Step right up and place your bets...

1995 Montego/Tan, Tourin. 47K on the clock. Clear CarFax. Cali car. Seems to be original with recent maintenance.

I'll saaaaaaay. $25K.

I'll say $20k. Difficulty starting warm + repaint + shitty pictures + gross interior. Needs a new engine most likely. Peanut gallery is going to destroy this one.

Certainly not a car a collector will be interested in. Bidding will go to 22K, but will not make reserve. The GOAT has spoken

Wish they had detailed it....

No bose, final year of production, the 94+ tan scheme doesn't offend, low-ish miles, california car. It's got a lot going for it.

Bad season, not the best presentation, but tax returns are coming. Tough to call it. I'll say $27,500.

In March 2017 I paid $20,500 on BaT for my California 1995 MB with same options, mileage, and better cosmetic condition (no hard start issues).

That was a good deal, then. And, a great deal now.

This 95 mb is all about quality of paint work and compression. Nice that it's a bone stock 95 and a CA car (body looks good) BUT interior is rough or it's worn and faded etc....

Injectors replaced so possibly leaking which could explain hot start but you'd typically have start issues hot or cold. So probably low compression due to carbon. This doesn't look like a well cared for FD.

At this time I'll say 25k until the buyer responds. I don't see it selling for more than 30 or going lower than 20.

Guess I'm sticking with 25k. Hopefully the buyer gets lucky and the car has quality paint and good compression.

$19k. The poor presentation kills it.

YEP, the seller isn't playing ball that's for sure.

Again I prefer a seller who isn't putting lipstick on a pig which surprisingly is one of the comments someone made about the paint job (rough crowd on BAT). This guy doesn't care and I won't be surprised if it sells for less than 25k and someone gets a good deal. Hell it may not even have a reserve Typical sellers trying to rob you are the exact opposite.

He didn't even clean the interior. He's like; here's my 95 FD, I like to hold the shift ****, I leave it in the sun, I drive for years on old tires, the gas tank door got dented up (no explanation about how much damage, how it happened etc...) and I decided to paint cause it was also faded blah blah blah. Don't have a receipt, can't get compression done, eff you, either buy it or stfu.

I think you and I are some of the few that can appreciate his style. We've seen the reality of a "pristine" FD one too many times after unloading it off of a semi.

My opinion is that selling in February was a big mistake. Half the country is having severe weather. It shrinks the pool of buyers.

Great Buy. That thing is a $1k detail/paint correction from being a $25-27k FD.

19.5 rounds up to 20 right? What do I win??

That new listing has some garbage photography (EVEN WORSE than the last one!!). I can't believe they even allowed that to be posted.
