Optimus485

I'm looking at this guys 2003 Black Cobra.

Original owner, although he works at Harmon Audio Automotive systems and put in a chrysler GPS Nav system, with all top of the line infinity speakers. He also cut a hole in the center dash for a 5.1 speaker. It looks like its been done right, but the radio just looks silly in a ford...

It has a 6 inch scratch on the rear quater panel, the rear brake light lens is cracked, it needs new tires, and probably brakes soon.

The engine compartment has never been cleaned, so It needs some TLC.

Said he would go $17,000 cash today.

Should I do it?

miles ?......sounds like they've been " hard miles"

wont most cobras have some rough miles aside from a few?

36,000 miles. Original owner, probably 50 year old guy. I drove it this morning, its not beat, still feels tight. Just needs an alignment.

Compairing all the other prices of 03-04 cobras, $17,000 seems fair?

19 yr old kid/50 yr old man......theres one hell of a difference in their driving habbits

CAMDUP

does seem fair i would think

It was owned by a 45-50 year old guy. He said his daughter just turned 16, and his insurance sky rocketed, and just wants it gone... its the 3rd brake light lens that is cracked. Said it was like that when he got it brand new.

for the miles id go for it. little things aside its a good deal. most of those problems are easy fixes anyway.

CAMDUP

as a matter of fact ....you may wanna hurry b4 its gone

Yeah they are all small cosmetic fixes, but as far as re-sale, when i sell it in a year or two, do you think that radio will turn buyers off?
