[Shotimes] 94 Moonlight Blue MTX FS

[Paul L Fisher]

I used '94 Ford, Taurus, SHO, put in 168000 miles, dark blue, sell, didn't
click on any options, since it is stripped and clicked on 'outstanding' even
though it barely fits the 'average' category. $964 trade-in, $1679 private,
$2894 dealer.

The poster himself said that KBB said $2400. I'm just wondering how he
justifies $800 over KBB and almost double Edmunds. I'm not trying to start a
fight, just want to know the logic behind it.
