Ad says it hasn't been started since 2004 and may have wiring issues. Looks amazing cosmetically, though. Thoughts?

Base model with likely the OE plastic coolant crossover intake still on it. Would need essentially every fluid gone over along with all the hoses. Sitting does no favor to a car.
While it's low mileage, it's going to need work, so I'd say that price is a bit high.
My Cars:
-1964 Comet 202 (116K Miles) - Long Term Project
-1979 Ford LTD Landau (38K Miles) - New Cruiser
-1986 Dodge D-150 Royale SE (112K Miles) - Slowly Getting Put Back Together
-1987 Grand Marquis Colony Park LS (343K Miles) - April 2017 + September 2019 POTM Winner
-1997 Grand Marquis LS (244K Miles) - March 2015 + January 2019 POTM Winner - Sold (05/2011 - 07/2024) -
My thought as well, however, seller seems to believe that low mileage trumps all of the above. If it were me, I would do the necessary work, scrounge a few junkyard harnesses to replace the chewed ones, and it'd be good go. It would take very little effort and cost to get it back up and running. Then he might have more seriousness behind the price.—John

If it was running... that price would fly. But since it's not running, let it sit a few more years.

Mileage seems to trump all feasible logic in any case it seems. That coupled with shiny paint & a clean interior are the only things that nets bigger money short of someone showing a custom car with documented rebuilds and everything looking minty. Even then... I've never been able to get more money out of some car I've sold despite my binders full of documentation, telling and proving to sellers all fluids have been changed, undersides treated with Krown, ect ect. If anything, it seems the more verbage I add to a listing, the less interest I get. Meanwhile I watch ads for similar vehicles but in better shape cosmetically go all week long.Originally posted by Giraffe View Post
