Thanks for checking. It's black, (i can't believe i forget to give you the color!). I did go to auctions but it's been about 6 months or so and i'm rusty. The miles are original. It was an off-lease return from newburgh auto auction in NY. I've had it 1 1/2 years and put maybe 7k miles on it. It does need tires. I have a deal of 10k even on it now. (DP on raw land) Anyway, you firmed up what i thought. I'm selling it too cheap. Thanks Bill.

#37 of 38945 Thanks Bill by diamonddave2 Jul 14, 2000 (2:53 pm)
I figure it needed about $2500 worth of work, so I got a good deal. Their initial offer was $1200!
#38 of 38945 Newburgh by blackcurrant Jul 14, 2000 (3:23 pm)
Yeah, it's a pretty large auction, bigger than the one here in albuquerque, nm. Manheim is buying this one also, BTW. It appears they're taking over Their ford sale was pretty good for an open sale. What do you think of the auction certified cars? I think for the guys with only a few hundred in them it's a service we don't need to pay for. There selling more of them that way, aren't they? The Z was a ford! credit car! I marvel at how those dealers were spooked by that car. I got it about 1000 less than i thought. It only cost me 900 to R&R the bumper cover and refinish the hood. There was no frame damage and it ran out like a 20,000 mile car. Oh well, that's why they call it an auction! How long will the market be good for it in your neck of the woods?

Wow! Did you ever open a can of worms... It's always frustrating when the trade in becomes the problem. Even more so when the customer is coy and conceals the fact they have a trade in. Any professional can usually detect this and will do their best to shake the trade out of the bushes before wasting their time. Some of the "expert" internet sites even suggest this. And, when the buyer is unrealistic, we will do our very best to "kick" the trade...we simply don't want it! That Kia that the "book" says is worth 4000.00 is an unwanted car...by everyone! After making several phone calls, the highest bid we can get is 1800.00. " Please...sell it yourself!"

If I recall.. it's been a Manheim sale for some time now.. Certainly was in 97-99. I only really went there for the Ford closed sales.. I could always do a lot better at Skyline in NJ on the Ford Credit sales.. Some stuff there would go for just stupid money! Apparently, the Jaguar sale is going to shoe wup there pretty soon.. WHich is smart as I'd rather (Well, if I still worked/lived in North NJ) go 45 mins to Newburgh than all the way to Manheim! Bill
