Well after everything I have done to the car in the last few months. I have made the decision to put it up for sale again to free up some money. I am the third owner and the car has a clean title. The car is 03 dsg convertable. with 50,9xx miles. The car has been babied for the 3 years that I owned it,never abused or tracked and the oil was changed every 3 months(Mobil 1 5w20) and always garaged. The whipple 2.3 gen 2 (bought new)has only been on the car for about 2 months and less than 400 miles on it. It was tuned by Brad at XXX motorsports in Pensacola and put down 575/575.
The car is a 9/10 exterior and 9.0/10 interior. The drivers seat does have some wear but is still in great condition. Other than the seat the interior is in great shape. As for the exterior. It has some very minor scratches and a small door ding in the passenger side door aswell as some rock chips on the hood. But the paint is in great condition. The rims are in very good condition although there are a couple very minor scratches on them. I would give them a 9/10
I do not have to sell the car so no lowball offers please.only serious buyers. And I will not serperate parts or sell just the rims and NO trades asking $17,000 if intrested please call 850-758-8663 ask for Jeff


***edited cbarile stoped by the house today to look at the cobra. He pointed out to me that the car has been in an accident. He noticed a weld under the hood and is no longer interested. I have always knew it was there but due no the clean carfax I really thought nothing of it. I do not want to hide anything from anyone or try to be sneaky. because of me knowing this now I have decided to drop the price of the car. I still need to sell it but I am in no position to lose any money guys. I would rather keep it than sell it for $14,000 or $15,000. If anyone is still interested in the cobra knowing this please feel free to contact me and cbarile also said you can contact him if you would like to talk to him aswell. And thanks for looking

Ok,I just got back fom the body here in town to have them look at the weld. The owner of the body shop looked at the car and said he see's no signs of the car being in an accident. he thinks for some reason the weld was done from the factory.

I too was all over this car with a flashlight and saw no damage to the radiator core support (except the weld) or anything on the unibody being wrinkled and pulled with a frame machine. I am a 41 year old man that is EXTREMELY meticulous and looking for a garage queen. This car is a steal for the regular guy looking to buy a driving cobra. You could sell the rims and new blower and be in the car for 11,xxx. This is truly a no brainer.
