Is This 1999 Saleen Worth $51k?

1999 Ford Mustang Saleen s351 #37 1000HP! | Addison, Texas | Texas Hot Rides

I know it sounds like a nice build, but $51k, even with the mods and almost no miles, seems high. Or maybe I'm just cheap.

Anyway, thought I would post this to see what you guys think. Would you plunk down that much change for this car? I'm sure it was a "gentle" 8k miles. ;-):lol1:

Looks good but that's a TON of cash!!

The 1999 S351 fetch high dollar but not 51k. Plus the mods on that car hurt the value.

This S351 might go for 51k today.

An SR widebody maybe, maybe might be worth that much if the miles are low. I have to say, the mods would hurt the value of that car drastically.

If it has 1000 hp and gets 29 mpg I'm in!:rockon:

My apologies guys...I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. I tested the link, and others seem to be able to see it. :shrug:

Glad to see others feel the same as I do. I think it's a sweet car, but for me, those kinds of mods, as you guys have said, totally kill the resale. For $51k, you have many other, better options. It's possible to find used Trinity GT500's for that much. Granted, not with 1000HP, but the all-around car is better.

Anyway, thanks for viewing the thread. Keep the opinions coming! :beer:

Like others have said, the mods would only hurt the value of the car. I think its nice but not worth the current price.

 

[CobraBob]

Yeah, it's high, but then any car I guess is worth what the ultimate buyer is willing to pay.

 

[Jack Burton]

Hell no. I'm not buying a modded/caged car for that money. I'd buy a lightly modded c6z06 for a lot cheaper and be happier.

 

[Jroc]

There are quit a few other cars I'd buy before it, but then again I've never been a huge fan a New Edge Saleen Mustangs. I think the SN95 Saleens were much better looking cars.

 

[VenomousDSG]

I'd say mid 20s to maybe 30K would be a good price for that. 50K is insane...

 

[Sick03Vert]

I was thinking $30k tops myself.

 

[mr-proper]

the car is clean as hell.
sure dont look like a "build at my garage with buddys and beer"
build a Ford 351 Sportsman Block with Fox Lake Stage 3 TFS heads from reputable shop at you spend at least 10k for that longblock. add a supercharger for 6k and thats already 16k on mods, not even counting fuel system etc.

i think its fair price!!

 

[R.D.P.]

I'll say 35k, maybe - if you could find the right buyer. Problem is anyone willing to pay that is going to want an all original s351. It was really pretty stupid to put all that money into a s351.

 

[2KBlackGT]

Man that car is clean as ****! Not sure its 51k clean but very nice none the less.

 

[TaraFirma]

Not 51k.
Mr Propper, you don't add up the cost of all the mods and add that to fair market value. thats not how it works. You never get out of a car what you put into it in mods.

 

[thepizz]

Car is clean. And the cage is a work of art and can be partially removed so back seats can be used. And it says it was built and owned by the owner of UGR.

$50k...not for me but the money is def in the car.
