I have a '93 with approx 170k and the engine has about 70k. My car is overall in pretty good shape - but a couple little dents and dings, crappy headlamps, chrome stips in the bumbers are crappy, and the car it self obviosuly has high mileage.
I had the car for almost a year, I put at least 12k on it... I paid 2 grand cash.
Car is silver, has set of new tires (2 months old), cd player, tinted windows, just had a tune up, new air suspension motor.
SO... to bring it around to the reason I'm writing. Today I drove by a local used car lot... and I saw a black '93 with only 64k on it. The asking price is $3995. Car looks pretty nice, nicer than mine. Interior looks tops, paint seems very glossy (although the car is a little dirty), headlamp lenses are crystal clear, body is much better than my car too. It all looks real nice - of course... it only has 64,000 miles on it.
I remember seeing this car on the lot back in May / June so its been there for a while (this is the coal regions of north-eastern Pennsylvania... Lincolns don't sell).
How much you think I can get them to give me for my car? And what do you think would be fair for me to give them in cash?
In the mean while, I'm going to swing by there when they're open and maybe take it for a ride.
I'm seriously thinking that maybe I should save up a couple of bucks over the next few months and trade mine in for one with lower milage.
Maybe after winter? (My Mark is a daily driver)
