You won't like this,but that sounds about right to me.

Guy over on FB looking for an auto fastback, presumably GT. Umer Saleem. I say now i know nothing about him.

Had mine up for sale before the Summer.

Started at 33 and dropped to 31. No interest apart from one private buyer desperate for my CO GT but was waiting on sale of property. It fell thru.

Eventually a trader offered 29 and I set about giving it a wash as per traders instructions.

That wash made me realise that despite needing the money I couldn't sell it so cancelled.

I'm amazed you guys think you can get 33 now your cars are nearly 2 years old.

I really need cash now and would take a lot less if it was off my hands quickly.

Has to be quick or I'll change my mind again and besides I've seen a nice 1995 Crown Vic that I would like.

I will see what I'm offered for my car on Tuesday when I go and test an Alfa Quadrofolio, only going to look

As usual accept an offer and they disappear. It’s been weird. Had 3 enquiries today. Most I have had in ages

I want over 35k for mine with the mods otherwise I'm going to remove:
- KW's
- FRPP anti roll bars
- Steeda rear mounts, Steeda chassis brace
- Corsa extreme system
- Wheels
- BMR vertical links and cradle lock out
- Shelby wheel and titanium knob
- sequential front and rear indicators
- plus lots of shit I forget about lol


I will then refit stock wheels, stock dampers, fit the Ford Eibach lowering springs and eibach spacers. In short it becomes an a looker but not a performer as it will still have the Steeda splitter, Shelby 350 wing and RTR skirts so looks wise only difference from now back to stock wheels and be quiet again and at this point let it go for the best offer over 30k

MY 2018 coming / Mustang novelty value disappearing as with most new models/no shortage of new cars at dealers/plenty of folk jumping ship just on this forum/ some no doubt who originally said "the car is a keeper"(incl me)/ market forces now in operation sadly:amen:

If I was buying a second hand car Id definitely avoid those with mods , ignoring that it may have affected the warranty, it gives the impression it was driven hard by a boy racer.

I'm certainly not paying someone to take all my suspension parts off when I've paid to have them put on.The car is all the better for it.The mustang could have been driven hard anyway but a modded car does give that impression.

Folks these are the guys who bought mine straight up came viewed car and paid on the spot no issues at all they are looking more of the same. My car went to Malaysia I think .

You sir got an uncommonly good price for yours,possibly due to being in Ireland and maybe they had a customer waiting for one there.I have dealt with these people before and they often have a waiting customer,they were genuine but were not at all generous with me unfortunately:doh:.If the market says £31-32k then they would be suicidal to offer more ,n'est-ce pas?

No issues with them at all in fact they were the only ones showing interest.They already knew where the car was going.They met me in the middle though with some effort....,but again your deal sounds uncommonly exceptional,well done.They come onto the 'for sale 'page occasionally lookng for stock,guy has an asian name whch I have forgotten.

I'm wondering why folks are moving on so quickly, is there underlying issue with the Mustang? After a text drive I so want one, but, with a possible house move within the next year. Swapping cars will need to wait and I would say it will be a "keeper" I'm on the wrong side of 60 and her in doors is getting a bit cheesed off with me changing cars every few years.
I will get there it's just a matter of time.
