Is This a Reasonable Price?

Maybe Mo is up for a trip to Mass?

The snow is very pretty this time of year, it would be a nice break from all that warm weather.

My options are limited to financing or finding one for under $6000. I plan to trade in my GMQ for this one if I can get the numbers where I like them.

Sell privately first, trade in against a purchase is a lose/lose situation, you will come out short every time.

I'm upside down, I lose either way. Atleast going this route I can get the car I want and get out from under the Marquis. I realize I'll be upside down on the Marauder but it is not going to go anywhere.

In my youth a wise man told me that when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing that you do is stop digging.
 
NADA has it priced at $9,325 clean retail. Carfax says it just had its upper&lower ball joints replaced, also it spent its whole life in Pa+NH. two states smack in the middle of rust belt. I would look under the car for rust, also I say something about the red calipers you might get a few hundred off for that.
 
I have a feeling they are not going to budge enough on the price for me to feel comfortable doing a deal. I'm hoping to get there Saturday afternoon to talk to the salesperson I've been exchanging emails with.
 
Way too much to spend on a stock car.

Spend half that on a 100K car, tune it, keep it clean and drive the crap out of it. If it breaks, fix it.

Don't send too many emails. That shows excitement.

I paid $14k for mine w/30k miles in 2010.

Be willing to walk away after setting your final offer. They want to sale that car when it's all said and done. Especially if it's been there for a while

I realize now that I hadn't listed it here on MMN. Ad posted in Classifieds now.

CrownVic97 was sent updated pictures today, too.
 
Went and saw the car today. Looked good, had some clear coat issues. No rust and runs good. Doesn't pull very hard but that's likely just the way stock Marauders are? It was my first time driving one so I can't say.

Although they liked my GMQ they could not offer me any more than $5k on trade which just won't work.

So, for now at least, I am out.
