Would you buy?

[Waver]

So I have been kicking the idea around of selling/trading my car and getting a used 1999-04 cobra/saleen (with around 60,000+ miles). I have found three that I would be interested in for about the same price.

The first one is a 2003 Cobra Black on Black....Looks clean from the pictures, however it has over 100,000 miles:

Another is a 2002 Saleen s281 Supercharged in silver.....Same situation as the cobra:

and the third is a 2000 Saleen S281 speedster (non supercharged) in red....good mileage, good price, no supercharger:
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=301047325&dealer_id=1151027&car_year=2000&model=MUST&pager.offset=25&search_lang=en&start_year=1999&search_type=both&distance=75&rdm=1310245774001&marketZipError=false&advanced=y&sownerid=624335&lastBeginningStartYear=1981&end_year=2004&showZipError=y&engine=8+Cylinder&feature7=leather+seats&dma=MILWAUKEE&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&body_code=0&first_record=26&transmission=Manual&default_sort=priceDESC&address=53221&sort_type=priceDESC&make=FORD&num_records=25&seller_type=b&cardist=66&standard=false

Probably not going to do anything till the end of summer, however it wont cost me an arm or leg to own any of them after my trade....

Opinions? Ideas?

[88Nightmare]

are you going to pecker them up with stickers like you have your current car?

[Waver]

are you going to pecker them up with stickers like you have your current car?


Probably, since I have them on the current car for a charity event that helps out disabled veterans and the families of soldiers who dont come home from over seas wars....To me I think it is worth "peckering them up" for a few months to help out a worth while cause.

[xxtremeteam]

buy a new 2011 5.0


Or a blue 90 lx 5.0 I think I could find one

[GTSLOW]

I really like the first black one! But don't you work at a Ford dealer? A new 5.0 would be the shit!

Yeah, a 5.0 would be nice, and with my employee pricing and trade I would be financing high 20's, however if I am going to spend that much, I would rather get a used roush or a black on black shelby gt. I really like the 99-04 styling though, and I don't want to pay 900 a month between car payment and insurance.

[Waver]

the giant cardomain.com sticker too?
They are a title sponsor for the rally, that will come off before the rest of them. I have to have it on for the event.

[Yooformula]

so with your discounts, you wouldnt buy the NEW car for $20k but you would spend $15k on an 8 yr old car that will most likely need a very pricey rebuild in the foreseeable future?

[CATNHAT]

I like the silver saleen the best. Looks sweet! Mileage is a concern though. Then the Cobra, vert would be last. I just got rid of my vert and in my opinion I like the coupes better. But each his own.

I would wait until the fall Oct-Nov-Dec to pick one up. Prices really fall off for these types of cars at that time of year but you already know that.

Craigslist is a great way to find one of these. Last year I found 5 S197 Roush Stage 1's for under 20 grand with good mileage in Dallas, NewYork, arizona, Detroit, St Louis.

Here is one in Detroit now(high mileage) http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/ctd/2471431407.html You cant buy that though, one black and silver Roush here already:thumbsup

What is your budget?

[fivonut]

Or a black on black 00 GT (that's faster than your car)

[Waver]

so with your discounts, you wouldnt buy the NEW car for $20k but you would spend $15k on an 8 yr old car that will most likely need a very pricey rebuild in the foreseeable future? Well here is what I am looking at. To get a 5.0 New Mustang equipped the way I would want (nav, brembo brakes, 3.73's 6speed) I am looking at a 39800 sticker....after my special pricing, trade in (there is no rebates) I am looking at a payment of 550 per month for 60 months, and that is not including insurance. Take into account that I got the 04 a few years ago with 23k on it for a 4 year term of 380 per month (car had a sale price of 15k, keep in mind that Saleens and cobras with 23k on them of the same year, 04, are going for 21-25k)...I want to get the payment around the same with only my car as a trade in. That puts me into a higher mileage cobra, saleen, roush, or a mid mileage mach1 (with about 40k on it). Provided the car wasnt abused, and the service was kept up, the engines can go on for 200k+ miles (I doubt that I will have the factory style blower on for long. I see what you are saying, however I am rather partial to the same body style that I have, that and I cant justify spending more than 17k on a car that will be 8 years old, nor do I want to pay 500+ per month when there are other things that I am saving for as well. This will not be a daily driver like my gt is.

