My data is completed sales on eBay.

How about the average or maximum sales prices too? Can you share data on that?

How about mileage/condition and whether the sellers are dealers or private?

Thanks.

You don't state if they're used (or how many miles). Just another variable, cause new cars may be higher.

GT entry level prices

My only interest is to determine the price required to purchase a Ford GT with a clear title in excellent condition. I don’t care if the car comes from a dealer or a private party. I’m also not interested in tracking price vs. color or even options. The mileage isn’t an issue because few GTs are over 6K miles and to me, that’s still a new car. The data clearly shows that the entry level price for a Ford GT is dropping. I’ll continue tracking the data until I see the market bottom out and start to reverse.

I think there may be people out there with an interest in attempting to artificially devalue our cars.

So, of course, if that is their primary interest, they might truly not care about the quality of the data input, only the hopeful result.

Not saying that is the intent of any of the posters on this thread, but something to think about.

If I intended to spend $130,000+ on a used car, I'd be very concerned about mileage, condition, color and options.

Oh well, the more cars out of the hands and dealers and into the hands of first time buyers, or keepers, the better it will be for current owners anyways, as enough transactions will bring the cars to a place where they will be held and enjoyed, and off the market.

And the more contributing members to our forum. We were all looking for a good deal too at one point, and everyone has their own methods of how to obtain a good deal.

I found this quote in an MSN article by Jim Kenzie on the internet that reviewed the SLR and GT:

As Chris Theodore put it when he gave the Ford GT's development team their overall mandate, "I want you to imagine you're sitting at a stoplight in a Ford GT, and no matter what car pulls up beside you, no matter how exotic, how much they paid or what badge it's wearing, you'll be able to say, 'My car looks better than your car; it is faster than your car; it handles better than your car; and I didn't get ripped off when I bought it . . . "
