Hey everyone. I joined in attempts to help my mother obtain more information about parting with her 2005 GT. Its a convertible, red, with 13k original miles. It's bone stock and has never been modified, driven in the rain, or damaged. It was a dream for her and my dad to have the car & drive the grandkids to get ice cream with the top down in the summer. While he was able to enjoy the car briefly, my dad passed a few years ago and it just isn't the same for my mum. She's decided to sell it, but she's hoping to get some ideas for fair market value for the car as it a bit of a rare bird with the low miles and it's unmodified condition.

If anyone has any good resources or insight to share, we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

 

Welcome aboard! As for your question, I would suggest starting with Kelly Blue Book and start from there... You could also look into classic car insurance companies like Hagerty and Grundy and perhaps they could either provide a quote or provide you with some resources... In the meantime, I'm very sorry for your loss.... Source links are provided below, if interested...

Welcome,


Sorry For The Circumstances Surrounding Your Situation. When it Comes To That Type of Car it's All About Finding The Right Buyer. Lots of Pics and at Least a General Idea of The Area it is In Would Be Helpful in Providing Some Feedback. Paperwork is great if Your Dad Kept The Window Sticker and any Service Records. A Trip To Kelly Blue Book Should Give Some Good Information But Book Values Can Be Way Off and Condition of Car is a Bonus To Certain Buyers Wanting That Like New Vintage at This Point Car. Low Miles are Great But Car Needs To Have Been Driven Regularly to Keep The Juices Flowing.

The Best Way To Set values is To Try & Find Out What Others Have Actually Paid For Cars Which are Close in Condition & Mileage.

Post Some Pics and Info and We Will See What we Can Do!

Also I Must Caution You If Trying To Sell Yourself To Not Allow Yourself To Be Put in a Situation Where You Could Be Carjacked or Otherwise Scammed! Be Cautious With All Aspects or a Private Party Sale!
