Looking to buy 01 Cobra

[Douger807]

Spotted an 01 Cobra, Torch Red with 23xxx miles. Clean car, never smoked in and engine looks clean. They are asking 18000 for it. I figured I would offer 16000. Is this too low or is the car really worth 18000. On KBB, the car is worth 17,200. I would appreciate any input because I really want this car.

Thanks!

01 coupes are not selling at near this price because of the 05s and the 03/04s
Find out wholesale on this car, look around, this is a high price somewhat for this car. dealerships are still trying to get top dollar. Good luck on the hunt

18,000 is a bit high. Offer 16 and see what they say. I doubt they'll do it, but you never know...

or buy mine for thousands less...guessing it's the same color since torch red wasn't offered in 01...

17 sound reasonable. Albeit demand isn't there, the car is still worth it.

Man. I must have gotten a good deal. I paid $10.5 for my '99 /w 58K miles.

18K sounds about right i got my 01 with 24,000 miles for 16,500 in the middle of winter if i had waited till now they would have prob tryed to sell it for 18,000+

I still say a lot depends on location. I paid $19,600 for my 01 Cobra with 29,200 miles, totally clean, inside and out. I live in Colorado Springs, the next best deal was a 98 Cobra with 44,000 miles for $18,500. Any 03's were still going for $30,000.
So to me that is a good deal, try $16,000 they may go for it, but I kind of doubt it. But it never hurts to ask, good luck

I'm right in STL, and the car was on the otherside of Little Rock. So, about 6 hours of driving and I nabbed the car for alot less than up here. It did need some things done, but really pretty minor.

I'm looking at the JLT CAI vs demolet right now.....

I forgot to answer your other questions.

The car is Electric Green, one of 408 coupes in 99. It's been sprayed with a slightly blue clearcoat. It really looks nice. Anyways, mods include: Magnaflow mufflers, flowmaster cats, pulleys, 17x9 Cobra R's, aluminum trim pieces on the interior. And a stupid billet gas door! If anyone wants to talk about trading their stock gas door for a billet aluminum one, email me!!

I paid $21,000 for mine back in December of '04, only had 7400 miles on it and was clean as a helland only one owner. I may have paid a little much for it, but hey i have never seen and Black Cobra Vert with a tan top yet, not it person or on the internet. But anyway you look at it. These cars ( '99's and '01s ) are something special, Prolly the last NA Cobra Ever. And alot less made than the '03s or '04. With almost 14,000 made( I think thats right) in '03 alone, they are freakin Mutts, and are Dime a Dozen.