What is your budget? That was my general plan, buy it in the off season and dont be afraid to fly to some place for the right deal. As long as the payment will be 300-350 per month for 72 months max (will have to be very clean) and I can get 8-10k for my car (blue book value private party is 10500 I will be okay. If I were to sell it my self, I will set the price at 12,900 because everyone tries to talk you down. The lower the payment (I kind of like the option of being able to buy it outright or pay it off in a year, that is why I am looking at hte 14k cars.) the better.


Or a black on black 00 GT (that's faster than your car)
That has yet to be proven lol....I am making 4hp less than you on the dyno.....and I have the same gears as you do now.

[Want_Notch]

Why on earth would you get a 2V? Supercharged or not they are boat anchors.

[Josepy]

buy ryans cobra

[PureSound15]

Better off buying a car like mine!


... which I'd sell.

[PureSound15]

buy ryans cobra

Wow. Typed mine before I saw your post.

[Reverend Cooper]

no to the saleen,the fact the company is going down the toilet would be enough to stay away
and a 100k cobra,really? buy ryans

[GTSLOW]

I still say the black one off the list unless a new 5.0.

[BOSS LX]

There is no reason now to stay away from a Saleen in or out of warranty. With that being said, I wouldn't touch any of those cars with a 20' pole. If that is your price range, I would buy a 01-02 Lightning.

[Waver]

I have thought of asking ryan what he would sell his car for, however one huge thing holds me back every time.....and it is the same reason why I passed on trading my car even up plus some cash for another 99 cobra a year and a half ago.....I absolutly hate the tan interior. If I am going to sell/trade in my car in for another 99-04 mustang, I will get what I want like I did when I got the 04 (red was my third color choice). No offense ryan, I love your car, however I dont think I could live with the tan interior.

[Waver]

Please explain....A lightning would be nice, however I would get tired of the auto quick.

if there is nothing wrong with the saleen why not touch it with a 20 foot pole?

[Reverend Cooper]

Id stay away from the saleens period at this point untill all the dust settles,god only knows if the company will be around long nick. get the termi most in great shape low miles will be 20-25k

That is what it is looking like I am going to have to do.........that is if I want to get one from a dealership (which I would prefer so that way I can get some kind of warranty if it is from out of state) most I am seeing that I would like are 20-25 that are reasonably priced.....a few for less from private owners, which means I will have to force a sale of my car if I find the right one.

Nuff said.
Selling my Black 04 cobra, 31,500 miles. Dark charcoal inserts in the seats, which are a 9/10. I'm going to be completely honest, and say this car has not been garaged, and the previous owners did NOT take real great care of the paint.

Good point. When I pull the trigger it will be in the "off" season for car sales, especially rwd v8 cars. In the mean time I will save my pennies to off set the additional cost

[MoCkiN U]

So you are talking now about something you might do in winter? Dude, you have always been cool as shit to me but do you do anything except talk. Forever it was a supercharger and now its this. Just man up and get what you want finally. Pull the damn trigger already and get yourself a fun toy!

Thats his story and he is sticking to it.

[wrath]

Watch the forums for a while. MotownMuscle has a terminator once in a while in your price range. Most of the Ford guys have been abandoning their 4.6L cars for 5.0L cars, if they have any money.

I'm sorry, but if it's not an 03-04 with a blower, or a 21st century 5.0, I wouldn't touch it.

I think its about impressing people honestly. Dont buy what will get you attention just buy something you like and if you mod it you might accidentally end up with something people respect but they will respect the project not the person if the person doesnt act right

[CATNHAT]

Wait until january and try to get a high mileage 2011 5.0. Black of course. Sounds like that is what you are really after.

Or cut back on the factory options and get a bare bones 5.0. Trade in your car and your payment should be right there. Then mod as desired. Bad ass car right out of the box. Slap in some 4.10s and HELL YEAH! I priced one out at 29K but it only had 3.73 gears as the only upgrade.

