I am trying to see if its worth selling or not. I love this car, but am getting married.

Its in pretty good shape, no body damage or rust. It came from Florida, and has not seen a winter in ND. Paint has a little oxidization that will buff out (i tried a little bit and the paint is great underneath, but decided not to buff it out until spring time, as it is parked and garaged all winter. The only major thing is that it is not venting, but all the bags are good.

Let me know what you think I could get for it, and if anyone here is interested, let me know.

here are some pics.

No, not like that. Its partly about monies... and partly because lately I have been pondering ideas of a Mark VII with a BBF... So, extra money for the wedding will be nice, and then I could start on another car after that.
 
hello what is a bump? or a bumbside? and what year is this, miles ,lsc? condition running? what would you like out of it. these things would help please
 
good lookin job on that roof saturn. I have a 79 f100 w/ a 460. Fleetside short bed though. Still my favorite out of all the trucks i've had. I looked at puttin a set of t-tops in mine but decided against it.
 
110000 miles if I remember correctly, runs like a champ. Has been tuned with an Xcal2. You can look through my previous posts there were a few issues I had with it, mainly bad coils and it pulled to the right which ended up being ball joints. both issues have been taken care of.

The interior is not perfect. Its black on black, the leather is a little worn, but then again it is 12 years old. It does not look bad at all, though.

Here is the only interior pic I had online, and I am out of town now. so this will have to do.

no kids to sell, and I guess i phrased that weird. She is not asking me to sell the car, not at all. I am just thinking that when/if I sell it, I will have some extra pocket money and then can get a Mark VII to wrench on.
 
Shouldn't her family be paying for the wedding anyway? I thought that's how it worked but I do live in Alabama too lol.

As for the car, so far with the pics shown and information, I would go $3500 but it could be worth 6K in your area.
 
Thanks for the ideas. I will put it up for sale locally, and see if there are any takers. I may be able to get more for it here than elsewhere as it has no rust at all, which is something special up here...
 
Josh,
It was nice to meet you and buy your car.
Good luck with your plans, and thanks again for serving our country.

Brandon, thanks for taking the time to drive up to Fargo, look at the car, then drive my 93 home.
Dude your the best.
 
I hope that she is good to you, and I am glad you got what you wanted!

It was nice to meet you and Brandon, too!
 
Not to be a damnper on the party, but this guy is selling the car for his own reasons, so lets get back on topic.

One thing that I want to tell you is I had a 97 Black/Black that I bought that had very minimal fading. I fell out of love with the car before I even owned it for a year and dumped a lot of money into it, and in that time, the paint on the roof, trunk and hood had almost completely oxidized. If the paint is starting to go, and you are set on selling it, I would get rid of it as fast as possible. If the paint gets much worse it will KILL the value of the car, which it did in my case. The black paint on the lincolns is a known issue with the clearcoat coming off. Just my 2 cents. I don't know what your car is worth, but I figured you might want to know bout the paint thing.

Good Luck!
