Can't believe I have never ran into this car. Love that color, damn! GLWS

If you get anywhere near this asking price I will fall over dead of a heart attack! Nice car but with those miles it's about $8-10k too much. That asking price is for a sub 20k mile car IMHO. Just basing this on all of the shopping I have been doing and what I am about to buy. GLWS!

Nice car brother. Love that mineral gray. Have any interior pics?

Why do you even bother commenting that? The seller has the right to price it. If you can tell, the car has A LOT of money in to it.

And secondly why would you complain? If it sells for this price, that means mine, yours and every body else’s on this forum value is going UP! I don’t know about you, but I’m cool with making money

SKMCOBRA,
Thanks for the input. Honestly I am finding it difficult to evaluate the current market price of 03/04s. Mostly I have found low mileage originals going for 35K+ or extremely modified high mile cars for sub 30. Clearly the devil is the in the details of the modifications. Also I made the mistake of keeping all of the receipts and knowing how much I sunk into it over the years. While I don't expect to get it back dollar for dollar I am trying to minimize my loss. Also despite having 38k miles on the car, it has less than 5k miles on the entire drivetrain.

yfz162 & JaCobro,

Thanks for the kind words, and here are some interior shots

NICE car, GLWS!

LoL. I wouldn't sell mine for 40k if you threw the money at me, and mine has 33k miles.

And the car your looking at has a stock blower. Some will pay more for a properly modded cobra.

Thanks for your expertise!

Glws op!

Nice car just figured I’d mention you are about 2.5 hrs from St. Louis Missouri so don’t forget about that market also if you plan on posting it for sale anywhere other than Chicago

Congrats on the sale!

Just wanted to say like others have stated, keep your opinions to yourself. If you have an issue with the price of a vehicle, make a separate thread and post something like, "I've seen some people asking 'X' amount of dollars for Terminators, I think it's too high, but what is your opinion on the issue?"

We were all taught in kindergarten, "If you have nothing good to say, then keep it to yourself." Either that or a variation of that, that's the basic idea.

If you don't mind could you post if you got asking price?
