It seems like everyone has a 03-04 Cobra. 99-01 Cobras are more rare and much lighter. Do a solid axle swap and lose another 100+ Lbs
First off, you would be lucky to get 12K for your current vehicle, so that means if you keep buying things you cant afford via financing then you will roll the negative equity from the 01 Cobra into the 03, so from a financial standpoint, that would result in a significant financial loss to you. Financing in general is a bad idea, but when you mix it with items like cars that rapidly go down the toilet in value, you will bleed money like crazy. Sure, the 03 Cobra has a lot of improvements over the 01 like a stiffer steering shaft isolator disk, harder front steering rack, front control arm and rear sub frame bushings along with shorter front tie rods, a better front and rear bump steer curve, thicker steering wheel, better power steering cooler, along with the increased power, but I don't think the improvements are worth it if you end up loosing a ton of money and wiping out your cash reserves, so looking at your situation from a financial point of view, going to the 03 would be a mistake because you can't even afford the 01 to begin with since you are making payments on it. Good luck to in what ever choice you make. :beer:Stallion9769 said:I figured I still owe lik 15k on it but figured if I sell it for 19-21k and get about 5k. then save up about 5k more over the course of 4 or 5 months and then get another loan. I wuold then be paying the same amount of money but would have a supercharged beast in the garage. I just am not sure what to do. Any input is appreciated.
Holy shit, I just noticed that! :lol1: My thanks go out to blue35thgt for bring back this entertaining 01 VS 03 thread from the dead. oke:VirtualSVT said:OH MY GOD. Did you look at the date?
