It says the car was a lemon law and issued a Lemon Title (Shows up as a Title Problem Salvage). It was probably due to the head tick and replacement more than once. It was in a minor side collision, but not the reason for any title problems.

then in 05' at 35,668 miles the car was bought back by ford because the car had gone in for service so many times for powertrain issues. carfaxx was not specific in why the car was bought back but I think its pretty clear as to why.
I also called up the previous owner (who belongs to svtp) and asked him about all the carfaxx statements he said the car ran fine for him and that any one with any doubt should pm him, his name on SVTP is crazydave01.

I dont think that the head tick would cause it to be a Lemon law. there is a TSB for that. the carfax shows a lot of electrical service done.
to the OP, I responded to your pm, and I would call your local dealership give them the vin and ask for a vehicle history respond for everything its had done under warranty and why it was lemon lawed
Oasis
I provided Nick with the Oasis report from Ford when he purchased it from me. It explains everything the car was serviced for. They were what I stated above. Im sure Nick still has a copy of that report I gave him and he can share all the info about the car.
The report showed the following:
Head tick
Clutch replacement
Drivers lumbar not functioning , multiple times
Driveability issues multiple times
Drivers side carpet hook torn
That is all I remember, I cant find the report I had.
Serious buyers will look at the link I posted above and check with the two previous owners before me and see what they thought of the car when they owned it. So of the 7 owners a serious buyer can now contact the last 4 owners. I think that would put anybodys mind to rest about the driveability and reliability of this Cobra.
If a person doesnt want to do the research then dont bother flaming the post with nonsense. The fact is if the car didnt have the lemon history it would be worth a few thousand more than the asking price. The car runs and drives flawlessly looks fantastic and at 15K it is priced low even for a branded title.

I am in school in Athens and the Oasis report is home in Columbus I will call home and see if I can get it faxed.
ttt
rear end noise- rebuild rear end
that plus abs coming on under normal breaking, throttle sticks, drivers lumbar broken about 6 times. drivers seat track loose, drivers seat belt will not retract,
tick noise was head tick- 4-05
after driven and fully warm wont restart- new throttel body
buyback was bacause of the drivers seat and noises from the drivetrain.
nov 22-05 was the buyback date
new owner- missippi
clutch grinds- replaced clutch assembly
left front window inop- replaced motor
new owner- wisconson
06S43 recall april 08
after that looks like it never saw the ford dealer again. looks like a overly anal 1st owner and the head tick were just enough to get ford to buy back it

Is your car still available? If so, do you have an email or number I can reach you at? I know I sent you a visitor message, but I'm new to the forum so I'm not really sure how everything works yet. I'm just trying to get a hold of you. You can email me if you'd like at [email protected]. Thanks, Mike.
