Your right about the pictures. The wheel doesnt look right and its not turned. There seems to be a buckle under the passenger side scoop and drivers side seat has a tear in it. It is never fun fixing someone elses damage. Look at the salvage cobra sonic blue on ebay. That is a good one.

This is the wrong site to try and get by people. They will pick you apart. 13000 is still cheap.

I cannot believe they buthchered that cobra. I've been in the collision industry for a long time and hate to see cars fixed like that. I would not pay nearly that buy it now price.

Ya i know. Sorry to be off the topic but i sold my 03 salvage title with a whipple little over a year ago for 23,500. 13k is a good deal but needs more detail about the flaws

 

[nvincbl]

Is this car still available?

 

[KWIK WS6]

Do all the panels line up?

 

[goat-ee]

Well it WAS on eBay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280267892857 . It looks like he ended early for some reason?

 

[lxtasy93]

I don't see how anybody could even want this car looking at the inner fenders. Clearly the car was hammered hard in the front, regardless of what the OP says. It was totalled for a reason.

 

[zankylen]

dont think it is or sale, i talked this guy and he said that someone from chi was coming to pick it up and that he would call me if it fell through, he never called so I guess it is gone.

 

[neednmore2]

i bought the car..am from st.louis and was puchasing it wen you called him...i relize there are a few things here and there but how picky can you be for 13...car made it back to st.louis so id say its a fairly good deal so far..allignment is perfect..the passenger wheel is not sitting funny and the hood is about a quarter inch off on the passenger side..figured i would post something because i would have liked to have known how it turned out if i would have saw it and not bought it...guy does this for a living and had many crashed 350z and vettes ready to be repaired...

 

[zankylen]

[neednmore2]

He is sketchy.. He sold a 03 cobra to a guy named zach(neednmore2) on here and about a month or two after buying it he posted it for sale on here and I called this guy and asked him if there was any problem before he sold it to zach and be said there wasn't and it ended up having a certificate of destruction title or something like that and this guy didn't do a good job putting the car back together. The zach guy sold it to another member on here.

Edit;on my iPhone.

 

[CobraMike33]

That is what I was thinking...probably come back as a COD in FL. The guy won't forward me before fix pictures...which would be required in FL to get a rebuilt title in FL. Sounds toooooo shady to me.

 

[PipeHitter]

Yeah, you need to be very careful with this. As Budweiser mentioned, there has already been two members on this board that has experienced this nightmare.

The big kicker here, is that the seller is offering a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE. This is NOT the same thing as a salvage title. Basically, he has purchased the car from the insurance company and was handed the certificate.* At this point, in order for the car to LEGALLY be driven, it must be repaired and INSPECTED. Most states will require before pictures, and documentation regarding parts used. After the vehicle passes inspection, the awarding state will issue a salvage title, which then will allow the owner to register the car a his local DMV.

The seller is avoiding paying taxes on the car, paying inspection fees, and avoiding a possible rejection.

Supposedly there are some lax states on this procedure (I couldnt find one), and then there are some hardcore states. For instance, in my great state of TN, the DMV will not issue a salvage title unless the vehicle has already passed inspection from the state that issued the salvage certificate.
Any buyer who chooses this route needs to be sure his state will allow for a local inspection, and not need all the required docs. I've contacted this seller before on a potential purchase and he was not willing to provide any pics/docs. You will be on your own.


*When a vehicle is deemed totalled by the insurance company, the title is to be released to the state for destruction and a salvage certificate will be returned. You can not register a certificate, it must be converted to a salvage title.

 

[boostedpimp]

wow no wonder why it's so cheap

 

[Terminated_cobra_03]

Hello, time to bump an old thread. I now own the car. It was owned by a friend. I dragged it back to Indiana. I can confirm the car was fixed badly. It needs at least 7K in framework. I am planning on rebuilding it over time. I can confirm by the VIN this is the car. 1FAFP48Y43F309694
I am keeping records so in the future, I can get a rebuilt or salvage title.

 

[CobraBob]

I hope you got it really cheap because that's going to take a lot of work/money to get it back to a condition where it can be titled, based on the history in this thread. You seem to know not only the history of this car but what it's going to take to "fix" it. I do wish you well with the work and hope you don't encounter more headaches than you expect.
