I was talkin about what the dealer would give him. Dealers wont give you crap 4 a trade in. They offerd me like $2,500 for my extra clean 97 cobra with 95k on it. I sold it for $8,000 myself. On the street, he can easily get 10k for his car.
I know he could definitely get more than 6k...probably 9500-10k im guessin.
Agree 100%.This fall 01 and even 03/04 Cobras will be WAY WAY WAY cheaper. After a summer of Shelbys and high gas, trust me the Cobras wil be cheap when the first snow falls, real cheap.
Wanna take the more outrageous cobras? Get forged internals for the engine, and do a pully swap.
And oops...wouldn't ya know it, you've now surpassed the cost of the Cobra in an effort to outrun it and you still handle and stop like a Ford Fairmont, with lousy resale value to boot.
dammit i wanted to say that!
however the only other mustang id give up the GT for would be a 03/04 Cobra (which i tried already, didnt work out). otherwise youre basically a IRS/6spd swap and a VT head/cam combo away from being a 99/01 cobra, though without the resale value, which compared to a GT, isnt far off. however if you can find a 99/01 cobra with lower miles than your current GT and at a good price and you can live with 320hp or whatever it has for the amount of the new loan and however long youll be paying for another mustang, then by all means, go for it!
There's no way I'd trade my GT for a 99-01. It already has upgraded everything. Hell, an 03/04 term better be either like brand new/low mileage, have turbos, or is Mystichrome for me to even consider trading my car for it. Speaking of which, I may save up for one in a year and use it as a DD. having both would be a win/win situation for me anyways
btw, I do agree the 32V's larger heads/valve covers make my 2V look kinda wimpy. I remember being parked beside a terminator at one car show and some random guy asked me why the Cobra's engine was twice the size of mine.
Im all for 4V's, but I would rather have your car than a stock terminator. Honestly though, after buying my Mach 1, I was kickin myself 4 a while for not just getting a terminator, but after going to a big local mustang cruise this past weekend, I changed my whole outlook. It seemed like every other Stang there was a terminator, & there was only a few machs there. I know my mach isnt as fast as a termy, but It looks way more badass IMO, & u barely see them. Dont get me wrong though, they are the s**t, & I would still love to have 1, but i will never give up the Mach 4 one. My car even makes Chevy guys (stang haters) say "thats badass"!!!
Yeah, my area is pretty much terminator country. They're freaking everywhere so I actually feel kinda unique. My car get lots of "wtf" looks wherever I go because ppl just aren't used to seeing that. Plus I've gotten lots of props from LS1/2 ownrs as well.
I do sometimes wonder what if I started with an 03 Cobra instead. I know it'd be CRAZY nasty by now. Ah well, I'm still young (kinda lol) and have time for more toys.
Price is way too high. You'll do better buying private than you will from a dealer I think. Youll be better off selling privately too.
I bought mine from a dealer because it had a certified pre-owned warranty for an extra 3 years.
