Hi! A lot in my town just got in a used 2005 Sonic Blue Mustang base package
with 9k miles. The sticker is 22k and that seemed a little high to me.
Kelley doesn't have valuations for 2005's up yet. Would any of you know how
I could find out what a reasonable cost for this car would be. Thank you!

Hell you should have been with me when I looked at a "used" Sonic Blue
GT with 1000 miles under it's belt. When I asked the sales monkey how
much the wanted for it he told me $33K. At that moment in time I
swore I would never set foot on that lot again even if they were
giving cars away.

Take the MSRP and multiply it by 0.6.

You seriously expect someone to sell a $22,000 car (probably also the new
MSRP) with 9k for $13,200? Cars depreciate, but not *that* fast.

Try trading one in and see what you get offered.

That wasn't the scenario. "A lot in my town..."

My first thought was:

Why did the owner get rid of it so soon?
You may want to really think it over, it may be a lemon.

It might have to do with the sudden jump in gas. A job change that
requires driving a lot... Take the VIN and call a DIFFERENT dealer
and get the service list. I'm kind of looking for an 03-34 Cobra now
and you figure it would be the same reasons behind trading one of those.

S**t happens to people. Got my Cobra from a guy who was getting
divorced. He bought it Oct 2002 and I got it from him in Jan 2003 for
the balance of the loan ($27K). It had 3,000 miles on it. Kinda felt bad
taking advantage of his situation, but that takes me back to my first
sentence!
