VMP taking trade-in knows the 2.3L market will be extremely thin after those that switch to the new 2.65L. The VMP, Whipple, KB, Turbo, etal marketplace can only handle a maximum of what 18k 03/04 Cobra total units. So pricing on refurbished 2.3L units will have to be competitive to other manufacturers. It appears the used market for 2.2, 2.3, etc. is currently finding difficulty commanding much over $2.3k for a low mileage blower.
For my thinking, the 2.65L will prove to be the sweet spot for our stock bottom end yet capable of delivering great power for those seeking the higher end of the curve.
I got $1,200 for anyone wanting to dump a Gen2.
