RE: 1994 Mark VIII Purchase Questions

When did you buy yours Dave? How many years newer is yours? Even with all the mods you have done it still has not sold. Please dont interpret that as putting your car down. Seen it in person and it is a fine example. Yet it still has not sold. Fact is, the minute he drives away with it, it will lose value. The only chance the current owner has at selling it that high is to an unsuspecting/uneducated buyer. I could not immagine buying a car, getting in a crash and finding out that the insurance is going to pay out less than I paid or owed. I personally think its important to detatch yourself and look at the dollars and cents of it when making a large purchase. After the six grand he will still have to upgrade the tranny, probably do something with the lights and may still have driveline vibaration. Just due to age many of the bushings are going to be shot. Even though it is low millage it will probably still need suspension work. If the rear sway bar has not broken yet, it soon will. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

I thought his baby was in better condition than that...but I could be wrong.
A buyer would be hard to find, but if I suddenly lost my Mark I would be picking up his in a heart beat. It may take a couple years to find a buyer though.