Lol, with my job, I can drive just about any car that I want and see if I like it before I go that route. I have driven GTOs, Trans Am's, Camaros (new body and old), imports, Corvettes, ect. After driving them and getting back into mine, I never think "I really liked that car." The only one that I really liked was a CLK and an M3. Then I look at how much it costs to maintain it....I am a Mustang guy. I have owned two prior to this one, and I will continue to own them.

I think its about impressing people honestly. Dont buy what will get you attention just buy something you like and if you mod it you might accidentally end up with something people respect but they will respect the project not the person if the person doesnt act rightKelly, I have really never been out to impress people, because what one person likes, another dosnt, so it is a losing battle. The reason why I am looking at Cobra's, Saleens, Roush, and Mach1's is because I like them. I have wanted a Saleen for years, I love how that supercharger sounds when you floor it on a cobra (as well as how the seats feel in the 03/04's), The Roush and the Mach 1's have their advantages as well (side exhaust for the Roush and 4v power with the Mach). That is why I want one.....Especially now that my insurance rates have gone down so much that I can get one of them (one of the reasons for going with the GT when I bought it).

That is an idea, or going with what Dan said too.......There is another person who is a part of the decision as well, and I will have to run any car that I get by her before I buy it.

Yeah, I know, and I am kicking my self for it as well, however at the time, I had just paid off my car.......Now I have been looking at them off and on, especially now since low mileage ones are still in the 14-17k range considering the condition.....My only issue with them is that they seem just as fast in stock trim as what I have now. On the other hand, I can always swap over my exhaust and rear end over to one.

5,0 is out of the question, but your post above got my mind thinking........and after talking to a few people here is what I am going to do.....Save up 6k.

LOL, I thought the same thing with my car. A full drive train swap is not easy and by the time you've found a donor that doesn't have major damage to some part of the drive train, bought the donor, and done the work you'd be further ahead to just buy a clean Cobra, which is a major reason why my car just went down the road.

BTW, I saw some very clean Cobra's with under 10K miles for under 30K searching around Autotrader yesterday.

Otherwise, keep your car for a few more years and save for something worth having vs something that will feed your addiction and is a POS.

Lol, if you would of read earlier, a year or so ago I had the oppertunity to buy a red 99 cobra with a tan interior. The deal would of been the cobra for my car and some cash (cobra had 20,000 more miles than my car), and i turned it down when I saw the color of the interior and the style of rim.....Ryans at least has awesome rims on it and the procharger, which is why I would entertain the idea.

[Flicktitty]

i think ryans car is sub 40k

[Reverend Cooper]

i know he is over 25000 as of last year Ryans that is
Nick cant buy Ryans car now that i think about it,its way to manly for him anyhow.
he should get a purple V6

[88Nightmare]

so nick, you'd rather save up money and over that course of time, change your mind 18 more times, then go through the ordeal of swapping a drivetrain instead of buying ryans car and just simply swapping interior?

the way you put it, its easier to swap a whole drivetrain (keeping in mind your car has a solid rear axle and a cobra has IRS which should make it a fun swap) plus everything else involved, then to swap interior and wheels lol

[Slow Joe]

I don't understand where you think your car is worth a 6k trade difference from a Cobra... You work in the car business, do the math.

That is unless I'm misunderstanding what you're attempting to say...

[05caddyext]

I thought that cobra had the solid rear axle swap done to it. Or was that horseplay? Where has he been lately? I am positive he could find you the right terminator, he has had more mustangs than anyone I have ever met. And do you have proof that your car is paid for? Or is that why you aren't "ready" ready to do anything now. One thing I have learned is that no matter how much you want a car, once you get it, it just never seems to be enough. I am on car/truck #18 at 32 years old, and still haven't found "the one."

And another comment. The mach1 stock was a pretty fast car. Didn't Greg run in the very low 13's maybe high 12's with his in stock trim? Greg@GLD?

[Slow Joe]

Yeah, he did. And I ran a high 13 with mine on a 120*+ track temp day on nearly bald stock tires.... My first time out in it ever with minimal drag strip time in any car...

