? Im just in over my head with money and I just need to get rid of it as is. I was thinking about taking it over to Maco and get some maco paint on it just to make it look a little bit better but I really dont even have 300 dollars to do that... basically im broke as a joke and I have 2 cars I can barely pay for.

 

I understand, we all have those times. or even sometimes it is a life long thing. I wish u good luck. I would take all perf parts off and sell them and then sell the car in stock form for 2 grand

 

yea I was thinking about doing that but alot of the stuff that I have on there now I would not want to put on another stang (if i get another one)... so i really just want to get rid of everything that I have on it as one. Any fast replies on how much you would pay so that I can get an idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.

Doug,

Not wanting to have a go at you mate, but you are a kid who lives at home with his parents. You do not know the meaning of broke. Try missing your mortgage payment 3 months in a row and nearly getting forclosed. Having your ar taken off you etc etc.

The best advice I can give you is to advertise the car at a price you want for it, and keep on reducing it by $500 or $250 every two weeks until you sell it. This is what I have done with the last three cars I have sold and it seems to work.

eBay is a good idea too. I am not too stupid to realize what broke means, lol. Advertise it in paper first for 3500 and describe well, like "some rust needs minor work, 3500BO Need to sell" "Great project car" That stuff catches interest, lol

 

$3000 will be a good price

 

Yea, that is what I am going to do. I am putting it in the paper tomorrow and hope that I get someone to ****** it up. I think that I am going to put it in the paper for $3800 - $4000 because if thats what I am asking I will only get $3000 for it ya know. If that dosent get rid of it than I will just put it in AutoTrader and pray. LoL. That is about all that I can do at this point. Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate the quick replies! Thanks.

 

Where in NJ are you located? I think i have and idea of a buyer.
Send an email with list of mods and description and price to jrflans@msn.com
He might be interested. Tell him Doug thought you would be interested.

 

I live in Hamilton, NJ. I am going to send the email to jrflans@msn.com right now. Thanks alot. I really appreciate it.

 

Alright... well I just tried to send him an E-Mail but my email isnt working right now. I dont know whats wrong with it. If you could send him the email for me I would greatly appreciate it. If you cant I can just wait until I can get my email working but if you will here is the information. You can just copy it and paste it in an email.

Thank You.

 

Just emailed him the link to this thread. I will find out from him and post or he might post if he has a name on here.

 

Ooo ok... Cool... Im looking foward to hearing from him... is he a friend of yours?

 

Nope, My favorite Uncle. He has been looking for a fox, but also wants turbo for his F-150, he has a procharger now, but wants more power, so I am not sure if he will buy it, but he will probably be interested. Good Luck, Have any pictures?

 

I do have pictures but I have no way to get them onto the computer. My digital camera is not working and my scanner is not hooked up.

 

hmm, that stinks. Well if you do get an oppurtunity it would sell better online if there wrre pics

 

Yea I know... I have it in the For Sale & Wanted section for 4200 obo but I didnt get any replies so I just dropped it to 3700. I am going to try and see if I can put it in public storage for a while. I'm going to call and get some prices today. Hopefully this will work out and I will be able to pull it out in a couple of months.

 

That car could go for 3k on eBay, put it on there and see what happens. eBay brings big money for anything. lol
