03/04 cobra owners

[Saleen781]

My 08 C6 is getting 23 all around. I got 27 on a round trip from Midlothian to Waco.

with your fucking lead foot? i don't buy it Jerm....

I'm not surprised the value of a car that had a short production run is increasing. It's still a very attractive car that can still hold its own vs new(er) cars in a straight line.

Plus I don't think a 11-12 GT can make 550 rwhp with bolt-ons and swaping a pulley under the hood. I love the new GT btw and plan to buy one in a couple of years.

Same thing is happening with the 99-04 Lightning

Yeah, it's still a lot of car with tons of potential for the money. I still think they look badass even for being 10 years old.

It's hard to find one under 20K in decent condition now. 5 years ago they were in the 11-15k price range, but recently it has skyrocketed for no reason...
I think once used 5.0s start flooding the market it will be the end of the 03/04 cobra obsession that causes them to cost a ridiculous amount

What's interesting, it seems like KBB has them right around the 20K range as well @ 25K mileage.

In 2007 I wasn't seeing any 03/04 cobras for 11k.

Grown men are in here talking kid, get your punk ass out of here!

No shit, they have never been under 20k. As a matter of fact right before I bought my 2005 GT, I was looking very hard and they were 25k and up, I saw one with a ton of bolt-ons for 35k. Hell even four years later when I bought my 2009 GT I looked and they were still over 25k-30k. Mannheim auctions are still bringing 16k-18k.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

I saw at least 2-3 go for that. One was a rebuilt, one was a 10th anniversary. A lot of others went for 15-13k. In fact, a year or two ago a dealership below Love Field airport got a trade in 04 cobra w/ 55k on it and sold it for 8,500.
We couldn't get there in time for it.

$8500 for a 55k mile 04 Cobra? Bullshit.

I thought it was too. He appraised it as an 04 GT (I guess?). It sold in less than 1 hour.

I thought I told you to GTFO?

This thread needs less pontification, and more Cobra porn. I'll begin:

[crapstang]

I thought I told you to GTFO?

And I didn't. Whoa, surprise!

[WOMACK03]

If you don't think my car is worth 23k, you are lying to yourself.

The amount of personal satisfaction it brings me, every time I turn the key on, would offset any monetary discrepancies of the price of the vehicle.

Has anyone on this board, who has owned a 03-04 Cobra, not been satisfied with their purchase?

[Chas_svo]

You can bicker all you want. If even one person is willing to pay $25k, then the car is "worth" it.

They are good cars and "can" bring top dollar. One of the most valid points is that very nice, low mileage cars bring money, but it seems most people think their "junk" is that nice. It seldom is.

My 2 cents, and it doesn't buy anybody anything, but its correct.
