I got insanely lucky...I bought from guy in Arkansas, It was his sons...His son left for Iraq and didn't want it anymore...So he had to get rid of it for him.. Very nice older man, looked like he really didn't need the money....He sold it to me but I feel I stole it from him..19,500......!!!!!!!:banana:


You mean Redfire.

Is that the cobra that was on Autotrader forever? I was looking at that one before I bought my SB LOL

I got mine I guess before the economy really started going under. Bought in May of this year, 17.6k miles, paid 23.5k for the car, then paid for a 2 year warranty coming out to 25.5k. But the sales guy was really ****ing with me trying to get more, I stormed out, the manager knew I was pissed, gave me another year of warranty for free.

So I guess I could say I got it around 22.5k with the free warranty, but all in all 25k before taxes with warranty.

Kind of sucks if I waited, I may have been able to get a lower milage one, but I was searching for over 6 months, and when I saw this car, I just had to have it.

Bone stock except for flowmaster catback. Still has the factory marking on the pulley. I think its begging to be pullied, but funds are short now.

Don't feel bad looking at all these deals lately. If you want to find what you really want with these cars you either need to be VERY patient, picky, diligent in your searches and/or lucky. I waited 6 mo. as well to find the car that met my criteria and jumped on it immediately. Any one of us who has recently purchased one of these cars has all been through this and when "that car" was found they jumped on it for fear of going to another owner. Nobody knows what tomorrow holds for all of us. I could have waited too and maybe saved $1-2k but now it's winter (storage season in N. Ill) and I had one fun summer of driving!

These cars are fun as hell no matter what the you paid for it. Going down to the garage now and sulk that I can't drive my baby for another 3-4 mo. :nonono:

Always remember though, in our area, Christmas and valentines day come up before you can really get the car out. So, I mean, you can justify getting the car at least 2 presents for spring to the significant other.

Guess I'm taking the cake for paying too much. Bought mine Aug of 08. 2003 Black Cobra coupe with Chrome wheels bone stock , not a mark on it, never seen rain, washed with a hose twice, can eat off of the underneath. $30,000. Older guy had it from new, babied the heck out of it. IE: never once pushed the traction off button.
