Question From Larry: I’m looking at a 2008 mustang. V6 with pony package, 12,000 miles. The car is at a ford dealer. The lowest price so gfar they have given me is $15,995. I thing 15,000 would be a fair price. What do you think? Thanks

Queen of the Road: Hi Larry. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! I would start at $13k and compromise in between!

For a 2008 Ford Mustang V6 Coupe with 12,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $14,600 (being in above average condition) to $13,000 (being in average condition) and $11,500 (being in below average condition).

Question: How much should I pay for used 2008 Ford Mustang v6 deluxe 2dr coupe with about 17,700 miles?

Queen of the Road: Hi there! Welcome to AutoBragBlog. The price you should pay depends on who you’re buying from.

For a 2008 Ford Mustang V6 Coupe with 17,700 miles, wholesale prices range from $14,400 (being in above average condition) to $13,700 (being in average condition) and $13,000 (being in below average condition).

A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $14,500 to $16,000. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

Question From Wilma: How much should i pay for a used 2008 Ford Fusion V6? The one that I am looking at has 6k miles, traction control, sport package and sun roof. I currently have a 2007 Fusion V4 basic. I want to make sure it makes sense to trade-up to get one with more options or does it make sense to pursue a 2009 model considering all the employee pricing.

Question From Margaret: Hello Expert,

Any idea what a reasonable price is for a 2008 used ford edge with 5,000 miles? It is being sold by a private seller. The car is loaded except for DVD. I was thinking of offering 28,000 but not sure what impact the recession and high inventory levels has on used car sales from private sellers. The car is clear according to the car fax report. Any and all help is appreciated. Edmonds says the value is 27,250 but the seller says KBB is 31,900.

Question: We are considering a new Ford Taurus- with little difference between ‘08 and ‘09 we were hoping to get a great deal on an ‘08 that is still on the dealer lots- we figure they should be willing to deal. Quote we got was $24,900 with MSRP of $29,855. Is this any good for a new ‘08 Limited?

Queen of the Road: Hi there! Welcome to AutoBragBlog.

Here’s the deal you’re being offered right now…
MSRP: $29,855
Selling Price: $24,900
Savings: $4,955
% OFF MSRP: 16.59%
It seems like a huge savings, right? $5000 is alot, but you could actually be saving $6,700. That’s a new TV!

Question From Mark: I am looking to maybe buy a new 2008 Edge Limited 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A) from a dealer here in 2009. The MSRP is $36,395. There is a $4000 rebate that brings it to $32,395. The dealer discounted additional $2000 to $30, 395. How much lower can i get them on this 2008??

Queen of the Road: Hi Mark. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!

Wow, it looks like you’ve been blessed with discounts left and right. Then again, you’re buying an older model that dealerships need to clear off their lots. Naturally, you should be offered many incentives to buy. You can buy the car at a lower price. The maximum discount for the Edge is $9,600.
