I've been looking for a Mark 8 for about 2 months now. Today saw one on craigs list. $3777 + $199 dealers fee. Nice car, in great shape except no heater (blend door problem), abs and traction control issues. a 98 with 84k miles. "Pearl?" finish LSC. Great shape! Thought it was just too high a price.
Went looked at a 97 listed at $3999. Guy had to jump start it. One headlight bulb was barely lit, tail light was filled with water, interior showed it's 114k miles. Put the shifter in reverse and then to drive. Clunk. Clunk. No thanks. Went home.
Called the lot with the first car, but didn't talk to the salesman from this morning. I told him I had $3500 cash, including the dealer's fee. He said "no, the price is firm". I said okay, and resolved to get back in the search. Less than 5 minutes later, the salesman I talked to this a.m. called me back and told me they'd gladly take my money.
I'm excited about the car. Interior is spotless. Some wrinkles in the leather on the driver seat, but no real wear marks. Need to get the front tires balanced/replaced tomorrow, but it rides/drives great. Air ride works perfect. Exterior looks almost new! This car was definitely taken care of. I'm sure there's some issues that I'll be coming to this forum for help. From what I've read today there is nothing that the members of this forum cannot help fix! Looking forward to driving and maintaining this really cool car.
