    Found a Cobra on Autotrader

    Yeah this guy is impossible to get ahold of. Maybe he already sold it. I've been trying for a while now (ever since I made this thread).

    Found a Cobra on Autotrader

    Whew haha. It's a V. I really wanted to like this car so that's good news... haha. I wonder why the GT decklid then. I don't know why I didn't notice that right away. I guess that's another question for him.

    Thanks for the heads up... I almost wasted some time there... Sixth digit is a "4".

    Found a Cobra on Autotrader

    Sorry about the limited info, I got in a bit of a hurry, lol. One thing I'm a LITTLE bit concerned about is a line on the ad that says "new engine, tranny, rear end, and clutch". Something happened to it, it sounds like... I'm going to find out more but until then that's all I'm workin on...

    Found a Cobra on Autotrader

    It looks really nice, IMO, but was looking for some advice on what to look for. I never have owned a Mustang before so I don't know all that much about them. I was wondering about the reliability on these cars. I heard something about the secondary runners getting gunked up or something...

    Steeda Underdrive pulley issues...

    Yep, underdrive pulleys only slow down the accessories, so that explains why hitting the gas brings the lights back up. The rpms raise up, and the accessories are also sped up. Also, the brakes are probably draining the power enough to dim the lights, so when you let up, the lights are brought...

    tell me my options

    Oh I see. I wish there was a kind that lit up just the numbers, like OEM-ish. Then I'd be in love with them. I don't know why but I don't like the indiglo look.

    How do the Lunar ones light up at night? I never saw a night shot of them before.

    Looking at a Cobra

    Yeah I think I'm going to pass. He said he'd come down to 10.5, but it looks like the car was kinda half-assed. There's an aluminum pedal on the clutch, but not the others, and the paint looks like it was never waxed, in addition to the peeling. It's really dull looking. And the fact that...

    Looking at a Cobra

    Okay. I didn't look at the car yet, but I got some more info. It has a lot of miles. 90K in fact... The clearcoat is peeling on the driver's side door, and that's a little bad too. Because of those two, I'm starting to lean away from it, but here's the price just for ****s and giggles. I...

    Looking at a Cobra

    I was looking at Mustangs for a while now, but kind of disregarded Cobras as being too high-cost and too expensive to maintain. At any rate, I found a red one that appears to be in good shape, not sure of the mileage yet. He's asking $12,000 for it, so I'm sure it's fairly high. Would a...

    Buying a Mustang

    Are they all instantly bad cars above 60K miles? I'm just wondering, since I've seen some in pretty great condition at like 130K miles, which is about as long as I'd want to keep a car anyways. Anyways I was just thinking it looked like a nice car, and 80K didn't seem to unreasonable to me...

    Buying a Mustang

    Now here's a car... http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=208623456 I just spoke on the phone with the dealer offering it, it has a Mach 1000 system, and is in pretty good shape (I looked on their website, it has a bunch of pics of the car, it's in pretty good shape. He said he's...

    Buying a Mustang

    Yeah I hear you on the ridiculous prices. I found an AMAZING GT (a 2002 I think) with about 30K miles on it. It was in Sonic Blue. He wanted $20K for it :(

    Buying a Mustang

    Well I have a Ranger right now, it gets a steady 20mpg out of that little 3.0, are we talking better or worse than that? I could handle a little bit worse mileage but don't want a gas-hog, lol. I hears 24 or so but I don't know what kind of mileage that is. I don't drive toooooo hard.

    Buying a Mustang

    I think I'll try to sell the woman on the '04. She's concerned that a Mustang (well, any used car, not to mention a sports car... not to mention a V8...) will be super unreliable, will have horrible gas mileage, will eat up all my money, blah blah blah. I think she's wrong, but I'm not sure...
