The guy I know is selling Vortech supercharged 96 Cobra w/ 120k original miles.
Plus coilovers and griggs tubular front end and camber plates.

He is asking $10k

I am kinda hesitent because used 96 Cobra KBBs @ $6400.
The mods are sweet, but counting them 25 cents on a dollar it barely adds to $3.5K. S/C engine with that mileage could be nearing it's duty and used Supercharger is roughly $1500+ on Ebay. I think $8,500 is the most the car is worth at this point.

What do you think guys, is that a bargain?

Too much for those miles. Mods don't add to the value of a car

well is the motor redone? reciepts for all that stuff? proof the owners the one that payed for it? thats a lot of stuff done to a car. and mods dont add to a book value no, but to a sellers/buyers value yes. could you get a 96 cobra and add all that stuff for the price hes asking? probably not? like my cobra its forsale ive put about 14k in it just since july. its turbocharged, brand new engine top/bottom. do you think anyone would sell it for a book value of a completely stock vehicle? if you do your crazy and in the wrong hobby! and that used price for that s/c kit is it the same kit? does it even work and can they/you prove it? lots to consider when purchasing a modified car. mainly what the cost would be to duplicate, and could you duplicate it for less? whe it comes to fi/efi cars you have tuning that needs to be considered and its not cheap i know ive just did mine and im close to a $1000 on that alone with just a custom chip. fuel system parts are not cheap anymore either.
