HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

[Peterfurlan]

Found another T Bird on E-Bay. How low can you go this one has 29 miles
and never titled. This one is Item No. 290572676662 and has a buy it now
price of $52,500.00. This one is a red 2002 anyone know of a 2002 with
lower mileage?

It is surprising to see how many wasted T-birds are out there.

This will give an interesting comparison on low mileage birds. Wonder how will the bidding hold up on the much more common Torch Red compared to the limited edition Neiman Marcus Edition?

here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQ...sQ26Q5ffviQ3d1

So it really is a red Tbird with 29 miles on it. It is well worth every penny of the $52,000 asking price. A true garage virgin that has never experienced running topless on the open road. On a scale of 1-10, how dry are all the seals and gaskets and hoses and tires and all other lubricated moving parts? It will eventually be a nice prop in a wax museum with a wax likeness of J. Mays propped up in the front seat.

Just remember the new owner will never have to replace the label that blurs under the hood gasket.

Limbo dancers go pretty darn low.

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

IMO who the heck would pay that much for a 9 year old car knowing all the rubber should be dry rotted by now unless it was in a climate controlled building.

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

I use my car every chance i get, rain snow, sun and just about to take it in for the 30K service.

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Hmm, maybe I can offer 1K and use it for parts

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Well, I do have a lead on a specially stored red Retro-bird, but I'm not sure the year, only know it's retro and I hope to take a look at it soon, for a possible second bird. That's all I'm saying right now.

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

I'm not in the market, but most all the old rubber can be changed without going bankrupt.

The result, a brand new TBird. Nice conversation piece at future carshows.

I'd make up a printed information document stating the mileage, frame it, and place it somewhere on the car or under the hood. (This is what I do with my Galaxie, except the document reads 213,000 miles.)

Depends what you want, and what you're willing to spend to get it.

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Whoever ordered it got the premimum package but left off the running lights. Either that or it was a factory alotment car or it was destined for Canada. The first mod this Bird needs is those running lights.

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

True it may be worth a little more than a driven with 50 K miles but no where near 50 grand. then again there may be another potential owner jist like the present owner.

Re: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

$50,000.00 is pretty steep, but I think we can assume that this car has been stored indoors. Most rubber parts are probably no worse off than on any car of comparable age and maybe better because of no exposure to a hostile environment. The ones that do need replacement will not be obscenely expensive. This is a second chance to buy a brand new Bird for about the same as they cost back then adjusted for inflation. Many of these unused Birds go for way less than $50K, some for less than $30K. It's hard for me to see why there is so much negativity about these cars that were put away new. There are several cars from the past I can think of which I'd love to find in an unused state and have another chance at buying them. The fact that the original purchaser didn't get the full enjoyment is their loss and our gain.
