My brother is looking at a 98 Cobra, just over 40K on the clock they are asking 11K. Sound like a good price?

Sounds almost TOO good! :D ;-) I would have it checked over very well...leak down check, compression check, etc... If good go for it! :D OH YA check to see if it has been in any major accidents! :D

That's way under blue book and what most go for. I bought mine with 47K on it, clean as a whistle for 17K last summer. I know I got hosed a little, but at the time they were going for 14-18K for a clean one with that little miles.
Go over it with a fine-toothed comb, and definately check for accident or flood damage...

Ran the VIN...it's a fake...comes back as a GT. I knew it was a soon as I saw it. Went up to look at it after I posted this, and I saw it had black face gauges, cloth interior etc.

Good for you! It pays to have someone else with you when you buy any car, especially these. One less person dupped by a hustler looking for quick cash.

That guy selling it should be beaten with a rubber hose...:kaboom:
