Hey guys I'm going to look at an 03 DSG cobra in the next week and I was wondering what I should keep my eyes open in terms of use and stuff likethat? By the way ithas 44,XXX on it and the asking price is $21,900. Any tips you can bring to the table would be great

 

Here you go! Can a mod make this link a sticky for 03/04 Cobra info!

Definitely should be a sticky. Thanks for the info

 

For that amount of miles it's not that bad... is it stock? Does he have any cooling mods? What kinda tires are on it?

 

Completely stock. Has the belt cover on it. Shows a little wear and tear likes chips in the paint and stuff. As far as the tires, they look as though they have even wear. I checked to see if the backs had more but they look equal.

 

Well, the tires.. what kind are they? A lot of people return the terminators back to stop before they sell them. Get a compression test, find out if he's had the head tick fix. Look @ the pulley, you can normally see signs of whether or not it's ever been pullied. When you drive it, feel for the "clunk" when you shift, also check the differential casing for leaks (Terminators are known for that). Also look at the tires, if the right one is more worn the the other, you will need to replace the rear differential. Those are some of the major things I remember looking for...

FYI.. when I bought my Cobra it had the pulley cover on it... hiding the 2.81 Steeda pulley underneath [:'(]

 

In that faq, it says that an option for the terminators was a spoiler delete. Now...I think I'm confused. Are they not counting the ducktail spoiler as a spoiler? I have never seen or heard of a Cobra with a blank rear deck. But if that was the case, I've never seen a 03-04 with a regular lifted "spoiler" either. I'm confused

 

Nope, I've seen cobras with no spoiler at all on ebay and such.

 

I have seen one one SVT Forums, guy put a Cobra R spoiler on it though.
