looking at a 97 cobra

[laserstang21]

i have a 2000 mustang gt, but i am looking at a 97 cobra with 24,000 miles on it. the car.s paint is peeling under the drivers door, on the rear bumper its missing a lil like wear, needs new tint, new tires all round, probably original tires, and change a idler pully. they want 8995 but i told them i might be able to do 8500. what do u think any help will be helpful. thy jay

Go buy it now...it's a steal, even at the asking price. I'd do a VIN check to make sure that it isn't a flood damaged car though.

i know its not a flood car because its right down the street from my gf's house and we havent been flooded that bad for a verry long time. but im thinkin bout offerin like 8000 or 8500 because i can get the paint fixed 4 like 300 dollars. and i got tires from my 2000 to put on it

For that price, you can resell it for a profit if you wanted to. Go buy the damned thing. Heck, if I lived nearby, I'd buy it. You'll be kicking yourself if you don't.

has it had any of the mods done to it? The clutch spring on the clutch fork and the head /cooling mod done to it?

Sounds like a good deal - I just sold my 98 with 50K miles, mint condition, maybe $1500 in bolt-ons for $13,000. Just make sure you do a CarFax first!

Paint peeling? It's a white car isn't it?

head/cooling mod??? Care to elaborate? The thought of my 97 baby taking a hi-temp dump sends chills down my spine.

Paint Peel?

I am surprised the paint is peeling with 24k on the car, I have 18k on mine and it looks brand new and it is white. Carfax.....

I believe white cars reflect the suns rays better than a darker colored car that would absorb heat etc. My Cobra always feels cooler than my other cars when out in the sun.
