Why are you Mustang and Cobra buyers so CHEAP.

[rd]

Interesting thread here.

But remember, I bought my latest Mustang for $500, and thought I paid too much. My daughter has driven it for a month now, and it seems to be working.

This would be the hardest place to sell a car like that, a pristine older Cobra. From what I can tell, most of those who frequent here know these cars inside and out, and are interested in the least costly way to fix or mod their cars.

For example, when I wanted a 5.0 toy, about 7 years ago, totalled, wadded up 5.0 Mustangs were $2500 and up, and several salvage yards were able to grow into national businesses buying and selling them. I had to start with a $50 shell. For a while, I was behind where I would have been starting with a complete GT, but now, I realize I have saved money, because I am past where leftover stock stuff will help go faster. Time and the market made the difference.

I don't want and pristine example, because it is an expensive way to get either a hotrod or a daily driver. So the market for that car is somewhat limited, to me.

However the market will be changing, and those pristine cars will come into demand in time.

maybe if it was a 93 cobra..................

...I wish I could buy a "perfect" 93 cobra for 5,000

Well,

Some of you are mean. I understand that Mustangs are worthless to everyone except the owner. Usually most owners who spend $2000+ on their mustang, not including the wheels expect that another Stanger will appreciate that they don't have to spend $2000 to get it the way they like it.

I have no problems keeping my car. If anyone thinks they will get a 95 Cobra for $5000 they are koo-koo. Enjoy your own fixups. I guess that no one gets my Cobra and I will just enjoy it as I do and keep my pristine 93 Cobra in the garage.

I see some moderator deleted my add too for the Cobra. Thanks Guys!

'95 Black Cobra ... 5speed? Miles? What do you want for it?

 

[CBZGT50]

HAH! That's what people THINK. Idiots here try and sell their fox bodies for 10, 12, 15, 20k and think that they'll get it. It's a goddamned joke. And then they complain why no one will buy their car, just like what's happening now. I picked up my fox for 2k CDN, mint body. Some people will actually reasonably price their cars, though it's few and far between.

When I was shopping for a fox body, I got so pissed seeing these people try and sell their heaps for 5-6k, with over 200k on the odometer...

1. Not a fox body
2. 63000 mile on the clock
3. I won't say cause it's rude
4. Respect your fellow stanger.
5. Stay in Canada.

1. I was responding to DMAN302, hence the fact that I quoted his post.
2. Refer to 1 if there is still some misunderstanding.

my bad, the 5.0 94-95 5.0 cobra's had 240hp at the flywheel, but the 5.8's had 300 hp. 96-98 had 305 w/ the 4.6 dohc. I'm sure it's a nice car, but like some people said, buying cars on internet classifieds isn't everyone's thing.

I wasn't aware of any 94-95 factory cobra having a 5.8L - all the research I've done in the last year, never heard of it once, am I an asswipe? (i know that i am, but am I cuz i never heard of this, or is this an idiotic statement) I am 99% sure that I would have heard of a factory 5.8 in a mustang (that's from 1979-present) - I must have massive ADD or ADHD or something... can anyone clarify?? I didnt wanna bust his balls too bad in case "I" was wrong lol !!

I don't think there was a fox body Cobra R, don't remember for sure though. A 5.8 is a 351, see my above post.

FWIW, 1 liter is roughly equal to 61.08 cubic inches.

Oh yea, I think you can get a 358 by boring out a 351 block. But don't quote me on that.

not always...you can also get some great deals on ebay

Chris, I don't see how you responded to that statement so "tactfully". I think he was just "trying" to bash someone. I'm glad the internet was invented. If some things from these forums were said face to face, I'd hate to see the rusults......

 

[SeventyMach1]

BTW, Lyncher, I thought they would go for more than that .... I know THIS '95 can be had for $35K .....

 

[txstang84]

drooling....but why tan interior? for goodness sakes why?

 

[BaXTeR3221]
