I say yes. 1- Pay off your car first (Don't buy any mods for it so you can use your mod money for your car payment) or 2- Get a cobra from a dealer, Have them pay off the rest of your loan for you and then start fresh with the cobra Or Sell your car to carmax and then use the check they give you to pay off the rest of the car loan. I was like you...I Had a 2007 GT, was upside down $3k, I couldn't wait to get my cobra so I had the dealer add the 3k onto the cobras price & then they also gave me 21k$ as a trade in. There are many ways to do it.

But I say do it...The 03/04 cobra is such a nice car and you start out with alot of power already. But only do what you can afford. Don't put yourself in a hole. Just my .02

I would get a Cobra if i had the extra money if i we're you. Not only does it hold it's value more but it's alot faster and you can get great gains with little money if that is what you want. The 03/04 Cobra is by far the best thing Ford has ever made period.

Only problem you can run into is blowing clutches and some03s iheard have had head ticking problems. It is a verystrong motor overall though.

The first thing you need to do if you get a cobra is the IRS brace & the head cooling mod. I would not ever race my car or dump the cluth unless i had them 2 mods. There a must! GET THE COBRA ALREADY! lol

Remeber to get a coupe and not a vert unless you like em. Also try to get one with low miles and 100% stock. I would not buy it if it has a pullie swap on it.

yea i will for no reason buy an auto, convertible or anything with more than 50k on it, no yellow or silver either And its gotta be the terminator(03 or 04), I'm pretty specific, if im going to up my monthly payment to 4 -500 it has to be more than perfect. Another thing that set me over the top was how many ford made!!!! These will def be a collectors item like the 60's and 70's model of today. but all in all, i just love em! whatd u think

They dont make them in a auto. Only a 6spd. They hold there value real well. They also get more rare by the day with so many people smashing them up and they end up being totaled. I blame this on young kids who get ahold of them. But im only 20.
