What did you ACTUALLY pay for your Cobra?

On 1/10/04 I bought a new 2003 Cobra that had a $2,500 rebate, the car stickered for 35k. I still have it.
I bought my clean stock-ish redfire coupe with 29k miles in the summer of 2018.
Paid $23K in cash to a private seller in Arkansas.
I didn't think I was stealing the car back then but boy I'm glad I bought it when I did!

Bought my 2003 in November of 2022. Paid $26.5k CAD. Has a rebuilt title from front end damage in 2004. No structural issues whatsoever. Only way I could get one for under $38k+ CAD

Got my ebony 04 in 2019 with 71k for 18. Had 6 year old nittos that where barely used and starting to dry. Upper pulley and idlers, and exhaust. Before I bought it I was always complaining that they were overpriced. But now it would take way more than it's worth to buy mine. So I see how the price is inflated.
03 Sonic Blue. Bought in 09 with 18k miles on it for $19k. Has about 32k miles now.
Bought mine in September 2022 for $20,000 85k miles. Light mods: suspension, clutch, exhaust, wheels. Seats were ripped and needed paint desperately. Motor was strong, but needed some suspension damage repairs.
Been searching for the right car my whole life, usually only last a year or 2 per car. Evo 8 > Lighting > evo x > project nova > c63 > Aston Martin vantage > cobra. Never been happier every time i drive it, get it, see it, or really think about it.

What color? That’ll make a big difference…
Redfire
Bought mine from original owner on here back in August 2005.
-2003 Cobra, 2802 miles, upper pulley, exhaust, cai, tune for $28.5K. Only time it was washed was when dealership sold him the car in Nov. '02.
I couldn't pass it up and still glad I have it. First plan was my '89 GT you see above my name. Was going to go 351W stroker, supercharge/turbo, etc. before I found the cobra on here.

to me this question depends on how you look at the car.
it's one thing if you're trying to pay the lowest price you can so that you can sell it in the future to try to make the most profit, like some used car dealer.
but it's a different story if this is exactly the car you really want and "love." that is something you cannot put a price on because it's an emotional purchase that will make you happy. because in this case, money comes secondary; it is not nearly as important as getting exactly what you want.
$15k in 2013 but she needed love.
Can you post a couple of recend photos, Tony?

Wow! How the heck you find that deal? Congrats!
Those 2020 prices were real. Also the color helped price I’m sure.
It’s pretty close to exactly what I want. It’s a one owner, original documentation, clean coupe. Only thing that would be better is if it never had a pulley change. It’s pretty near stock though with pulley, exhaust and intake. I just don’t know what a fair price is.
