i just bought a MINT 92 5.0 thunderbird... i love rear wheel drive.. no more front wheel drive vehicles for me so once again sad day for the berettas

i will be selling my beretta though, i have a 95 base just painted midnight blue has the z26 gfx and rear spoiler, absolutely mint no dents dings scratches or chips, perfect condition the interior is solid black, carpet is royal black the headliner was removed and the roof was carpeted to act as a sound deadener, the vehicle has 43k miles the trany is only 2 years old and has less than 10k on it, new motor mounts, fuel pump, plugs, wires, water pump, thermostat, a/c compressor, lower intake manifold gasket, both cv axles, complete brake job, the abs m/c was removed and now it has a standard brake master cylinder from a 92 grand am,  225/40/18 feretti messina 770 chrome rims and kumho ecsta super 711 tires less than 8 months old, nice mp3 head unit, 2 12s in a ported box, front speakers relocated in the doors, eibach lowering springs, strut tower brace, new kyb shocks and struts, 15% tint all the way around even on the windshield, and i think that about covers it.

now for the negatives of the car ---it doesn't have power windows, cruise control, fog lamps, sunroof, power seats, and no power side view mirrors although i planned on adding these, i just don't have the time and ever since the car was tinted the rear window defroster doesn't work anymore, im thinking maybe the man at the tint shop may have scraped off the heating element when he cleaned the window for the tint

im hoping to get $6k... is that reasonable???

I doubt you'd ever see 4 out of it, let alone 6.  There's just not that big of a demand for Berettas.

thus the reason I was happy when mine died....they arent worth jack in $$$...now sedimental value is high.....but that doesnt help with resale....

$200+ work into a beretta = $10 extra resale value

Coming from a person who owned a 90 Thunderbird SC.  You will kick yourself after about one year for getting rid of the Beretta.  Not to mention once I had my old 3400 done up, I was beating my co-workers 92 SC 5spd stop light to stoplight.

i believe the sc model is the supercharged 3800 engine... i have the v8 5.0 which i've been told is a much better engine

A 5spd SC car is definitely quicker than the 5.0 car.

Good luck selling your Beretta.  Sorry to say, but I think you'll find that you can only get about $3k for it.
