    Default 1986 5.0 lx-$8500

    Selling an '86 LX, 5.0 coupe. I've had the car for about a year now and have put about 5K miles on it in that time. All original except for one poorly done repaint (medium canyon red) and an Explorer intake added by the P.O. I received the original intake parts when I bought the car. Has occasional surging idle. No ten-holes, ugly 16" pony wheels with good tires. The car has 63K original miles. Five-speed with power windows, locks, remote trunk and fuel door release, tilt wheel, cruise control, posi rear end, am/fm auto reverse cassette, convenience light option (glove box light, map light and lights in the trunk and under the hood) and A/C. I had the A/C charged before driving the car to Destin (and I got 23 mpg) and by the time we returned it had lost most of its charge. Therefor I had the entire system replaced and updated to 134, including the compressor, evap core, condenser core, high and low pressure lines, heater core and blower motor (I have receipts). Works very well now. No cracks in dash. The grey drivers seat has a split in the bottom and the map pocket is missing from the drivers door panel. Don't think the spare has ever been out of the trunk. As for the price, it's very firm. It's one of 216 canyon red, LX, 5.0s built in 1986. Much of this info is already known to four-eyed fans but I just cut and pasted from my Craigslist ad. I intend to buy an SN95 with the $$. And if I don't sell it (which I doubt that I will), I'm content to keep it. I'm west of Atlanta.

    Nice. Looks like my old 86 I sold earlier this year.

    Mine doesn't look near that good. Like the Cobra wheels, too.

    If it didn't need paint I'd buy it.

    Well, it does.

    Doesn't make sense for me to spend $2500-4000 so I can sell it for $9000.

    Exactly!!! Doesn't make sense for someone to buy it for $8500 when it has a bad paint job on it.

    It's worth what someone will pay. Yes? I've made it clear that I'll keep it if I don't get my price; So, I can count you out?

    Stick to your guns. Won't be too long and you'll be able to start inching that price UPWARD... and everyone will kick themselves for not jumping on it.

    Nice car...I personally don't think the paint is a deal-breaker at that price. I would suggest putting some 10-hole wheels on it first chance you get tho.

    "Won't be too long and you'll be able to start inching that price UPWARD... "

    That's my thought too.

    The hard part is keeping the miles off the durn thing. Fun to drive. And all the conveniences.

    Suddenly have two offers at my asking price (not sure if they're both serious, but seems so) and I'm wondering if I under-priced it!

    Did they actually come look at it? I would think a serious buyer who comes and see it, would buy it?

    Based on other coupes posted here in the last year or so, I'd take the money and run.

    It appears I was too optimistic. You'd think I'd have learned by now. People call and text then nothing. But as I've said before, every time someone calls I kind of panic that I might actually sell it!! LOL!

    Might be a good car for a paint and body man.
