I believe you answered your own question. This >
The black ones racked up pebble chips easier than the other two. The reds faded on the bumpers. The factory paint wasnt that great on any of the bumper covers. I had a buddy whos teal one flaked chips off the front bumper cover and he had to repaint it. Granted this is all caused by high mileage, but the point is that there are reasons to repaint a car other than being involved in a collision or theft.
I concur...my black cobra only has 26000 on the odometer, but the paint looks like crap ...and yeah, it's all my fault for not taking care of it...sue me
point is, my car needs a repaint, and if that "devalues" the car, so be it...at least it'll look 100% better, and that's all that counts to me :rockon:
just make sure they mask off the VIN tags and it shouldnt be too big of a deal ;-)
oh yeah, know all about that :beer:
Read his reply - "Yes, it was repainted, not because it needed it." If it has pebble chips, faded bumpers or flaking bumper paint then maybe it needed a repaint. He said it did not need to be repainted, implying before it was repainted, it had good paint.
Yep still love it, Every where I go with it, someone comments on how nice it is or how amazing the original paint is.
True enough. I've got a red car with 27K that has been garaged its whole life, and the bumper is starting to fade. Would love to know if there is any way to mitigate the fading without a repaint.
Also, as to the comments on the sagging door pockets, I don't know of any of these cars that DON'T have them.
post in the show and shine saloon someone will know how to bring the back bumper back for you
Okay guys, may be not perfect! But i did see the car before my friend painted it and the paint was very nice, he paid 6K for this black paint job. I will put this car up against any 93 Cobra on this sight. Pictures does this car no justice. Maybe I'll tell him he need to come around 13K to make a sell.
I don't think anyone's knocking the car and maybe could have been a little more subtle about the price.
But really, the market sucks for these cars right now. A bunch of us keep pretty close tabs on what they are selling for and the fact is you can buy that same color/combo car for $13-14k with around 30k on the odometer. There's one on Ebay for the second time around I believe for $14.5k, Vortech, and 29,000 miles. You can barely give these cars away.

Do you guys believe that this is the low point for the 93 Cobra market?
I agree with this guy.* Car is not a 10/10, I can find defects in cars that have zero miles and are on the showroom floor.* Still a nice car that your buddy has for sale.
My 2 cents is absolutely.
There is a point at which most guys would put a car in storage before taking an ass-beating to sell. Of cousre there many be a small percentage that may be forced to due to divorce, death, or other circumstances but I don't see much of that. I think for the most part guys are looking to move into something newer.
I've seen some fantastic deals IMO in the last 6 months or so. Not that long ago $15k got you a mostly stock car with 50,000 miles on it. Now I'm seeing 30,000 miles cars going for $13-15...........and they still can't move them.
The 28k mile Vortech car on ebay has been repainted and a front clip put on it. He acted really shady about if it had vin #'s on the panels or not.
None of the map pockets on mine sag. They are all straight as an arrow. never been a thing in them tho.
I really doubt you wanna go there. my car is a 100K mile plus car and the FACTORY paint is near perfection sure i can find a flaw but it is few and far between. but dont make big claims and try to knock everyone else. these guys here are just being honest brutally honest but honest nonthe less... take their words for it.
I've got a 36k Teal and its only bad point is front and hood top rock chips.
4 years ago I paid 16k for it and have sadly watched the value slipping
away. I have, however, make up my mind to never repaint it, sell it at a loss
or never stop enjoying it. There are far less than 4993 93 Cobras left,
even fewer low miled, 99% stock examples!

I'm seeing the evidence at my local Mustang club meetings/activities. Fewer
and fewer Foxes show up, MUCH less of the older originals, and the new
"Mustangs" are taking over. And most of the new buyers are of the approaching
retirement, of which I am a part, and beyond "oldsters." Must be a "new childhood"
movement!!!! :shrug: My 93 Cobra is the last model of which I have any liking:
the newer they get, the farther off my liking chart they go. Oh well....
I think you're right about the values coming back, it will take a little more time, tho.
