So I have a great deal on a new 2019 Bullitt lined up. The car has all options but the Recaros (not a high priority option for me) and I can get it for 10K under MSRP. The catch is that I will have to trade in my Cobra. Of course I'm not getting top dollar on the trade in, but they did give me the number in my head that I could live with.
The Cobra is a black 03 Anniversary convertible. It has 37000 miles and change. It is in great shape and has been a stock pulley car its whole life so far as I know (I'm second owner).
After getting the car out from storage and getting it road ready I'm starting to have some feels about letting it go. The flip side of that being that I almost never drive it (maybe 1000 miles a year), and I have found that verts aren't all they're cracked up to be (always too cold or too hot out). On top of that it is approaching 20 years old and while it has been rock solid for me, I am concerned about increasing maintenance needs and scarcer parts in years to come. That being said I love the car, and the thought of letting it go is tough.
So what does SVT Performance think? Keep the Cobra or move on to something new?
