Selling for 35k....to many miles?

Kelly Blue Book has a good condition 2008 F with 60000 K miles, Mark Lev, and Nav valued at 36600 trade in. So this sounds like a pretty good deal as long as it is in good condition. 60000 K miles all depends on how/where the miles were made. I have 36000 on mine and have barely had it over a year. But they're all highway miles. The car is barely broken in

I don't think it is too many miles depending on the condition of the rest of the car. These motors will easily go deep into the 100K's miles zone.

The price however seems high for 60k.

Considering you are out of powertrain warranty, I would expect a little less on the price.

Powertrain warrany is to 70k miles. I believe you're mistaken.

I have seen some for 38-39k with half the miles. I would spring the extra 3-4 grand and snag one of those IMHO.

No, but too much money for that mileage. I'd expect to pay about $33k for that car.

I'm driving this ISF in to the ground. LOL my company pays me $600 a month car allowance so thanks AT&T for my ISF. LOL

Granted I'll probably put 15k to 20k miles on it per year but who cares. It's a free car (sort of).

The reality of sales is pretty simple - the car is worth what someone will actually sign a check to buy. Not a penny more or a penny less. Single points of reference can be very skewed based on the ability of the seller to convey value to the buyer. I work in sales. I know everyone has a different idea of what is "fair" pricing, and I know some people are far more talented at creating a sense of value when in fact, there's no difference between two items being sold except the perception of value in the buyer's mind.

So, I wouldn't pay more than $33k for a pristine IS-F with 60k miles. Somebody might very well pay $35k for one under the right circumstances.

Indeed! Remember they need you to buy the car more than you need to buy it. If they won't come to what you are comfortable with walk away and find someone who will.

But what if I throw in a year of free car washes at the dealership.... would you budge from that $33k number....

I would like to work just one week in a car dealership selling cars. Kind of like Larry David did on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

(side note from the side note) I'm still so amazed how much car sales people DON'T know about cars. The GTR sales person I talked to the other day had no clue what the HP or drivetrain was on it. Wow.

Everything is for sale, they just need to want it more than you do thus the price!

crazymikie

Oh right- I was thinking 5/60 not 6/70.

In any case, I still think it's high for a car with that many miles.

Fapout

Yeah. It's 4/50 and 6/70. Whatever. I bought an aftermarket warranty because you NEVER know. I'm a firm believer in insurance. Most insurance costs over the life of it, less than what one claim would. So in this case, I bought the warranty for $800. 100 miles before 100K i'm going to throw this car in reverse at about 60mph and grenade the tranny so I get a new one. LOL

Either that or once I have my 5 year no accident history with all state, I'll use their accident forgiveness and drift my ISF passenger side first in to a concrete wall and total it. Collect my gap insurance and money for the car. Go buy GTR and repeat. j/k (sort of)
