im thinking 12 or 13k would be a better price...

Thats a little much for a cobra, especially because its not even 100% stock. The svo skirts just bring the price down IMO.

That car is in orbit!!

For some reason, I get the feeling it will be for sale... For a long time. :confused1:

With as hard to find as teh official SVO are I would disagree, but I do not see the SVO logo on those. Either way for a person that wants side-pipes, it is worth extra and there are more then a few. I get asked about mine all the time....

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

Everybody thinks they have gold. This ia a 10-12k car max.

 

[Gallows]

I'd pay the 10-12K fast but 20K is a bit insane.

 

[OnyxCobra]

I think it's worth more than 10k just cause 2700 miles is hella low. Would be better stock, but its still super low mileage.

 

[DropTopPony]

For me its not worth that price but if someone wants a under 3000mile Cobra to drive a few miles a year and keep garaged there might be a buyer.

As we say in the car biz, there is a sucker born every minute and no price is too high if you can find 1 person to pay it.

Sweet, he probably paid $26,000+dealer markup for that car when it was new 14 years ago, drove it 2000 miles during that period, and is now gonna maybe get half the MSRP price for it. Sounds like a complete waste of money to me. Should be a nice pick-up though if you can get it for under 15.

 

[Javi]

Get a Termy instead.

I don't remember them being enough in demand that there were markups like on the current GT500's. The one I looked at in 96 the dealer was trying to get full sticker which was @ 31k IIRC and actually sold before I made up my mind to buy another Mustang.

We need a designated "dumbass Ad thread" for this stuff, I found these 2004 termy wheels... yah be the judge of what's wrong with this ad

The amount of markup is kinda a moot point. Dealers shouldn't be making a lot of money on new cars anyway. Selling a brand new Cobra for $31k that MSRP's for 26, is a hell of a markup. Maybe not to what we're used to with the GT500, but if a dealer makes any more than $1000 on a brand new car after dealer expenses, they're making far more than they should be.

Why do you think a dealer should not make more then $1000 on a new car?
You do know that when you go to your local Ford Dealership its not actually owned by Ford but an Independent Company who pays Ford a fee to sell its product and use its names/logos etc.
That ownership group should be able to make as much profit as they can since they are shelling out the money to keep the franchise running.
Supply and Demand, capitalism at its best.

He may get it.. I sold our 96 cobra vert with 22xxx miles for 13.5k in november..

 

[EastBayStang98]

u can get a termi for that price

 

[94 DropTop]

NADA states 11,300 for clean retail. I did it on a 98 cobra but it shouldnt matter. That will never sell

Selling new cars isn't what keeps the dealerships afloat, its reselling used cars. New cars bring people to the lots, and help with some sales, but the big money is in used cars.

I know someone that works support for one of the major dealership software programs which gives a lot of inside information on dealership sales. There aren't many new cars out there that dealerships make a decent amount of money on.
