There is a 96 Cobra for sale near me.
White on Black Leather
96K Miles
The Good:
Nice looking car
S-281 wing
Has some mods done (Flowmaster catback, BBK LTs, BBK off road H-pipe), Might have gears, MSD Coil Pack, BBK Cold Air intake
Chrome 17" Cobra R replica wheels.
The not so good:
*Was involved in a front end collision a few years ago. Seems to be a good repair. But from what I inspected it seems the hood, front clip, rad support and fenders were replaced.
*Pitting on the chrome cobra R wheels (will definately have to get them refurbished or replace them)
*Was winter driven for a cpl years (so some surface rust on the under-body, doesnt seem like it has ever been oil sprayed)
*Throw-out bearing seems to be on its way out
*Engine has a ticking noise (my guess its a lifter)
*The harmonic balancer pulley seems odd....(almost looks like an 03/04 Cobra pulley) which is making me question this motors past life...
*Right-side fender needs a re-alignment, cant open the passenger door
*Passenger side cylinder head spit out a spark plug some months back and was repaired (This repair was done at the shop I work at, and was done with a time-sert repair)
Owner is ok for letting it go for $7,000 CDN....but I think it can be sold for less.....
My question to you folks is....A) is this car worth it or worth a lower $ amount (I definately think its worth much lower than $7K)? Or it this car a lemon (based on the not so good qualities) and I should be shot for even thinking about?
I myself am leaning towards option B. But would like your opinions.
