I found a 1999 Grand Marquis LS

[Grand Marquis GT]

Don't offer more than 6.

[Sphinx]

well is it really worth it with 115k on it? let me know if im making a good choice

[Grand Marquis GT]

I dont see anything wrong if the car is clean...

[merc6]

all I saw was missing floormats! it's clean as hell and can't tell paint. If this is an actual person as him if he has reciepts or some maitnence log. tranny and oil changes mainly and maybe the coolant as well. also carfax it if someone here doesn't have an active account. carfax is your friend sometimes. It only took a carfax to figure out one car was a rental car. Carfax also told me where the other 2 owners had the car before me.

[Sphinx]

hmmm.. well i have floormats... but i think he took them out to clean it.... i dont have the vin #

[merc6]

send him a email/pm for it. maybe he did the carfax already and stil has the link handy. Thats what I did for my car the 1st time.

[merc6]

only thing I did notice about carfax is engine swaps weren't listed. when I had the engine swap they kept the original milage for the old engine. Carfax never said anything about it.

[Sphinx]

k i understand..... so its bad for seller.. good for buyer... ?

[merc6]

yes and no. yes cause the engine is new from dealer or no the engine is a random engine from somewhere. Mine was new cause the old one was recalled.

[Sphinx]

I got the vin # if anyone can carfax it for me let me know please.. thankyou

I re-ran the KBB value with the listed zip code

Condition Value
Excellent $5,475



Good $4,945
(Selected)


Fair $4,295


He is still 1,000 too high $6500 is a RETAIL value

It's a nice car but don't pay too much for a 7 year old car. 114,000 miles wipes out the resale value for nearly all the options Print out the KBB value for him and make the offer in person. The definition for Execllent condition states that only 5% of the cars sold qualify completely

[Sphinx]

So just offer him 5,500

[BigJon]

offer $5500 like the others have said. no more than $6k. that would be a good deal. hpp's are hard to find!

[Sphinx]

My mom wont go look at it.. the guy said he wasent going lower than 6 so i said fuck it...

[merc6]

keep lookin man
