Hi! A lot in my town just got in a used 2005 Sonic Blue Mustang base package with 9k miles. The sticker is 22k and that seemed a little high to me. Kelley doesn't have valuations for 2005's up yet. Would any of you know how I could find out what a reasonable cost for this car would be. Thank you!

kelly is showing a new v6 deluxe not premium options at $19473 // and v8
26,593 deluxe/ 9000 miles seems a liitle high for this early in year/ judge accordinglyOn Fri, 04 Mar 2005 18:21:11 GMT, "Christie Jones" wrote something wonderfully witty:
Hell you should have been with me when I looked at a "used" Sonic Blue GT with 1000 miles under it's belt. When I asked the sales monkey how much the wanted for it he told me $33K. At that moment in time I swore I would never set foot on that lot again even if they were giving cars away.
Take the MSRP and multiply it by 0.6.
You seriously expect someone to sell a $22,000 car (probably also the new MSRP) with 9k for $13,200? Cars depreciate, but not *that* fast.

Try trading one in and see what you get offered.
That wasn't the scenario. "A lot in my town..."

My first thought was:
Why did the owner get rid of it so soon? You may want to really think it over, it may be a lemon.

It might have to do with the sudden jump in gas. A job change that requires driving a lot... Take the VIN and call a DIFFERENT dealer and get the service list. I'm kind of looking for an 03-34 Cobra now and you figure it would be the same reasons behind trading one of those.
S**t happens to people. Got my Cobra from a guy who was getting divorced. He bought it Oct 2002 and I got it from him in Jan 2003 for the balance of the loan ($27K). It had 3,000 miles on it. Kinda felt bad taking advantage of his situation, but that takes me back to my first sentence!
My friend lost his '86 SVO to a vindictive ex who used to go out of her way to drive it past the gas station we worked at, and zing the turbo mockingly. What a bitch.
I swear to God - I'd burn mine to the ground before I'd let something like that happen.

I feel bad for you too. You probably could have gotten it for half that from his ex-wife....
LMAO... I'll remember that for next time!
