I decided to put my 1989 LX 5.0L on ebay and see what happens. I never
thought this day would come but I really think it is time to move on to a
newer Mustang. I need to get rid of the old one first since I don't have
the garage space for two cars that would be basically "toys" for the most
part. Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/2acoet

It is a very nice looking car. However, it is my guess you won't be able to
sell it on Ebay. The success rate on Ebay is pretty low, and I think with a
$10k opening level, it is going to be hard to for an individual seller to
generate any interest. When I looked tonight, there were 41 1989 Mustangs on
Ebay, and yours had the highest listed price of any non Saleen / non
convertible 1989 Mustang. The mods are very valuable, but I think you are
going to need to find a real enthusiast to get full value. The problem with
Ebay is that you get a very limited time window. Autotrader or Cars.com will
leave the ad up for a very long time, which works in your favor. Craig's
List is a great deal too....
Just an observation ...
Another deal killer may be "no cats".
It rules out at least one whole highly populated state, and most large
cities.
Has it ever passed a sniff-test ?
It was licensed in a state that had no emissions or safety inspections.
I agree that most mods made to cars don't increase the selling value.
In other words you don't get back your 'investment' ;->
I'm not even asking for half of what I spent on modifications. If it doesn't sell then part of me won't be all that disappointed.
Nice car BTW, I also have an '89 LX5.0, completely stock.
