Sounds and looks like a good deal. But, that is a very high mile Cobra.

How big is your budget on a car? Reason I ask, for nearly 10K for a 99-01 N/A Cobra, you can pick up an 03/04 Cobra with 50-60+ K miles for high teens. Insurance is not very expensive depending on your record and age, and you would be getting a better Cobra.

Also, the thing that I am not fond of, is that the 99-01 Cobras even being 4V motors, don't respond very well to bolt ons. My buddies 05GT with bolt ons makes close to what a 99-01 Cobra would make with full bolt ons.

Just a thought.

How do you make a profit when your still spending money? I mean, the money you spent is a sunk cost that you'll never get back like sales tax and licensing......i'm lost i guess

you need math lessons....if he pays 5k for a car for example, after tax title etc, 6k.... sells it for 7k...now he is up 1000 dollars...

having $1k more than you had previosuly = profit
