So a few days ago S&B discovered that my car was up on ebay, so he posted the link and a few members responded in the thread. One member decided he was going to PM me pics of three cars he wanted to trade me, but I could only pick two of them for the trade. I informed him what MY BOTTOM LINE was. I don't care what you think it's worth, or what your friend bought a real 03/04 Cobra for a few days ago (how convenient). I'm telling you WHAT I WANT FOR IT. It'll sit and rot if I don't get what I want for it, period.
The cars up for trade are nowhere near equalling my bottom line for the 1999 GT with mods listed in my sig. He sent me a link to a ragged out 7up convertible with no paint left on it and a FILTHY interior, a notch worth maybe $4k on a good day. Keep in mind, both cars were sitting on dirty turbines in the pics. The member then proceeded to get mad and nasty when I informed him that I would need some cash on top of a trade, as a straight across trade would just not be feasible for the amount of money a swapped car like mine cost to build. Was I not polite enough? See for yourself. Enjoy.

***** said:HAHAHA that was three years ago, and was a bad distributor. Anyway, I'd rather have a 03 Cobra for that price, cause you aren't going to get that kind of money out of it. Other people can get a 03/04 Cobra for that price.The fact the drivetrain only has 100,000 miles on was my main concern anyway. Since the car didnt have A/C I can't swing $5,000. I can swing $2,000. No way is anyone going to get off their high horse and pay that kind of money for you car. No wonder the Lightning guy flaked, I do know him personally. Good luck.1991notchbackLX said:***** said:The primed notch has a rebuilt bottom end, less than 5,000 miles and a hurst slap shifter. I am still thinking of things. This Notch is my step brothers so I don't know everything about it, I know most things.1991notchbackLX said:***** said:1991notchbackLX said:Yeah, no a/c and no power steering, this car is all business. It does have heat and an awesome Mach 460 stereo system with 6 CD changer though. The dude with the lightning flaked out on me. Get me some pics and mod lists and we'll go from there.***** said:I'll try to get you some photos. I have to talk it over and think about it. But I did notice, no A/C and no power steering. Are you still thinking about trading with guy with the Lightning in the Fort Myers Florida area? My only concern is getting both cars to you.
This link works. Sorry.

Hey, I took a look at the pics but I only saw one notch. Do you have any pics of the other one? What are the mods done to each? To be honest with you, the 7up car is not something I'd be interested in, it's just too rough. Do you have any cash to put on top of the trade? Unless each notch is worth $7500, or some combination equalling $15k, I'll need some cash too. Let me know. Thanks.

I'd probably need like at least $5k on top of the two notches. In reality, those two vehicles don't equal my bottom line of $15,000. I don't mean to bash your cars, because they're nice, so please don't take it the wrong way. It hurts the deal that you just posted a thread about having to tow one notch 5 times this year and want to sell it because it's too much of a headache. My car is turnkey and dead reliable. The drivetrain alone in this car cost $9,000 and only has 18k miles on it. This is easily a $25k swap I have sitting in my driveway. All in all I appreciate the interest, but unless there's cash in the deal I dont think I can take that big of a hit on a straight across trade. Thanks for the interest. Take care.
