Why not just sell to a dealer then? Surely money in hand now is more valuable than waiting until spring? Selling cars of this caliber is a serious PITA.

Just my opinion, your mileage may vary :)

I have already offered you more than you originally said you would consider selling to me for the first time you and I talked on the phone. Nothing against them, but don't let the guys telling you "Your price is cheap" or "Its a very fair / cheap price" go to your head. At the end of the day, they are not writing checks today and when they were on the SEARCH for their GT, they would have thought your price was too high. You already went up on your price once. I offered VERY close to your price. If you were ready to move it, we wouldn't be having this conversation :biggrin

This post is not intended to ruffle anyones feathers, just telling it like I see it. Being in the car business as my every day job, you gotta weed out a ton of tire kickers for each "REAL" buyer you find. It can truly be a PITA.

Sold Two bidders $$193K. Not bad for a private sale. I knew first guys that actually came to see GT would know what I had. Love and will miss my GT. Coolest car I will probably ever own. Will stay in touch and send pic of our house on water during process and completion.

Thanks to all that responded to my post and hope one day I can say I got another GT.

Sincerely , Bill

That was an interesting thread and represents a documented private sale pricing for a 12K GT as opposed to the auction circus. Seems fair for everyone at this point in time.
Thanks for sharing

Congrats!!! Glad you got her moved, but I'm really curious how you ended up selling for $193k when your price was $190k obo?

Two buyers: one willing to pay $190 but had to wait a month funding other called me and was willing to pay more if I would sell now with a deposite and two weeks to get funding. Check received.

I can't believe how much these cars have appreciated in the short time since I have purchased mine -

Congratulations on the sale!

Yes, Congrats as well.

A close Friend just sold his '05 (400Mile - WT/Blue stp -4 option) for $247K this week. He loved the GT and enjoyed "Looking at it" His reasoning was the car was becoming "risky" to drive due to the possibility of a "Texter" hitting it and losing $100K in value.
Beginning to wonder if my time may be near...........?
Geeeeeeeze !

I am the lucky person who has accepted stewardship of Bill's car. He and his wife were a dream to deal with and the deal was quite easy to complete.

Got the car registered on Friday, and got out for a few hours Saturday. I had driven GT's before, and this car more than exceeds every expectation I had.

Love it. Thanks Bill. And thanks to the forum.
