Just bought an 04 Cobra only 20,500 miles. How'd I do?
I currently have an 08 gt with bolt ons and an 08 V6 vert stock. Probably gonna sell the vert. I paid $25,990 for the Cobra. I've loved this car for some time now and couldn't believe I found one with such low mileage. What say you gentleman? Did I over pay? I had to ship it in from up north so I don't have pics yet but will in 2 weeks. Just added pics on page 2. Car has bug guts on it because I couldn't stop driving last night ha.

Rest assured, someone will say "*I* never would've paid that much"...
But I will say, I paid about the same amount for about the same miles on mine almost 2 years ago, at a dealer. Did you also buy from a dealer? I didn't sweat the price then, and 2 years later I still love the car. I don't know enough about car price dynamics in general and for this car in specific to say, but it seems that 2 years later it might've gone for less. But who cares...? You've already bought it, and you're gonna love it. You're just opening yourself up to a bunch of naysaying negative nellies needlessly now
I say congrats on the purchase!

Nice car and congrats, I guess it wasn't to bad of a deal since of low mileage but from my viewpoint personally I would never pay that much for a late model car just because I know I can build something nasty with 25k

Glad you found what you wanted! Makes me think of when I found mine! And when you find what you want, you will pay what it's worth to you (not what it's worth to someone else)! Congratulations! Looking forward to the pics too!
