HI! New guy: Are all 2003 LS8's "sports"?

[jjcool00]

Well it looks like a done deal, I have to drive from TN to Cleveland, Ohio to get the car Saturday. It's a long way to have to go for a car.

I had a really hard time finding an red or black (with black int) LS8 with low miles. We have agreed on a $11,283 price. Pretty good I guess considering the low mileage.

I hope the car lives up to it's online pictures.

You guys have been a big help, and I'll be glad to be back into a Ford product.. honestly.

Stupid question, but did the person have a carfax? Or did you carfax the vin?

 

[jjcool00]

that's the first I've ever heard that, and it's not on mine.... I got mine from the dealer last time I was there.

Hmm mines there just assumed that was common... maybe not lol.

$11k for a 2003. From a private seller? Am I missing something.

I carfaxed it.

I had a Mustang Cobra that I wadded up years ago, and a Z06 that I wadded up a few years ago. When I sold both of those cars I ran a carfax to see if the accidents were on there. Both carfaxes came back clean as a whistle.

Carfax is worthless.

That being said, I still just paid $39.99 to check out this car.. just to be on the safe side I guess.

But I still say carfax is worthless.

37,000 miles.
.. from a dealer (unfortunately)

You're not the only one. Seem pretty high for that year and such few options.

You're not the only one. Seem pretty high for that year and such few options.

I attributed it to the super low mileage. The car has still-stickered Michelins all around, and looks super clean inside and out.

I am okay with paying a touch extra for the low miles.

Crap now you guys have me second-guessing. What would be a more realistic price?

Kelly blue book stated $10,300 retail if in excellent condition.

 

[joegr]

$8500 would seem fair to me, as long as it is perfect and has already had the coils and cooling system parts replaced.

I would be comfortable in the 9's. Kbb is usually pretty high.

Sorry Joe, didn't see you. Just go with whatever ^ this guy says.

This is my opinion..... but if I'm going to spend 11 grand, I'd be looking at an '06 if I had my mind made up on an LS

I heard on the news www.autocheck.com is the more accurate service.
