The current market..
- Thread starter Jfoster
- Start date
Bought mine this past June with 1500 miles on it for 30 and would not consider taking less for that now or the near future. Now has 3400 miles on it. I'm planning on putting no more than 2000 miles on it a year from here on out. 04 redfire convert. and loving it!!!!
Nobody is getting mine within the next couple of years for less than $25k. I haven't even reached the 30k mile mark yet, and it's completely stock save for a Magnaflow catback. I know the car, and its maintenance history.
Finally...why in the flock would ANYBODY sell a car for less than dealer trade-in? That's absurd...that would be like GIVING money away.

Interesting thoughts guys.....I was actually in thinking about a 99/01 Cobra because they can be had so cheap (relatively) but I know the Term is a much better performer all around right out of the box. I know I wouldn't be happy just with minimal mods on the 99/01. Minimal mods on the Term can get me 450+ rwhp and I think I could be very happy with that for a long time. I'm glad to see the price is coming down but it does say something that prices aren't falling as most would expect. Terms do seem to hold their value well but I agree with the poster that said the market is currently being determined by Sellers not buyers.

uh...because sometimes they have to get rid of the car fast and don't have time to sit on it and wait for someone to come along and pay the price they want??
you see it on here all the time - divorce, buying a house, changing jobs, moving, etc.
What is dealer trade in btw?

shaaaawing! somebody stole this thing. 23k for a cobra under 12k miles? sounds good to me.

Well, that's their problem, and it's too bad. For the other 99% of the population, there's no reason to let a car sell for less than trade.
The only way to find out what your dealer would give you for your car, is to visit your dealer and ask "uh...what would you give me for this".

I can guarantee that the reason why that one sold for less is because it has been pullied. The smoke screen that they are throwing up about it having a warranty...is null and void. These cars are legend for voided warranty for much smaller things...rear tire wear greater than the front being one. If that car winds up with a motor problem and comes in on a rollback, the car will have its warranty work denied. For dozens and dozens of stories about where this has happened, check the archives through search.
Finally there is no guarantee of a good tune, or that it has one at all. No tune + pulley = BOOM.
That car sold for what it was worth.
I know i got mine with 24k on the clock for 24,5 with a pulley and catback and it's fine...
I agree with Joe.. a lot of these cars that are going really cheap - nobody here knows the story on... Are they Katrina Cobras? or are they rebuilt ones? You never really know. I know most of the Cobras here in Fla aren't going very cheap. They're still pretty expensive. Hey, but if you guys can get a great deal, then more power to you.. just good luck.

Best deal in town if you don't care about miles

I heard about that car....The guy drives an insane amount of HIway miles for work. He goes through a new car ever 3 years. Someone on here was thinking of buying it. It was a friend of his dad or something.

Those prices seem quite high. I am having trouble getting someone to just commit $22k for mine. The mystichrome is the only on worth paying more than that for.
Also, keep in mind, those cars may be stock, but you don't know for sure. Many cars are returned to stock when traded in, and the mod parts are sold off.

That's the average price, prices on message boards are just wildly inflated. The (real world prices) of these cars have not changed. The only difference is members of tuner boards are slowing starting to realize that highly moded cars do not demand laughable selling price.
