Quick answer needed!!! Swappable Parts?

[BlackenedSVT]

I have a 2002 Mustang GT. I'll be going to look at trading her in tomorrow for an 01 Cobra. The guy wants $18,000 but I may have talked him down to $16,500. Negotiating more tomorrow.

Anyway, I wanted to know what parts off my car are swapable to the 01 Cobra?

My MGW Short Shifter??
My Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering springs?
My Magnaflow X Midpipe?

Mods in sig, anything else transferable?


My BIG thing i'd like to keep is the lowering springs and the MGW shifter especially. The midpipe i'd probably let them have with the headers and the cat-back. Other mods like my shift light will be coming with me as well.


On a side note. What do you all think of trading a 2002 GT 65k miles in for a 01 Cobra 65k miles? Both black on black cars

um as for the swapping parts, the shifter will work, but the springs won't the 01 cobra has the IRS and you have to get certain rear lowering springs for them to fit. the mid pipes i'm really not too cure about i think they would work.. and as for the trade to a 01 cobra, i think you will be happy, the 01's are really nice cobras I would love to have a cobra.

I'm hopin to get my hands on it. I haven't met with the salesman yet (independent deal) but I must say he sounds like the most honest salesman i've ever heard of. over the phone he offered me between 9,500 and 10,500 for my car trade in and told me he'd take $1,000 off the asking price of $18,500. I told him his price is still over priced by another $1,000.

I'm basically going to tell him flat out that I'd be willing to spend 5-6k on a finance on the cobra. He can give me as much or as little as he wants for my GT or charge as much as he wants for the cobra...bottom line im offering my GT and 5 or 6k in finance. If that doesn't work i walk thats all.

Hey there.. well sounds like a good idea if you ask me. Every mustang owner wants a cobra or the gt500 lol.. Plus i have driven one and your going to notice a good power difference.. it should run better than a 14.0 (not saying that bad) but i would think with very little mods it would run mid to lower 13.s Plus i love the way the 4v sounds.. its just nasty sounding.. lol

+1 on the shifter
And yea cant do the springs but lucky you will have IRS

Here is the big thing, Just cuz the sales man told you that he will give you X amount of dollars for your trade in. All he is doing is trying to do is get you excited and get you to come in there. You have a better chance of buying and signing paper work when he shows you the car... I used to sell cars so the best way to get them down, is scare them and tell them that you want X amount for your car (whatever you think is fair) and say "The Deal WONT happen unless you work on MY buddget" Cuz the fact that they might lose your business and their paycheck, they will make your deal alot sweeter..
I just dont wanna see a post that you got ripped off or something.
Hope this helps and hope it helps other people too.

Remember, when in doubt, a** end out.. lol :SNSign:

I really would not buy a car from a dealer..... Always a bad Idea. I always get my cars private....the people know the car personally and normally can get it cheaper. Just be carefull. Remember..dont settle

Just remember the dealership is not called "Stealership" for nothing.. And the sales man is just trying to earn a paycheck.. OH and just an FYI most dealerships (or at least the one i worked at) gives 5-15% of the sale of the car. SO if you do the math $16000 at 10% = 1600 for selling you that ONE car.. Keep that in mind if you wanna make big bucks and work HELLA long hours plus MOST (not all) salesman are dicks and try to make as much money as they can...
This is why im not a salesman anymore..
Its a joke how many people get F-ed over..
Let us know what you do man.. :SNSign:
