Default hey what should I do???

I got a salvaged 2000 mustang gt for $4000 as my first car, it runs great and I knew the owner, but I really want a cobra 94 and up, so should I sell my car, which I cleaned out and is running smooth with 101000 miles, and for how much? I'd prefer a 99-04 cobra but any will do.

there is a reason you only got the car for 4000. Your not going to get any more money by selling it.

If you want a cobra sell it, but dont expect more than 4000 for a salvaged title car; I am actually surprised you paid that much for it.

if ur gonna sell it, it will have to be cheap, the gt value is real low now plus thats a high milage salvage title, but if u get a cobra u will love it, they r beasts

Sell it for what you paid for, save up about 5gs more, and buy a mint 96-98 Cobra.

Again, there is a reason it is so cheap. IT HAS A SALVAGED TITLE. That means it was wrecked and the insurance company did not think it was worth it to repair it, so someone bought the car back and fixed it.

A salvaged title more than cuts the value of the car in half, normally the car is worth about a 3rd of the normal value.

Your not going to get much for your car bro, It might just be easier for you to just drop a 4v cobra motor into your car you have now.

+1 it would be much cheaper and easier on your part to just drop a 4v in your car and do the appearance stuff yourself. you wont get much for a salvage title
