Just saw this at local O'Reilly. Said to be all original. Swivel front seat. Belongs to their delivery driver. 20250217_134425.jpg
 
If you were thinking of buying it, do your homework. They do not have a great re-sale value. So, if the car has not been gone over and lots of stuff replaced or updated, you might be in for some money fixing it up.

Maybe the Urgent Care in the background is an Omen! 🐦‍⬛

But seriously, the car looks reasonably clean and the 16.5K asking price seems mid-range based on the numbers provided in your link.

Sweet thing. That bird emblem is so detailed. It has a for sale sign and you only took 1 pic?

Only 1 pic as the owner was out on a run and the typical young uns inside couldn't tell me squat about it. I looked inside and took a picture but through the glass it wasn't something I would share. If I had 16k to play with I'd get mine painted and then do something like a 6r80 and a little more omph.

What do you think about that driver's seat? I think it's a bit more worn than I expect to see on a 201 mile car. Paint doesn't shine as I would expect either, but maybe it's dusty?

Maybe it is just the pictures? I'm sure it is a beautiful car in person, but it just doesn't jump out of the pictures like I would expect a 200 mile car to. The driver's seat looked strange to me too, but who knows. I'm sure Ford wasn't using absolute top quality leather. Still, 200 miles is less than a week's worth of driving for me. I wouldn't expect it to look like that after such a short amount of seat time. Then again it has probably just been sat in while parked a thousand times too.
 
Its been rare to see a real low mileage black interior classified to compare it to, I think I had only seen one of california that was going for about 22 grand but don't recall the seat condition. There's usually low mile white interiors, and that hides the cracks better

Heres mine as received at 95K. Considering how shoddy the driver door is, I think the previous lady didn't have many highway miles and bounced in and out of it frequently. I bet Terminator's seat is in better condition at 220K :LOL:

If it really is 204 miles, that will solidify my suspicion that ford used gift wrapping tape to secure the door jam stickers
 
Beautiful car w/great pictures. It would be too hard not to drive it and keep the miles low.
Mostly, I just want those Ford floor mats.

It looks about the same, TBH. This is it as of about 10 minutes ago with 230,6xx miles. Thanks for the reminder, I just went and rubbed some leather conditioner on it. :)

I'm also skeptical of the mileage. It's clean... but not 200 miles clean.

It looks like a 50k mile car. It’s definitely nicer than a lot of Marks out there but it doesn’t have the things I’d expect of a barely ever driven 200 mile car. I almost wonder if the owner stumbled across a NOS instrument cluster with 000000 miles and swapped it in before putting on the couple hundred on it.


It’s either that or it really has that few miles was left outside and the owner sat in the seat pretending to drive it a lot.

I'll keep roasting it....
the 201 miles were on freshly salted roads. While they were pretending to drive it in storage they used the cupholder enough it broke, while also somehow chipping the radio bezel.

IMO either someone already got scammed, or if it sells someone is about to be
