Im sorry for you loss too! However i think, being honest, maybe 25K max! with gas, insurance and the economy in the tank, i dont think more than that. I still would try higher, but good luck.

i would never sell something like that for anything less then 27k. Id keep it a few more years if you really wanna sell it, and sell it when the economy's better, because its getting there slowly. Honestly, KEEP IT! Drive it, Mod it! its addicting, youll love it

Low $$$ with fuel = poor economy ....If you do not get your asking $$$, hold out until things get a little better! OR as stated above, enjoy the Cobra!

More like a month late but i was just giving him an example. Reguardless of gas being $2.19, many people do not want to have such a "Gas Hog" at this moment in time. Especially when KBB says that the car should be around $20,715 for and excellent condition. Although i say that 20K is low for that car, come down from the clouds. I say if you want 30K keep it until the economy bounces back from the resession that we are facing. Until then you want to sell it now, 25K is what is probably going to be your best bet. The american economy is at a time where people have lost thousands in retirement savings, thousands in stocks, and people are in a mode of saving. Lets face it yea to the mustang community and other, the cobra is a bad boy however its still a mustang and it is not even a collectable (at least for now). I still think it a beautiful car, and how many cobras are out there stock with such low miles? I mean there are cobras with 2.6L KB with 15K on the motor laying 600+ RWHP being sold for 27K. Still there is always someone out there who wants a stock cobra and is willing to pay a good price for it, it doesnt hurt to try. Again, Good Luck!

You could get anywhere from 26k - 29k for the car. Depends on how badly someone will want it like someone else mentioned. Do not sell it for less than 26k.

That is assuming though the carfax is clean and all that good stuff!
