    Default 1986 LX 5.0 vert at Richardson, TX Ford dealer

    You don't see these cars pop up at new car dealers very often. The interior of this one needs some help, but the exterior looks good and the price is certainly reasonable. I am not interested in buying it (not a Capri, you know), but it is so close to my office that I am tempted to check it out over lunch today.

    thats a sweet car, and missed marked as an auto. A nice original looking 5.0, 5speed LX ragtop. can't beat that at that price. the interior looks decent to me, but, with those few pictures hard to tell. I would love to see the engine compartment, if its all stock like the exterior and interior, definitely worth a look see. Minor body damage biggest drawback for me, but, it looks to have all original paint. nice post...like you said, you just dont see nice original cas like this pop up for reasonable starting prices. Id like to have it as a beater driver, lots of fun for a 5 speed car.

    I drove by North Central Ford to take a quick look at the car. It was nowhere to be seen and I did not feel like talking to some salesman and waiting for it to be located, so I left. Upon my return to the office, I sent them an e-mail asking the whereabouts of the car.

    The dealer has not bothered to respond to my inquiry. Oh well.

    Mine, too, which is why I zipped by there yesterday. I glanced in the direction of the lot on the way to work this morning as well, but still did not see it. They must have it stashed in the back.

    Defiantly needs some TLC. Not to bad though. I'm sure you could get them down to 2k or less. They just want to get rid of it.

    I've bought several new cars and trucks from them, they are easy to deal with in my experiences.

    The General Manager has seen my vert before. He drewled over it last year when he saw it. He said it must be worth 30k... typical car dealer GM BS. Haha!

    Did you tell him that he could have it for only 25k and then sell it for a hefty profit?

    until you go to trade it in, then it's worth 500 bucks.

    I should have, it wasn't for sale at the time. I ought to roll over there an see what he says now. He's says he remembers selling these cars when they were new in 85.

    This 'vert looks nice for the price. Would probably look way better with some gray trim touch up, a good cleaning of the interior, and a thorough detail.

    I would bet that the car is probably owned by one of the employess there and it is not actually lot inventory, hence it not being on the lot.
