Hey, the car is in great shape after 28 years and, with inflation rates and all that, the original price is actually more like a sixth of what you would pay today. ( I deal in economics, what can I say...)
I'm always surprised when people try to use a value book value or talk about age to decrease a price on a well-preserved commodity. I wouldn't nlink twice at paying 5,000 for Mustang fastback in good condition. It's blue value is a lot less.
(Although if I had 5,000 around I'd just keep my Maverick!)
I'm pretty firm on the upper to mid $2,000 ranges. It's a good car and needs an owner who will appreciate a classic beast.
