Provided its a clean accident free car it sounds like a great deal to me, anything lower is just a bonus.

Ran a carfax. Great report. Never any damage reported. I called the owner, the guy sounded like a mature driver, and not a kid like me. HAHA.

I'm glad your looking at a black one now! The only 2 cobras in town are white, i think a black one would be awesome. I wanted black when i was looking, but settled for white. The car your looking at now seems like a good deal! Good luck! Keep me posted!

I still want white, but this just seems like to good of a deal. My last couple Ta's have been black, so I was getting burned out on the color. Oh well. I'll let you know what happens.

Try getting an Oasis report as well, just get the VIn and call a local Ford service dept. Never can be too careful

Sounds like a deal but carfax is not that accurate it could still have had some damage that was not reported so...

I don't have any pics at this time...The car is out of town (not far though :) I would tell everyone where it is so you guys could find the pics, but I don't want someone to sweep it out from underneath me like has happend twice now. ;-)

It isn't advertised very well either, so that is probably why it isn't gone. I'll post pics up when I get it home:coolman:

Ford can run a report for you?

True, I have been hearing that alot lately. But it is better than nothing. If I haden't got the 10 carfax reports last night, I would be bidding on a sonic blue on ebay with more miles than the odometer shows.

What is the average going rate for a shop to do compression tests, and a real good extensive look over?

I'd respecfully[ not cause he's older but 'cause it's the right way to dicker] offer 17.5 [ thats less than 10% off, tell him that ] if you have the cash let him know and dicker from there. you should wind up @ 18-18.5. Even if he won't budge it's a good deal, assuming it's well maintained.
