What's so special about this MARK VIII? (Craigslist)

[UltimateSVT]

Here's yet another SUPER overpriced mark VIII. Yes, I admit, it's in nice condition, has low miles & it's very clean but $6,500.00? I can buy a Gen 2 in very nice conditions for that amount!

well there's a few things special.....the spray can job blacked out grille, the wheels on the wrong side and the half missing engine cover....or maybe the dull headlights.....lol

 

[robmerrill]

Maybe its the lack of a sunroof or the amount of time it took to take those pictures.

 

[UltimateSVT]

Listen, I LOVE my Mark, but I know when it's out of its league! Have you noticed the surrounding vehicles? I think this Mark made it's way into this dealership as a trade-in & they figure some idiot who doesn't know much about these cars will give up the cash!

The Bentley and BMWs its parked next to make it worth more.

 

[richduty455]

well when everything else is 100k a $6,000 car seems dirt cheap

You forgot the lasagna rear window seal. That adds AT LEAST $500 to the value.....

And the fading paint on the hood.

I just called and offered $500.00 and got hung up on!!!

Not a bad looking car, shame it ended up in the hands of a completely clueless, rip-off dealer.

AWESOME!!!!

 

[LaserSVT]

:lol: Nice one Geno! I just called, the guys name is Dave and he has one hell of an accent (sounds fake). I offered him $500 and tuna fish sammich and he yelled some very unpleasent things and hung up.

And the fading paint on the hood.

Your right. I thought that was a reflection, until I looked again just now and see the same from another angle.

 

[UltimateSVT]

OMG, wait... you're wrong! It's missing both! LMAO!!! It's like a human shaving his eyebrows! LMAO! Sorry, I have a weird imagination.

Hey, who wants to come with me to get their Mark VIII's appraised there? If I get $4,000 or so, I'll let mine go to buy a newer one!

 

[Kevin]

What's the respray hiding - the front license plate holder doesn't come painted does it?

Crazy asking price. Worth $3000 tops.

 

[Chadly]

Mine came painted

 

[UltimateSVT]

Mine came painted as well.

 

[UltimateSVT]

U know what ticks me off, they may just get lucky enough that some rich mo-fo will walk in there, fall in love with the well cared for Mark & buy it for that crazy amount.

 

[mespock]

its missing a sunvisor too........

Sun Visors were not listed in the list of options ... dah they are available extra for another $4,000

 

[kustomizingkid]

I'd buy it for $500...

 

[richduty455]

mark viii's came with a body painted license plate bracket......but that one looks re-painted....maybe i'll ask him if he wants to give me 8000 for mine.....comes with both sunvisors

 

[SCIONE]

I think it all has to do with the checkered floor.

 

[LaserSVT]

Maybe it includes the Scion parked next to it.
