    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    I'm not going to pay $16K for it. I don't even think I want it anymore, it just caught my eye because it had such low miles and it was local. I found a really clean looking black 91 LX 5.0L hatch with 36K miles with a few bolt ons down in AZ asking $7500 and I might go down there and scoop...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    Actually, they said nothing about the Teksid block or the handbuilt engine, I knew that already. I had my 5.0L when these 96's with the cammer engines came out and I've wanted one since then. It doesn't really matter though, because I'm not going to pay what they want for it. When I was...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    Yup, they were. They also share that distinction with some pretty exclusive company----AMG Mercedes Benzes, Corvette Z06s, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Ford GTs. It's also has a really nice Teksid engine block. Yeah, I'd like the car, but the stealership threatened to RAISE the price if the car...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    You don't feel $9K is a lot, considering we're talking about a $15K car? An extra $9K is is 60% more than $15K. To most people, $9K is a lot of money. Obviously I thought the price was suspect as well, why else would I have started this thread? I am trying to figure out what a fair...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    For me, $9K is a lot of money. If I had a choice between a mint 03/04 Cobra, or an equally mint 96-98 Cobra with $9K in the glovebox, I'd probably take the 96-98 and maybe get a really nice 91-93 5.0L, or a slightly used Yamaha R1, or a really nice winter beater with the extra money.

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    Why would you say that? Generally, I noticed that the cars in the south had higher mileages and there were more ratty examples, simply because you can drive them year round and there are more of them down there. The car has 25K miles on it, so I'd imagine it was stored winters. It also...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    I just did an autotrader search for 96-98 Mustang V8s with manual transmissions, less than 60K miles, throughout the whole country, and now I'm thinking that this car is not THAT overpriced. Compared to other Cobras of similar vintage, similar mileage, unmolested examples, the price doesn't...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    Thanks. I intend to use it as a daily driver. I kind of feel bad about that, since the previous owner obviously garaged it most of the time, but I don't drive that much. I take the train to work everyday, so it technically isn't driven daily. I put about 9000 miles a year on whatever...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    I figured it was overpriced, I just don't know by how much. If I wanted to make an offer for this car, what kind of price would I offer? I know I said I don't really like white, but I don't really like any of the colors available. Ideally, I'd like a silver or charcoal greay, but they...

    96 Cobra for $15.9K?

    Hello folks! I'm a former Mustang owner (91 LX 5.0L notch, see user name) and I am always looking to get a another one. I came across a white 96 Cobra with 25K miles at a dealership, and they are asking $15,900 for it, which is way over the blue book. I realize that these cars are unique...
