[Shotimes] 94 Moonlight Blue MTX FS

[Ron Porter]

Paul, you can't apply pricing guidelines, which are pretty much only valid
for cars 5 years-old or less, anyway. For 8-year-old cars, they only serve
as an insurance value guide if the car gets wrecked.

On a 2-year-old car, yes, there is a HUGE difference in value of under 100K
and 168K cars.

For an 8-year-old car, there can be virtually NO difference....unless
EVERYTHING else is equal. I'll take a car with a great interior/exterior,
good service records, and 200k miles over a 100K car with a beat-up
interior/exterior, and I'll pay MORE for the 200K car.

Once a car is over 5-years-old, the pricing is based on condition and what
the market will bear. And as a few people stated, MTX SHOs will pull more
money than an ATX.

There is a HUGE difference in value between a sub 100K car and 168K, though.
Just think about it though. If no one takes you up on $3200, wouldn't you
rather get $2200 than $1500?
