Would you buy a Saleen Cobra?

[tjtucker]

I'm looking to get a car.

I found a 2004 Saleen Cobra with 15,000 miles. It's a true Saleen Cobra one of 17 built (Per what I read on the forums) It a Black on Black coupe 1 of 9.. Nice shape and not modded. Is it worth 24,500.00?

Anyone know what all Saleen did beside the wheels, body kit and interior bits.

Thanks
TJ

I see your from Dallas. Is it a local dealer or private party? There are a couple places around here that put "fo-bras" up for sale fairly often.

if that info is true, imo YES

^^As stated above...if the info is all true, that would be an EXCELLENT deal on the car.

 

[boosted2000si]

Yeah post some more info on it.

that's cheap for an 04' saleen cobra..i would have bought it in a heart beat if I hadn't bought my current cobra in January..there's a guy selling one on performance auto sport for $39,000.00 and it is also black and completely stock.

this might give you the background on the saleen - cobra conversions...seems there were 2 , like a lot of saleens bodykit, wheels (which are really nice) and interior dress up...in the top conversion they took the cobra up to about 445hp, so trally you are going to have to identify exactly what you are buying: get the VIN and phone saleen directly..........

seal the deal before someone else does

fock yes

 

[snakecharmer]

24,500 for that car is a bargain. Where is this car located? If it is here in NC, I've seen it and it is immaculate.

 

[pony23]

Hell yeah, I would buy that car.

 

[CobraBob]

That is a steal if it is everything advertised. Wow!

 

[Juruense]

Be sure to keep us updated on this. If the car is not as advertised the Mustang community needs to know.

At that price either the owner doesn't know what he has or it is a fake (slim chance you're getting a legit car for an incredible price). Get the bumper number and last four of the VIN and call it in to Saleen or go to one of the Saleen forums and have someone cross-reference. The Saleen community is fairly small and a tight knit group. With the rarer cars it seems like everyone knows the history...it helped me when I was in the market for a '99 S351. I would post the bumper number and last four VIN and get a flood of PM's telling me the history and what to watch out for.

There were more Saleen Cobras in 2004 than 2003. In 2004 there were only 3 black coupes produced IIRC. I hope it is legit and you get an awesome car at an incredible price...just do your research so you don't get screwed.

+1 very good information

3 ways of identification.

1. In front of the shifter

2. Front bumper will have the number of the car.

3. Inside the engine bay on the firewall.

If it has all 3 there's about a 99% chance it's real. Although you can easily call Saleen and double check the vin#. I doubt it is though but yes I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

if it is what you say it is it's worth every penny; there were not many of those worked over by saleen

hell yes

+65000! As everyone else said, if its real is a hell of a deal!

My money's on it being a clone. My bumper number is #098. Another member on here (twinvipers) has #196. The other one, of the three, is #349 and was for sale at Black's last year. IIRC it was modded to hell and had more miles than the one you found. Good luck and keep us posted.
