Considering Selling My Laguna

$51,000 firm.

Laguna Seca #466, just over 3000 miles. Installed are the Trackey ($310.00), iSimple Ipod Adapter and Sirius radio interface and upgraded Pioneer front speakers($400.), brake cooling ducts installed, exhaust restrictor plates removed (car sounds like a beast). I also have a Kenwood amp and wiring for the car (not installed $125.00), and MGW Shifter (not installed $375.00). GPS auto-theft tracking system also installed by the Ford Dealer ($600 value). All books and sticker.

I have taken the car to the track three times, it's a pretty incredible car. Tires still have plenty of tread, have two-three track days left on them if you're into that, if not, easily another 5k miles (depending on how you drive). It's in great shape, though there are a couple rock chips on the front. You won't find a better priced Laguna Seca anywhere! This price doesn't include the extra warranty I purchased through Ford covering up to 6 years 72k miles that is fully transferable, but if you want to keep the warranty add 2k to the price.

I am the original owner and purchased the car from Park Cities Ford in Dallas on October 5, 2011. I love the car, but trying to justify the expense for a weekend toy is difficult for me.

Oh, have the splitter (still in box) and stupid car cover too. (Included).

PM me.

REALLY nice car! If I wasn't selling my Boss already it would be nice to have that...

BTW Rocketman is selling his Silver LS with less than 3,000 miles for $43000 iirc or $53 with tons of mods including the carbon fiber Tiger racing hood

Wow, that's a great price, but seems waaaay low to me. I'm pretty confident I'll get 51k eventually or I will just keep it.

They are selling for MSRP NEW or lower now with the 2013's being announced. So less than sticker for a used one is a given...but who knows?? GL with the sale and welcome to TMS

If you expect to get that much, you will need to push this card hard now on autotrader/ebay etc. Not trying to be a jerk, just suggesting you will need to aggressive given your price. Good luck.

Gone. Traded in, dealer gave me 45.5, which is great cause saved me 2.8k in taxes. Not bad considering i paid msrp, put 3,000 hard miles on her and 3 track days. Picked up 2012 c63 amg edition one in magno black.

Well, really came down to getting one car as an all around car, the LS just doesn't work for that for me with kids and needing back seat, m3 is a great car, but not enough tq, thus far the c63 is great, the only regret is no manual but the new MCT transmission is quite nice.

I guess if you need room for kids then the C63 makes sense. I drove one in the spring time. Real nice car. Handles great and plenty of power.

People's situations change all the time, so I don't take this question offensively. I'm curious why did you buy the LS in the first place if you need to take kids around and use it as a only car?

That c63 amg is really nice, congratulations! From the looks of your pictures, someone will get a very nice Laguna Seca. Do you have a pic of the Merc?

the non LS has a rear seat for the kids and with winter tires you'd have been all good, but I guess the Merc appeal is understanding.

To bad that Mercedes will spend half it's life in the shop being fixed the laguna would be more reliable spending every mile on the track.

I had never intended on getting one, I had a 2011 Shelby that got lemmoned, unfortunately the way lemmoning works is quite convoluted, but I wound up with the Laguna for MSRP as a result w/o losing money on the Shelby. It's a long story, wound up with two cars, a CLK550 as a daily and the Laguna, didn't make financial sense to have them both and the clk was not a performance car, and the Laguna no backs seats etc...trying to find the best of both worlds...m3 not enough power for my taste, I don't care for the CTS-V, and the regular 302 just doesn't do it for me (I like creature comforts for long drives etc...). I figured, fuzzy car buying logic, that if I couldn't make it work long term I would be able to get out of the Laguna w/o losing and I did.

In a perfect world I would have both! For that matter, a stable of cars

I think the Laguna is a brilliant car, for that matter the Boss in general, nothing against Ford at all or the car just my situation (self employed) in this economy can be stressful and I don't need more stress...

Here ya go.

Oh, and with respect to spending more time in the shop...well, the Shelby was at the Ford dealer more than I drove it. I'll never have this car through the warranty anyway, I never do
