This car isn’t worth arguing over so I’ll let your post be the last word.

The average of the cars you selected is $15, 232. But, sure, cherry pick the cheapest one for the sake of argument.

I checked Hemmings and Cars Dot Com. Similar Mustangs were listed much higher than this one.

(it’s teetering on Meh territory, if you ask me)

A quick check of some listings (and there are more of these out there than you’d think) shows the asking price is at the lower end of the market. Yeah, I was surprised too. I’ve owned a couple of Mustangs and have attended a lot of Mustang events. Mustangs from this era are still popular among Mustang fans.

This. Dying is the worst outcome of getting COVID but it isn’t the only bad one. 

Easily one of the most attractive coupés of the era. I suppose Japanese cars from this era were still prone to rusting pretty badly, especially in my part of the midwest. I know my ‘76 Toyota Corona was.

1. I’m not particularly motivated to. Mine is a Launch Edition and as such is a Soul Red Metallic GT with tan leather interior. Nice combination, great looking car.

Had my doubts that you could get a loaded Mazda6 for under $30k but checked some of the listings and sure enough, you can. And a 2019 at that.

And Ford will do everything it can to make sure the F-series remains the best selling vehicle of all time, the Mustang continues to outsell the Challenger and Camaro, etc. There are still some good old fashioned competitive pressures in the market place.

Two years ago CarMax offered me $16,500 for my 2016 Miata. (I didn’t pull the trigger.) Running the same car through their on-line offer generator now I would get $20,500. (Not gonna sell this time either.) Whether they’re selling the same now or more they’re paying more for the inventory.

I wouldn’t just chalk it up to greed. A dealer has fixed costs—utilities, insurance, payroll, loans on property and inventory, etc. If you sell five cars this week versus ten last week those costs will remain the same. Likewise commissioned sales people. They still have rent or mortgage payments to make, mouths to…

Consumer Reports once did a deeper dive into its reliability data and found manual transmission Focus and Fiestas actually had average or better reliability. The Power Shift automatic was dragging the numbers way down.

For the “gasoline in their veins” crowd it’s all about the exhaust note. Doesn’t matter how fast your Tesla Model S Plaid is, if you can’t wake up the neighbors when you leave for work in the morning they don’t want it. It’s what bad boyz do.

I was going to post this, too. I own an ND Miata and wasn’t really looking for it, just figured it didn’t have one. Then read on a forum where it was. Now I figure it was added as an afterthought when someone realized it was needed for the tire inflation kit.

No button, IIRC, you just pushed in on the end of the turn signal stalk.

Just saw one of these driving around town this week. Like today’s NP/ND car it looked to be in pretty good shape and the fact someone was keeping a 20 year old car on the road was impressive. NP.

I was going to point that out, too. AWD won’t be available until later. By then will buyers have lost interest or shopped elsewhere?

Not with that upholstery.
