Yep, it seems that the dealer is asking $2K too much. A sales price of
around $5k seems reasonable.

I'm sure the cams aren't welded, and there are probably no service records,
so you have to assume the it's still the original tranny fluid. And unless
it's in very nice shape with good tires, brakes, appearance items, etc, $5K
may even be too much.

Mileage doesn't always matter. My current '94 SHO has twice the miles of my
former '95, but it's also in twice as good a condition.

GEE. My 99 with 35K miles has a "Black Book" value of $8,900.  At least that
what the guy told me when I tried to refinance my loan for a better rate.
Guess I'll just take out a 2nd mortgage.  At least it will be deductible.

I found a 96 SHO for sale in i beleive rose mist or the "charcoal" color.

It looks great and it only has 56k on it.....the dealer wants 7600 for it...

Does this sound good to anyone? It has a woodgrain interior.
