03 Cobra convertible - $7700

[PBLA]

Saw an ad for this on CL, figured it was a scam, but it included phone numbers which scams rarely do. I actually called the guy last night with a few questions and considered making the drive (3 hours!), but I see it's been removed this morning. It was in the Houston, TX section. I wonder if someone flagged it to keep others from seeing it???

Call the guy back and ask for vin.

If its legit its not clean title....

 

[PBLA]

He admitted it had salvage title due to damage at rear quarter panel. Most scams are perfect cars.

Damn, thought it was going to be a scammer I could have fun with.

Hope its legit though for your sake now.

are you gonna buy it?

was it a vert or coupe?

what color?

how many miles?

i dont see why people are afraid of salvaged title cars :shrug:

if it was in a bad wreck it had to be inspected by D.O.T to become approved for street use again.....

1) Resale value. Possible issues down the road, etc.

2) Inability to get a loan if necessary (meaning itll always be a cash purchase which means your possible selling base is slim to nothing)

3) Even if inspected could still have long-term underlying issues.


Id get a salvage titled 03/04 Cobra, but it would only be if i wanted to strip the shit out of a car and turn it into a real weekend racer.

Sweet. So whats the point of the thread?

Call him and see why the ad's gone :shrug:

someone couldve flagged it thinking it was BS as well.

sonic blue vert, w/ 90k miles, too suspicious to make such a long drive, unless someone is in the Houston area with time to kill!

How much really is a salvage title 03 with 90,000 miles worth? Doesn't seem that under priced to me.....
