My friend's father has a 2000 mustang gt with white oxford leather, and only 15000 kilometers, its never been driven in the rain, and is damn near perfect. He believes that its worth $28,000. I disagree.

I said it was probably closer to $16,000, and then looked it up on kbb to get $9,875.

Your thoughts?

And to top it off he made fun of my geo. Not cool.

I'd say about $10K - 11K

I watch the dealer auctions, where they go for about $7K

The car wasn't 28K new was it?

Since you list the mileage in kilometers, should we assume you are Canadian? If so, the "guess" of $10,000 or $11,000 needs to be adjusted for the local currency.

BTW, I have a 1992 Acura Integra with nearly 190,000 miles on it, I believe it's worth at least $2,000 as a trade on a newer car. Will I ever get that much? Not likely. Moral? What anyone thinks something is worth, and what it can be sold for are usually 2 different things.

It might be worth CAN$28,000 to him, but if he wants to ever sell it to anyone he should probably try for about half that, to start.

If he truly believes that it is worth $28K then I suggest that he contacts his insurance company to get a "stated value" policy. Otherwise, I think he will be sadly disappointed if his car is a total or near-total situation.

My brother in law just bought a 2002 GT convertible from Car Max for $12,000.

It had 50,000 real American miles on it.
