I am looking at a 2004 cobra, I pulled a car fax and was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable can tell me if this a good car to look at or not. Couple red flags, no air bags and fog lamps are missing. car is a clean title and shows no accidents on car fax.. Was wondering if by looking at the report if there is any chance of title washing in it... I have attached the report.. Car is really far away that is why I can't just get up and go look at it

Car fax is clean no accidents but I will say the car went to the auction for a few reasons.

1 it failed safety to sell at the dealer so they took it to the auction.

Car is heavily modded and abused and the dealer would rather send it to the auction than to sell it to customer who will bitch and complain or be a picky customer.

I would not buy a cobra being the age of it at an auction

That car most likely took a hit on the front bumper, strong enough to pop the air bags and mess with the fog lights. Replaced the front bumper and decided to unload it, without ever reporting the accident.

Depends. What do you want to do with it? Don’t think it’s really a safe, reliable vehicle for hauling anyone you care about.

I KNOW! Buy it for the MIL. She’ll love you for it.

LOL! I decided to look my vin, and found this post.
I ended up buying it and so far so good!
it was actually in pretty good condition. Had compression test done, engine still healthy. The paint and interior are both solid 7/10s. The airbags were included, they were removed for weight reduction, and the fogs for “ventilation”.
I ended up grabbing it for $12.5, not a bad deal.
I have restored it to its original glory, check it out @ elias_04_svt.

It's the white one, right? Nice pics. I saw the Sonic Blue '03 but that's probably the one you sold. Wow, I've got to say I was surprised to hear you bought it, with so many red flags. Apparently this is one of those rare cases where a "deal" actually ends up being a DEAL. Congratulations on grabbing it for dirt cheap. It definitely looks awesome. Very clean!

I see that you like white Mustangs. ;)

What was the mileage on it when you took possession? Any mods?

Yessir, the sonic was my old one. But you know what they say, if it ain’t white, it ain’t right.
It was at 111k miles, so it’s up there. I bought it with a cai, and upper pulley, and full exhaust. I had bought a gen 2 vmp for it, but sold it. I’m going to build it from the ground up instead.
Picked up a teksid block, going to start collecting parts for a future build.
I recognize the name cobrabob from Facebook. I’m assuming you have Instagram as well?
