Seems like a about a month ago, someone posted about the increasing price of Model T's on the current market and quoted some high prices. I replied on the post, saying that i had seen some reasonable priced cars in reasonable condition for sale on Facebook Marketplace, here in Texas. Last night, I made a list of a lot of those, currently available. It is not a complete list as I didn't include cars that were ridiculously overpriced, regardless of whether they were parts cars or show winners. Here's what I found: Parts car including 25 pickup bed, bits and pieces of a TT enclosed cab (no doors), and a 26-27 roadster or front half of touring body. price $800.00 ; restored 1927 coupe $13,000.00 ; driver 1926 roadster $11,500.00 ; 1926 tudor parts car missing only passenger rear fender $2100.00 ; restored 1927 3 seat depot hack $15500.00 ; 1927 coupe driver $9500.00 ; 1923-24 roadster driver $9000.00 ; 1922 touring driver $6500.00 ; 1927 fordor sedan restored $13000.00 ; 1922 huckster truck restored 13500.00 ; 1926 roadster body parts (no doors or deck lid $800.00 ; 1917 touring driver !2,995.00 ; 1925 pickup driver $12000.00 ; 1927 coupe needing restoration $7000.00. As I said this is not represented as a complete list, NOR do I have ANY connection or involvement with any of these. I have not contacted any sellers. My description of the car or parts condition is mine subject to what I could see in each photo. Your judgement may vary. If you have any interest and these cars are not shown on Facebook Marketplace in your locale, I would try to contact seller and put them in touch with you. otherwise this information is for information, only.

Asking price isn't always an indication of market price. What they sell for is a better indication of value, but not always. A lot depends on the buyer's geographic area, knowledge, car condition, credit ratings but mostly the desire to own "that one".

I agree, Frank. It never hurts to try to negotiate. It depends on how bad the seller wants to sell.
