Should I buy it???

[StoplightWarrior]

03 Cobra, black, 36k miles. Steeda intake, shifter, o/r Hpipe, magnapack catback. Never pullied or tuned. No head tick. Test drove it today. Interior is flawless. Exterior has a very minor door ding and one minor rock chip. Couple minor surface scratches. Nothing major. Clean Carfax. Guy wants $22k

I just wasn't wowwed by it, but I feel like I may be passing up a great deal. Thoughts??? :bash:

sounds like it is ready for a new owner, pulley, and tune! it does sounds pretty good. not to talk you out of it but if you dont feel it, dont buy it just because you can. you want to love it, and feel that special vibe a man has with his car. there are plenty out there to choose from! take it for what its worth im talking with experience from irrational car purchases in the past..negative equity sucks...good luck in the hunt!

Sounds like a good deal but if you didn't get "that feeling" from the car, find one that does it for you. I knew as soon as I saw my car that it was for me.

Yea, I agree...I felt that way about my 2000 GT, my 93 Supra, and my 99 c5 They just felt right, and I knew I had to have them.

I really, really want a white c6 coupe, but new, the lowest I've seen is $45k. This is literally half that price. With the economy tanking...damn, I'm just trying to talk myself into wanting this cobra, but I don't.

I've seen that car on craigslist for several months. He recently dropped his asking to 22k. You might want to try and bargain with the guy to see if he'll come down even more. At 22k, you might not want it. But at 20k.....

Price isn't too bad. What was his original price?

Read this info. It might help. http://stangshiftergaskets.com/2003_2004faqs.htm#_Toc35092330

Sounds good man!

Can you buy it outright? Or do have you to finance? If you have the $ and not have any payment I'd have it checked out ,wave 20k at him and use the 2k for mods....................if it feels right.

22K isn't to bad but you should be able to get it for less... I got mine for about what he is asking and it had over 10K less miles.. Also never pullied and only mods were intake/CB/short shifter...

Door ding? So he was too lazy to park it in the BFE area of the parking lots? What else was he too lazy to do? Hmmm....

 

[StoplightWarrior]

thanks for the advice, guys. I think I'm gonna wait on this one.

If I remember right, it started at $27k. However, it was at $25k for a long time.

That's relatively low mileage for an 03; $22K seems reasonable.
