Default Sold the Monte, went back to my roots

So I sold Carla today , The guy offered $3000 I said thats too low so I said $3300 and he was sold. Mind you it has over 200k miles, its going to soon need a paintjob AND its not running right now... Think I did good?

Heres the new addition to the family:

Is that a v8? I can only see the one exhaust tip. If it's a v8, then I can forgive you. I guess $3,300 for a non-running 200,000 mile car is too good to pass up. Good luck with the 'Stang. I wanted to buy a 86 GT back when I was a kid. Mom and Dad would not allow it.

You got $3300 for a non-running 10 year old stock Monte? I'd say that's pretty good! Congrats.

The 'stang looks nice. Hope it's a good one for you. Enjoy!

Hi J.W.,
Sorry that you traded your Monte, but your Mustang looks in great shape...How many miles are on it ? How does it run ?

The most important thing is that you are happy with your new purchase 4-Sure...

I like the Mustangs, but prefer the Camaro more : ), but
that's why we are lucky to have so many choices in life.
Many do not

Wish you safe/happy trouble`free miles...
Keep intouch & let us know what you do to your Mustang.
* Member Vita also got a Mustang, and we have several Member's that also own Ford products & are very happy with them...Competition is Good 4 `all 4-Sure
Good Luck from `Space

I don't think a 2v 4.6L is an upgrade :P

Its an upgrade when your car isnt running. There are alot of mods available for those cars so it should be a fun car. I like that body style the best for some reason, especially the 96-98 cobras.
