Default Im 19 and thinking about getting an 03/04 Cobra..

Yeah. I'm really into the cobras now and think about getting one. Right now i got a 320RWHP ls1 camaro that i'm already getting pretty bored of(auto X_X). Also have an 88 GT. Im keeping the 98gt for awhile but i might end up selling the other 2 and getting a loan for the rest of the cash towards a terminator.

Right now im paying 700$ a year for my ls1 with pretty good coverage. How much more would it be for the terminator?

Is it possible to get one for $15k?

Dont really car about mileage since itll be my daily driver car so i wouldnt mind one having 50-80k on one.

How reliable are these cars?

thanks. =D

3 cars and only 18...I'd get rid of ALL 3 cars and buy the Cobra for sure! ...Buy the Cobra and don't look back!

...Not sure about $15k, but I have seen them in the $17k range...Good Luck!

Yeah the car bug me in the ass hard. lol. The reason why the 98 is staying is cause its being used by my friend for now.

How are the cobras for daily driving? thats why i dont really care for low mileage. Im looking to spend around 15-17k on one. Hoping around 9-10k for both of my cars so i can get a loan for the rest

I test drove a Terminator not to long ago, I loved it. The only thing I want to say is that clutch is rediculous lol. If I got a /terminator my first mod is changing that clutch, it pushed me back to the seat almost lol jk. But the car is just awesome.

Back when I was shopping around for Cobras earlier this year, I saw an '03 with about 50k on the clock for $14,500. I didn't do anything more than look at it b/c I was only looking to spend 10-11k, but I think if you look hard enough and aren't overly concerned with mileage, they can be found. Should you get your hands on one, I think you'll be extremely happy with it. Good luck.

im 18, cobra is in my/moms name for insurance reasons. 600 every 6 months, her driving record is perfect.

I say get it if you are 100% sure it is what you want. I'm trying to sell mine. It's a great car but its just not what I want. I'm probably going to get back into a 67-68

btw ive had three mustangs also =)

Insurance surpised me with my z28.. Im paying 706$ for the whole year so thats 353 for 6 months.

I see 1 for 10k but its salvaged and has body damage. Dont wanna touch that. lol. If i see one in the 15k range ill go check it out then if its what i want.. ill sell the 2 cars.

My main choices where terminator cobra or a sn197 gt but i like how the cobras are really holding their value

Insurance rates seem to apply to the year of the vehicle more than the power of the car
