Dude if you dont take it i will! that car is a money maker at 10k!!! Like others stated buy it, fix it looks like 1k in damage and then turn around and sell for 15-16k or so

 

[Taylors_Cobra]

thatll work

monday will hopefully bring good news abotu what we will be able to do

 

[Jroc]

Hell yeah jump on that! You don't have to drive it, which means you don't have to insure it.

Buy it, fix it, sell it, make a nice profit.

i am 20 and my insurance is only $200 a month with my 03 cobra and 92 protege but i have good driving deffensive driving and good student discounts

 

[mean03]

I think there are alot of people that would love to jump on that deal. Me being one of them. Do what you can do to get a hold of that thing for that price!!

 

[Taylors_Cobra]

if i take a defensive driveing course...will that help?

how much is that?

 

[blackvenom77]

Looks like the ol' girl has been through Hell. For just 10K I'd buy it and fix it for a nice profit. :thumbsup:

 

[TwinTurbo4vGT]

why sell it? i dont see why your going to buy a cobra to fix it then sell it. I would keep it and enjoy it.

 

[mustang_guy]

if the milage was lower Id go for it but if your gonna spend 10gs on a beat up cobra then another 2 Gs or so at the bodyshop to fill your quarter fender with cheese Id say spend a little more and get yourself a clean one.
If he would sell it to you for the same price but with the damaged fixed it be a good deal IMO

 

[03Snake04]

how was the motor and drivetrain kept up? for 10k is isnt a bad deal at all... BUT, im curious on how he kept it up... it is very dirty looking... has it been sitting around?

he dosent hot rod it like he does his AWD talon
and its very clean under the hood

sitting...i guess it has but only for like a week at a time when he leaves, but his wife likes to drive it and shes scaired of the power and tq it has(i work with her)

You're young and obviously the insurance is going to kill you. Don't buy a car and drive it "without" insurance please. Best thing to do is just pass. Be a smart decision.


You said above you're high risk for insurance. They might not even quote or cover you with that car.
