Sir,

how was the maintenance on this for the miles?
how long did brakes last, any leaks, etc?
I always keep up with maintenance but just looking for any tips?

I'm daily driving mine with 5,700 miles thus far....

I've only owned the car for the past 3,000 miles. What I can tell you based on what I can actually see:
-Still on factory brakes
-Stock clutch
-No leaks or problems whatsoever
-Changed the oil a few days ago and the old oil looked great

My 08 GT500 before this one had 80,000 miles when I sold it. I replaced the stock brakes on that one at 70k miles. I had no issues at all out of that car and I definitely "enjoyed" it.

Not to be mean but it isnt worth $42k. KBB is $39k in excellent private party and kbb is usually smoking crack. def worth more then $25-30k. mid to high $30s is where it should go at


Then 90% of 03/04 Owners asking mid 20 high 20s and 11+ 5.0 owners asking low 30s for their used cars must be on cocaine, meth, bath salts, and LSD

You can't compare the two.

The 11/12s has the market pressure of the 13/14s right now. They're "soft" because of it.

The 03/04 cobra does not have that market pressure- and is in a completely different price bracket.

Then what's the excuse on someone asking mid low 30 on a bolt on 5.0 and some with just a blower for a 5.0 be = to a 12' GT500. Because pressure or not its a used car and u don't get your money back on modded cars but people are sure as hell trying. Or 03/04 owners asking anywhere near 30s

Then I see 07-09 GT5 owners asking mid high 30s for theirs...they have to be worse off than a 12' or is your argument is they are the first generation in a long time since the original so they hold better value

What people ask and what people pay are two entirely different things.

Not to mention- you could option a 2012 GT for $42k. That same guy asking $35k a year later with bolt ons doesn't seem that bad.

Anyone asking $36k for an 07 GT500 is nuts. They're worth 30k tops.

But an 07 GT500 was $42k-ish new. An 11/12 was in the 50s with svtpp.

What's I'm tryin to say- is that you can't compare asking prices and or 03/04 Cobra's to 11/12s.

Look around- reasonably priced cars sell fast. Overpriced cars sit..and are either discounted down to normalcy and sold...or they get taken off the market

I know asking isn't the selling price. Only fools pay stupid amounts for something they don't know the worth.
