What is a Fair Price ???

[Whoosha]

Hey all just after a few opinions dont really care too much as its not my purchase . but as I was asked to test drive and offer some words of wisdom I thought I would run it passed the multitudes :.... what we have is a FLT (Fairlane by Tickford) build #23 of 106 has all the Tickford options same as the EL GTs gtp heads H/P coated headers roller rockers ext.premo brakes .leather trim, 6 stacker. Tickford mats 130Ks on it full service histoty with books, has only had 2 owners with 1 being the dealers employee, looks & drives like a new car .. motor is as sweet as pulls like a train allthough the sales man suffered rectal pucker when it snapped side ways in the wet with 4 of us in there .. Twice (mental picky drivers seat me, passenger seat sales dude, back seat Kev (blownxr8ute) & mark(pinkbits) the look on the sales dudes face was priceless)
here"s a picky or 2 just had the phone camera only ok quality.. so what do you think a fair price would be from a dealer has reg till 12th month, 4 new tyers .2 year complete warranty cheers whoosha ..



and the personalised plates come with it '''

we ante talking about a fairmont ghia hear its a FBT.

id say 10-15Max is the going rate for one these days.

[gthofan]

the dealer wants $14,000. Id say thats a fair price for that condition. mmm wood grain steering wheel :

[-jjM-]

10 - 15 if anything a little more, nothing to do with asking to much, its an FBT, not exacly many floating around and one hell of a car...

LOL whoosha, did you scare John?

They have some very nice cars there, have been and test drove 2 S3 XR8's there, both were like new, pity we couldnt do business.

I sold my '95 NF Ghia 16 months ago, not a Tickford but with 275 x 18's rear, 235 x 18's front, Koni's all around, stainless system, mint condition sunroof, DBA Rotors, 240k's, just a beautiful car and I got 8k for it. I know that I sold it cheap but I wanted to get into the GT quickly. The Fairlane owed me just on 70k from new (no ) and it was all that you could ask in a NF but not Tickford, as I said.

The thing that you are looking at should be worth at least 10-12 in my opinion.

Yeah I think it was John he did look happy when I handed it back to him and the pink bloke took over :
they have 14k in the window but with a bit of room to move. must admit was nearly as clean as my XR

Lol maybe I had the band too close in my ear last night Whoosh because I thought Mark said it was Cardinal Red? Or was that a different car he was talking about? I thought he was talking about this one

[Allen]

Damn that thing is nice... I want one...

14k seems to be ball park for these, which is damn cheap considering what they are and their rarity...
Looks like it could use a good detail though, under the bonnet is pretty clean though.

yeah its as clean as just the 80k test drive in the rain got it a bit dirty .. it comes with a detail and polish

[cupic]

Whatever the price offer him 20% less

so on 14ooo

offer approx 115oo

and so starts the bargining price

cheers

[Elks]

If you really want it make him a fair offer. You can spend 10K on an engine rebuild these days..

The thing is it will hold its value and at some time in the future increase. Where else will you find a low K straight FBT?

Sadly that gives the car yard some advantage lucky for you he probably doesn,t realise what he has..

[Silentsfastcar]

id say 10 - 12k with kilom's but its looks nice. depends on how much you mates wants it!! anything under 15k is good if ya want it bad enough

[Daniel]

i know the past owner of this car, been in it and it is a great car.

my fbt was red, loved it, cant express how good they drive for an old e series boat haha..

Id say 12/13

[PepeLePew]

What a bargain, IMHO now the Fairlane is dead these things will hit their stride one day and we'd all be sitting here saying 'wish Id bought that when it was 14K!'

[bomber]

This is Burchiemans old car use to be a member from fordmods, The car had been stolen but recovered about 3 years ago from memory seen befores and after was repaired nicely low ks for one of these too.

[Pinkbits]

Soooo, would 13.5k drive away with 4 minor items to be rectified as part of the deal be a good buy?
