*** if you don't like the price keep your comments to yourself thanks ***

As much as i hate to have to type this.. i crashed my 03 cobra and 6 days before that i dropped the insurance because i didnt really drive it. that being said it needs some work to be able to be road worthy and im just not going to have the stomach to do that.



As it sits it will at least need a new hood, both front fenders, front bumper, new k member (i think), both struts, right rear control arm, ball joints in the front, new rotors all the way around, new intercooler, front bumper supports, headlights, fog lights, passenger door, windshield and both side skirts.



The things done to the car as it sits right now are:

slp loud mouth 2 exhaust headers back

short shifter cant remember i think its pro 5.0

jlt body color cold air intake

billet flow black throttle body (engraved with SVT) and plenum

h&r springs cant remember if sport or race springs

maximum motorsports strut tower brace

carbon wiper cowl with no holes

--(the windshield wipers have been removed but i have the entire system still)

TR6 plugs

sequential tail light harness with flash relay

valve cover caps that say terminator

terminator door sills

black chrome bumper inserts

the spoiler light is cracked as per usual



i have a brand new LFP 4# lower kit in the box still, i have an oil catch can i purchased from someone here (used) that was never installed, i have a 100mm idler that i didnt use yet (used from someone here), i have original floor mats as well as cobra mats, i have 2 10.5 deep cobra reps from AM that just need tires, i have the stock springs still.. i cant even remember half of the things i did to the car or what i have for it.



i know the car isnt worth its normal condition price anymore but i do know that the motor alone could net me about $7k at 43k miles not including the body panels that are still good along with the interior and any other mechanical pieces. i dont want to part it out until i exhaust this option first. with that being said ive already declined 3 different offers of 10, 11 and $12k for the car as it sits so please consider that if we discuss it. thanks

Man, sorry for the unfortunate accident.
That you wrecked this car just days ago and have already been offered 12k is impressive.
You can ask whatever you want for your car and everybody can go pound sand. Your car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. You already have someone willing to pay 12 K. Wow.
You should emphasize because no insurance is involved it is still a clean title car.
You’re not too far apart. GLWS.

It happened back in August I was just contemplating doing the repairs myself but I'm at the point where I just can't sit and look at it anymore. I had 12k basically in hand and I turned it down simply because I can pull the motor and get an easy 7k without the Transmission or the rest of the car. I would do that I just don't want to watch it fall apart unless I have to.

It isn't going through the insurance so it will be a clean title car. PA title clean with 38k showing on the title and the dash says about 43600 roughly. I can't remember the exact number.

This is just me but I would take the 12k, I say that because you may be able to make more money parting it out but if you consider the hours it will take you to pull everything, inventorying it, shipping rates suck right now I think you would save yourself self a lot of time and frustration. Just trying to give you a different point of view. Either way GLWS.

Pulled off the front fenders and the bumper support that was destroyed. Took the intercooler off too because it was cracked.

I may start to part it out after seeing how fast I can get offers for parts just by listing it as a whole.

Not really in a rush to accept or decline any offers at the moment so I'm open to anything reasonable. Thanks

I don't have any pictures after the accident but the only thing different is that the air bags deployed. Whatever panels cover those are obviously not intact anymore but everything else is pretty much untouched.

Ad says 14500 or best offer, should snagged the 12K offer. Good luck
No shit. My car isn't wrecked, only has 45k miles and has a twin disk, built trans and 2.2 KB and I would think it's worth 16k with the paint in perfections, SRA swap and driver seat bolster.

I agree that you should have taken the $12K. That's a good, decent offer and you won't have to invest time in pulling the engine and separating parts for individual sale. Your call, of course, but you did post this ad as '$14,500 or best offer' so you had to have considered getting an offer in the $12K range.
