How well will Mach 1's hold their value?

Branded title? Why, what happened?

Not sure, it popped up on my save search for Autotrader, when I got home from my business trip, I pulled the listing and car fax and saw that it was lemon buy back from California. Crazy for the low mileage. Used 2023 Ford Mustang For Sale at White Bear Lincoln, Inc. | VIN: 1FA6P8R08P5502751

Not sure

"[1] Transmission whining [2] mold in engine compartment."

In an entry below that, there's another comment, "Engine cleaned.", followed by, "Transmission Checked."

It was later auctioned to the MN dealer.

that's gotta be some serious mold. Probably got into the air ducts and so the smell won't go away without ripping out the firewall and the ducts.

Me, I'd probably try to score the car for 45-47k and buy a 8yr extended from the guys in Iowa

Good catch, stopped looking hard once I realized it was branded.

Maybe, but in the long run I’d rather have the non branded title.

I was looking a 2023 FJG 6 speed in MN to trade my 23 10AT in on, the 6MT has 877 miles on it and is listed at 52300, my 2023 has 16,000 miles on it, and the dealer offered 47,000. I guess that's not too bad considering I paid 49k one year ago and 10,000mi less. As a note, I won't be trading for the MN 6MT as it has a branded title at 877mi.

You said you wont be trading anything in, but I live down the street from that dealership. If you decide you want more pics or anything, I can probably grab some this weekend...or maybe try to check it out more for you.

maybe go for a sniff test, and drive to see if the trans really is acting up? Maybe the noise isn't the trans but rather the drive-shaft support bearing or diffential growl.

We should all list our Mach 1s for sale at 85k+ to move the value up. There is not many left.

KBB et. al. only look at transaction price. Not fantasy "asking" prices.

I'm not going to let KBB decided the value of my property. If mines the only one left its 85k+, you guys can keep selling for 40k.

easy now. The point was to sell. You can put the reserve wherever you want, but if your pool of buyers at the ask is zero, there will be no sale.

And for 85k I'll take this over the Mach1 for mere 70k chump change.

Clearly asking MSRP for a 7yr old car isn't working out considering it's been rotting on the lot for 6 months.

Office parties much?

I think rare spec'd models will hold their value as long as mileage stays low. Maybe even increase in the years to come. It's too much car to start coming down to GT prices.

That is wild pricing. I bought my '22 with 1500 miles for $47500. Dealer leftover. In my area there are a ton of Mach 1s for $47-52k all clean, low miles.

Branded title? I wouldn't spend more than $40k.

 

[MACHtobers Very Own]

22 mach 1 w HP, leather recaros and rear seat delete. (only option not checked was navigation/upgraded stereo) for 65k out the door

some quick reseatch feels like in order to get that i would need to spend 55k so 10k in deprecation over 3 years isnt tooooo bad.
