Default New to the 03/04 Cobra

Hi all,

My name is Jeff and I'm from NH, Been a stang fan for awhile, recently sold my Saleen and now I'm looking towards an 03' Cobra. Not knowing the values of these cars in today's market any help from current owners would be helpful.

Here is a link to the Cobra I'm interested, I would appreciate info on what you folks feel it is worth. It is a second owner, and is mint.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Great, that is very impressive. We had nothing like that on the Saleen site.

Thanks so much!!!

I'm not really a fan either, I actually hate the wheels, but the car is only 30 miles away from me. I'll have to wait and see. $25,000 can go along way's in today's market, so I'm not going to be in a hurry.

Yeh, dont even worry about the wheels bro. You'll prolly end up on american muscle anyways getting some nice replicas =).

Also i would check auto trader, and put in up to 200 miles away to find a nice one for the right price.

Its worth it i think especially when it comes to a car.

i never really have been a fan of the 10th interriors i always liked the grey and black but to each his own, other then that seems like a good price but i have had 1 vert mustang and i think im going to stay away from the verts...a mostly stock cobra needs a roll cage to run at the track 13.5's in a 1/4 mile and u need a roll cage but if your not looking for that then i wouldnt worry about that either. either way looks like a good price solid car low miles.

Thanks again all. I'm looking more at this car, currently I'm alittle concerned about this "Ticking clinder Head" issue I'm starting to read about. I haven't listened to the car run yet, but I told the owner he would have to get a Ford Dealer to inspect and put in writing that everything is ok.

I really don't know what else I could do on this issue.

Regards,
Jeff

PRICING IS ABOUT RIGHT FOR A LOW MILEAGE CONVERTIBLE. IN REFERENCE TO THE HEAD TICKING, I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IT WHEN I BOUGHT MINE AS WELL. AFTER DOING A LOT RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT IS USUALLY COMES OUT IN VERY LOW MILEAGE SO IF IT DOESN'T HAVE IT NOW IT MOST LIKELY WON'T GET IT. JUST MY TWO CENTS.
