I looked at a 2000 Stang GT Convert, White with black Stripes, with not even 23k miles on it. It looks to be a very good shape and worth the buy, but I don't know if it's work 12k or not...

 

For 23K miles and a vert, it might be worth it.

 

NOT worth that, no way no how is a 00 Vert worth 12k. i would say 9-10k, 11k at most

 

KBB said it's worth close to 13k and the actual value of the car is nearly 16k

 

Check www.nadaguides.com , and the Black Book. Because that is what the banks........and I believe insurance comapnies go by.

 

For 23K mileage......yea. Remember 12K is the starting price....he should offer 8 or 9.

I just bought my car 3 weeks ago. It's hard to find a dealer that sells a 98 for less than 8.5K. 2000s usually go for 9-13K, but for a vert and a 23K. That probably is around 11-13K.

You're saying the condition is great, so that's good. Get a Car Fax report, and that will help you gauge the pricing.

Is this a dealer, private seller, or original owner?

 

Original owner... also, he owns a Saleen... so he's a mustang lover.

 

The odds are looking good, by owning a Saleen and being the original owner of the vehicle he probably hasn't beat the car to death.


Always try to get the best deal you can though. I say anything under 10K is a steal.

What are you expecting to pay?

 

I just bought her at 11,300. Insurance only went up $40 every 6 months and my monthly note went down to $225 (from $239)

So I'm actually saving money by getting a car I love...

 

$11.3K isn't bad at all, especially for a good conditioned one.

The taxes sound killer though.....I gotta experience that tomorrow.

Best of luck!
