Trading for cobra

[Piedpiper]

They only want to give me 16,000 for my 2013 GT with 57480 miles and they wont budge on the 29,000 for the cobra.

Trade in seems maybe a little on low end and the Cobra seems on the high end. But the difference between owning a GT and owning a Cobra. One will hold value, the other will continue to drop.

Don't know how old all you guys are but I will say this. I just turned 51 i am fighting for my boys 15 and 12 who had me, their father ripped out of their lives by false allegations. Family courts are biased as F**K against men! So with that being said if your going to compare low miles to women, like I said in my other post ride her like you stole her, mod her for your pleasure (.)(.), then if she betrays you sell her for a younger model my new one 18yrs younger

I'm currently going through a similar situation. Luckily I still am able to have them every other weekend, but its guilty until proven innocent when women make a claim against men. Especially during a divorce. Disgusting.

Just know this! High mileage Terminators are hard to sell. Everyone holds out for the lowest mileage they can find. High mileage Cobras have the same value as a bar whore. Everyone wants a ride, but no one wants to commit.

mehh I'll clean up the leftovers

That’s like low mileage (<15k miles) MC/CO pricing. Sharp looking coyote btw. Just put a twin disc clutch, an E85 rated fuel system and a tvs and proceed to hurt feelings.

That's what I did. Bought a Vert with 75K on the clock and gave it some TLC.

OP, 29K for a Cobra is crazy high right now. I'm on the fence on how I feel about that price though. On one hand it is typical dealership BS pricing and ripping you off on trade in value. On the other hand if Cobras are going for 29K that could be good for me since I own 2 of them .........

Dude without a doubt!!! Finally almost 2 weeks After mustang week I feel that I can hear again. I absolutely hate the sound of a straight piped coyote and there was no shortage of dick swingers down there Reving the piss out of them.

I’m gonna have to add the 5.2 voodoo into that mix as well. I don’t get it, sounds like crap to me... ‍

LOL, I agree that creature comforts are not needed. I have a thread where I ask what people listen to while cruising their Terminator. 90% said the exhaust/supercharger whine. Who needs radios, A/C, electric adjustable seats with heating or cooling, hands free devices when ALL you need is exhaust notes and supercharger whine. Based on those responses 90% of people here should be driving their Cobra everyday. I used to when I first bought it, but like most, wanted to keep the miles off. However, if my DD goes down for maintenance I have no problem daily driving my Cobra until my true DD gets repaired .............

I'll agree that they're not needed, but they are nice. Especially when dealing with traffic and odd weather. I have no issues driving my Cobra multiple times per week. I drove it to work today. However, I enjoy my heated/cooled seats, Bluetooth, etc. in my truck which is my normal daily driver. More than once I've thought about driving the Cobra to work and then realized it was a heavy traffic day or it was going to be close to 100 degrees. I hung up the Cobra keys and jumped into the truck.

I'll add that I daily drove my 01 for close to a decade. From stock up to having a big bore stroker with a D1. It was a fun daily.

100% - it's better then a Coyote, but it's no 2v, 4v, 3v or SBF... let alone a flat-plane Ferrari V8.

Whatever Ford is doing to these engines to make power (Heads), they are butchering the sound. Even the V6 sounds like crap. Ecoboost 4-banger is horrfic when you compare it to a Honda or 4g63.

OP, I had good friend drive my car (2.76 pulley and exhaust) and he had 13 gt with FBO. He sold his gt and bought a 03 Cobra 2 months later. However, it was not is DD.

As others have mentioned coyote cars sound terrible but they do "drive" better. IMO the 03/04 Cobra is a good balance between muscle car feel with modern reliability . There are a handful for members that have over 150K on their cobras.

 

[Piedpiper]

Might just keep my current gt if they dont want to deal, but I did love the yellow termi.

 

[ccq8le]

The Cobra will hold value to the owner...... Issue is the 29,000 Is not a value to a buyer at that price.

I don't think they will fetch that much $ $$$ for that color. The 04 does tend to go for a slight bit more over the 03 but 29 firm is big money.

Keep us posted if they move on it! What are the reasons they are giving you for not moving on their price?

I've had mine for 2 years. Bought from original owner with 33k. Unfortunately, I work alot so I've only put about 2k miles on it. Stays garaged and I tell u what, I get as much satisfaction wiping her down or waxing it as I do driving it. I would trade for a terminator in a heartbeat if I were u... Lol. I've owned a few GTs from different body styles and there is nothing like a termi. I get so much love everywhere I take it. I love driving it, but would definitely not daily it only cause I see it just as much a piece of art as a badass machine. When I do take it out though u better believe I have that bitch screaming!

And 29k is ridiculous. Be patient. I picked mine up from original owner for $19.5k. I shopped around for this color for over a year

Cough—glorified gen 2 coyote—cough—that burns more oil than a 1989 CR500—cough.
