Hi all. I should have joined this forum years ago. I bought the ST new in Maryland. Best deal I found including the flight to get. Made a fun trip out of it with my wife. :) (thank god I sent winter tire down to be put on before driving home thru the snow, lol) I always thought about modding it but never pulled the trigger . It’s been a great daily driver all these years. It’s like a little go cart!
As I’m coming up on 50k miles and 8 year (where does the time go?) I’m thinking it may be time to let her go to a new home. I’ve keep up on the standard maintenance, there are some small scuffs in the paint and interior, plus a few parts should be replaced in the next year. Here is my question: what work would be good to do to make it more sellable? Thanks in advance to all :)

What color and options (if any)??
Extra wheel/tire sets?
Let me guess, you bought it at Koons Ford, correct?

If so, that's where I should have gone (even though I would have had to rent a car for the trip at that time) since it would have been at least $3K less, if not more than that saved, than what I paid for mine at Fred Beans in Pennsyltucky.

I was just fearful that Beans in Doylestown, Pa., where I would have had to go to for any warranty work since they were the closest to me at that time, would be more spiteful, and not as careful about doing said work, if I brought in a car which I did not purchase there for any warranty work.

If you want to make it really desirable concerning maintenance done you could have the timing belt done. You're not close to the recommended mileage for doing it, but a mechanic friend that I trust recommends doing it at 8 years on a low mileage car. Our engine is an interference engine, and if the timing belt breaks the engine will basically be destroyed. So if I was thinking about buying your car seeing that the timing belt had been done would be a major plus.
