$16,000 1999 SVT Cobra yay/nay?

[SVTStang03]

There is a black, 1999 SVT Cobra for sale near me for $16,000 OBO. It has 38,900 miles on it and looks GREAT! However, they guy doesn't think the "FIX" was done... Am I getting into a can of worms with this car?

 

[Beau]

go for it. do the fix yourself

 

[SVTStang03]

Yeah, it's a good price...

 

[JonJon]

Won't Ford do the "fix" under warranty??

 

[SVTStang03]

I don't know anymore... I'll have to check.

 

[Beau]

but its a 99...so the warranty has run out hasn't it?

 

[SVTStang03]

Most likely, unless he had the extended one. I have to get more info tomorrow.

sounds about right..try to get him down more though..

 

[JonJon]

is that a warranty issue? that's a huge defect

 

[Beau]

after the warranty runs out, ford has no obligation to fix it.

hell yes it is. they should fix it regardless considering all that happened. but what is 1 guy against Ford Motor Company?

Check with SVT, they might have fixed it. If not, lower the price to $14. Or you can get the Diablo Tuner and add more timing and change the catbacks.

99 Cobra's had a problem and were below the advertised HP.

but still higher than the GT in horsepower and redline

 

[JonJon]

but still higher than the GT in horsepower and redline

But not the 320 advertised HP
Ford fixed the Cobra's under warranty if you mentioned it to them

Oh well I guess you learn something new everyday...what exactly did they do to fix it?

buy the cobra and get the fix. why keep the GT when you can get a Cobra?
