Default What should I pay for this '96 Cobra Vert, one owner w/only 25k miles

And yes the odometer is working. This is the only picture I have now, is it worth $8900? Very clean inside and out, top is good, leather is nice, runs great, clean carfax showing no accidents and one owner.

Well, first thing I would do is make sure the paint isn't a different color under that bra thing. Laser Red is bad about fading, and it would suck to have an unintentionally two toned car. If its in really good shape with no issues, its probably worth $8900. I paid $7000 for mine and it ended up needing more than I originally thought, plus it had 93,000 on the odometer. I got a good deal, it has a brand new top and a few worthy mods, but was very well kept up except for the tires...

Like tyler said, that bra has most likely done a major blow to the paint so look at the cost of a new paintjob on top of any other problems, Have you already gone and looked at the car in-person or are you getting it off an ad?

Default buy it!

As long as it's legit, why not? I paid 10k 2 yrs ago for a 96 Cobra vert with 15,900k, maybe a little high but it's paid off now and no regrets. Of course, when u add in the Vortech, headers, wheels, tires, lowering, etc. etc. it adds up, but thats the fun of it, especially with a bone stock car like mine (or yours, potentially).

I will be personally inspecting the car tomorrow or Monday. Everything now is just what I've been told by the seller and based on the Carfax.

And yes the bra does worry me.
