looking to buy 1997 Cobra

[AirBoyzT]

Hey, I have a buddy that has a 1997 Cobra for sale and said I could give him $8000 for it. It has 68,000 miles on it. I was wondering if this is a good deal. Alternatively this would not be my daily driver and im looking to maybe race it. Just wondering if a stock 1997 Cobra is fast and if this is a good deal.
Thanks!

it depends what condition its in! It has low miles but is it beat up? As far as fast goes a N/A Cobra is pretty quick but i have never drove one N/A. I've always drivin Blown cars

miles aren't too high so if the cars in good shape id say thats a good price. You can see them anywhere from 11g being in great shape, moded, or low low miles...I got mine for 7g but i got a steal...8g is a good price. Whether it's fast or not depends on what your used to driving. I came from an suv so yes it was fast and still feels fast to me. If your used to driving a new z06 no it's not that fast, but if you just had a "normal" speed car then yes it can be a handful. Once you get it though, it won't be stock for long just keep that in mind. Plus depending on your final goal for the car, the teskid block is the way to go. Also i like that year (i have a 97) because it's at the point where it's almost old school but not and still has the same interior and almost exterior of the late 99-04 model.

I paid 8K for mine in 06 with just a tad more miles than that, 80k. I would offer 6,500-7000.

+1 I also got mine for 8k a while back. I'd offer the same amount as above.

i would buy it for 8k if its in realllllllllllly good condition...like the paint, interior, tires and all that stuff...u can spend a couple more thousand and maybe get lucky and find an 03-04 mach1. they are newer and faster than sn95s

10k for an 03-04 mach1. :dw: Hmmm.
That would be a veryyyyyy goood price.

damn if thats true I need to just buy the thing so I can rip out the drivetrain and slap it in my car, not that your car wasnt awesome as it sat bur it be easier than trying to duplicate my current suspension and chassis upgrades, then swap in my old motor and sell the car for 8k flat

Yep! I'd really really like to buy it back but unfortunately right now i'm not in a position too
