FS: This 98 CE once more makes an appearance on the 'Bay

[tbirddmnd]

A "brand-new" 98 CE #0842 with exactly 000092.5 miles on the odometer in Plymouth Michigan, asking price almost the same as when it was bought new. I think our friend on here should "pulley and manual" this one.

JMO....It will never sell at that price. Who would buy it and not drive it?

The Ford museum, but last i remember hearing was that they kept one.
If i hit the mega lottery for millions i may consider it, but i would drive it now and then and to Carlisle :thumbsup:

$42k is almost $60k in 1998 currency after taking the inflation and other factors into account. So, it's actually a great price The dollar has lost its value in the recent years even more so.

I have a new engine here ready to go, just no car to stuff it into. It gets more difficult every day it seems. It would definitely bring this '98 classic to a '12 technology though Saved enough money yet ???

Seriously though I've been trying to buy this car for years. I don't know why though. It belongs to someone who will care more than I do


There is some wiggle room on the price (quite surprising actually).

Even if it does sell for the asking price, it wasn't a very good investment, was it?

I think he may be better served taking it to an exclusive auction with a reserve price.

Off topic, but what is lurking in your garage?

I am nowhere near this guy's asking price, if I were I would use it as a down payment for a larger house!

By the way I left you (J) a voicemail - just thinking out loud.

WOW it's like a time capsule! It's not nearly old enough to net that kind of money yet in my opinion. It's absolutely gorgeous though, I wouldn't even want to breath on it let alone drive it

I think it would be fun to do a massive burn out with it as I pulled away with it then park it till Carlisle.

Wanna swap?

Wanna swap?

Not sure I understand ?

Regardless, I doubt you would like the chopping that needs to be done for that powerplant to actually fit
