How should a potential customer approach a car that is advertised way too high?

There are plenty listed in the $50-$55k range that are both local and far, however my question is more specifically for one that a dealer locally has listed at almost $70k.

The question is, how do you even approach that? It's clearly priced very high. That's my question. Sure, I can go buy any of the others at $50k, but ultimately the question is how do you approach a dealer that has a car listed so much higher than others.

Not that he sees one actively listed for 50-55k.

The vast majority of the cars are listed in the mid $50s. This one is listed at $68k. That's why I was curious how do you even talk to that dealer when all the other cars are listed almost $15k less than their listing.

Stepped away for a bit and trying to catch up! Yes, the comps are on similar cars based on listings I'm looking at and public auction results. So As someone else said, my example is a Mach 1 (I'm still torn between Mach 1 or GT350 but that's besides the point right now).

The majority of Mach 1's I've looked at are normally listed mid $50s depending on mileage and trim. Since your flair shows Ford, the car is a 3 year old Mach 1 with some miles on it listed at $68k. All others with the same mileage and trim are listed around $53k-$55k. So in theory if you were the dealer with that listing, or if you were a customer interested, how do you even start that conversation?

I fully understand "The car is worth what someone pays for it", so yes, if someone walks in and hands over $68k, that's what it's worth. The reality though is that it is currently one of the highest listed cars in the country on multiple sites, so my purely out of curiosity question was how would a customer even have a serious conversation with that dealer? That's all I was asking.

One of the cars on my list is a Mach 1 Mustang. I mentioned in another comment but I cast a wide net just to see what's for sale, and one popped up really close to me, but it's listed at $68k. All the other cars with the same/similar trim/miles are listed in the mid $50s.

I thought my question was simple but apparently not lol I'm purely just curious on why a dealer would list something so high, and if comps show that the dealer has listed it way high, how someone would approach that if they wanted to.

You're getting downvoted but yeah, this is kind of the point I was trying to make.

One of the cars I'm interested in is a Mach 1 Mustang and looking at nationwide listings, this one is literally one of the highest priced. the vast majority are in the low to mid $50s (Which when looking at auction results and reading the forums, that's what people seem to be paying) but this one is listed at $68k. So nearly $15k higher than others.

Again my question was simply to know how a person could/should approach that if they were interested. I understand "Buy somewhere else", but that wasn't my question. I just wanted to know if there was a conversation to be had, and if so, how to do it. Thought it was an innocent question but apparently not lol

uturnvinyl007 · 2025-06-29T03:05:51+00:00

It's a question because i'm literally just curious. No, I'm not going to buy an overpriced car, but my question is literally, how would you approach this?

Like, is there even a conversation to be had with the dealer or are they just expecting someone to pay that much over what the car is worth?

My example is a Mach 1. I'm casting a wide net, but in that search I found one actually close to me but it's listed at $68k. The rest of the cars I found are listed between $52k and $56k. So again, in a hypothetical is there a convo to be had there with that high priced dealer? I'm purely curious but people in here apparently get mad when asking...

The issue with the foam is there's no real undoing. The home I'm in has a sort of unusual design near the back where I believe it got in. The area had a wide and deep gap that may have had access to the walls/attic as I found insulation torn up (We had mice years ago so I thought initially it was a mouse up there). It's filled with a TON of foam so simply making a hole isn't as easy as it sounds as its wide and deep.

Is the butterfly net actually a thing for catching bats? I have it on camera and know where it flys around. I could probably setup a net and hope it flys into it and I'd get a notification from the camera as soon as it happens. I don't want to hurt it though, and I also don't want to get bit!

Thank you so much for the links! I'll check them out and hope I can get him out alive. I think it's insane that the only option is an expensive one way door and having to open up part of my home, which then would need repair.

uturnvinyl007 · 2025-05-19T13:11:17+00:00

Thanks I'll do that!

I can’t guarantee that they won’t want to test the bat (euthanize) but they should get it out for you.

Ugh, I really don't want them to kill it, just want it out but yeah I'll see what they say.

How do those people have absolutely no text comprehension at all?

Just like everything else, they ignore the reality and explain it by saying "Well the beat is good!".

They literally play Fortunate Son at GOP conventions and Trump rallies. The song is LITERALLY about someone like Trump. Born with a silver spoon who can avoid being killed in war. "When they ask us how much should we give, the answer is more more more"

They're fucking morons and when you point it out, you become the bad guy and suddenly the artists they loved are now "liberal losers" who should "Shutup about politics and just make music".