[MoCkiN U]

I got 13.0 on street tires, exhaust, intake, tune with zero driver skill at all. Never ran with mickeys on it but lord only knows what it would do then. Its really not worth a rear end to find out tho if they stick and i launch too hard

[FoxStang]

Get a stripper 5.0 since you work in the car business. Why do you want to modify a car your going to drive on a daily basis? That just seems like a recipe for disaster...

i know he is over 25000 as of last year Ryans that is
Nick cant buy Ryans car now that i think about it,its way to manly for him anyhow.
he should get a purple V6You obviously dont know shit about shit. Once again, if you going to be your normal retarded self exit out of this thread.


so nick, you'd rather save up money and over that course of time, change your mind 18 more times, then go through the ordeal of swapping a drivetrain instead of buying ryans car and just simply swapping interior?

the way you put it, its easier to swap a whole drivetrain (keeping in mind your car has a solid rear axle and a cobra has IRS which should make it a fun swap) plus everything else involved, then to swap interior and wheels lol

No I know I want a 4v car or a saleen, and the more I think about it, I want one with a 6 speed. The swap idea makes sence to me because I would leave the solid rear axle in my car....I would really only want the engine, trans, and seats. Getting one that was hit makes more sence because for the price of a wrecked one, I could get just the engine and trans. Anything that would be usefull to someone after I got what I wanted I would sell...


I don't understand where you think your car is worth a 6k trade difference from a Cobra... You work in the car business, do the math.

That is unless I'm misunderstanding what you're attempting to say...Yes you are mistaken, Joe. Trade in value on my car is 6-8.....depending on what other cars are going through at this point in time.....I looked at the reports yesterday using the mileage that I estimate will be on the car after next week. Add the 6k I would put down it would be a total of 12-14 unless I sold the car my self. I would end up financing 12k on a 24k car (low end). Payments will be in the 300's or less depending on the term I got.


I thought that cobra had the solid rear axle swap done to it. Or was that horseplay? Where has he been lately? I am positive he could find you the right terminator, he has had more mustangs than anyone I have ever met. And do you have proof that your car is paid for? Or is that why you aren't "ready" ready to do anything now. One thing I have learned is that no matter how much you want a car, once you get it, it just never seems to be enough. I am on car/truck #18 at 32 years old, and still haven't found "the one."It has the IRS on it, you are thinking of Tina's car. As far as proof, what are you looking for? How does a title that was printed 4 months ago when I switched the address of where the car was kept that has no secured parties listed? If I say the car is paid for, the car is paid for. I wouldn't trade in a car that I owe money on.


Get a stripper 5.0 since you work in the car business. Why do you want to modify a car your going to drive on a daily basis? That just seems like a recipe for disaster...It wont be a daily driver....I am getting a truck for that. Even a stripper 5.0 would be in the 30's before trade ect. I am not looking for a 5.0, nor do I want one. At least not right now untill they fix the trans isues they are having.

:popcornThe insults from Coop I can do with out......

Provided Ryan is looking at the same number that I have in my head, I think we could work something out pending sale of my car, knowing full well that I will need to replace the springs (not too keen on cut springs).

He has new different springs for the car that are not cut.

[Waver]

Well that just made the car more attractive
One less thing to worry about.

Seems like they price the cars higher when they have mods....especially when they had one 03 gt with over 100k miles priced higher than a 55k 04 gt....

[Nickerz]

Seems like they price the cars higher when they have mods....especially when they had one 03 gt with over 100k miles priced higher than a 55k 04 gt....

Stock market value + half of modded parts cost is usually fair if it's a clean and modded right car.

Of course a bunch of crap like stickers and 24s is worth nothing. But a 100k mile car with a built shortblock and a vortech could be worth more than it's lower mile counterpart.

[05caddyext]

Only worth what someone is willing to pay. I had my 04 GT for sale on here for $8000 with 22k original miles. Perfect condition, one owner car. Had every option including the mach 1000 stereo, the 99 chrome cobra wheel option, leather blah blah. Couldn't sell it. I put it up for sale in Hartland at my dads place and sold it for $14k within a week.

With the network we have available to find cars, you should be able to find exactly the car you want, with the price you want, within a reasonable amount of time. It's not like you are looking for a 1 of 45 1923 Ford.

[Reverend Cooper]

do anything yet. still waiting

[GTSLOW]

Holy fuck that online dealer goes through a shit ton of cobras and fords in general!!!
