Thoughts on this eBay find

DeepList · May 21, 2013

I am seriously considering this car:

I have $23K set aside that I was going to drop on the principle of my house, but after finding this on eBay last night, I am seriously considering a reevaluation on where that money is going to go.

Thoughts on it?

It still has 3 days left in the sale. It'll be over 20K when the auction ends, I can guarantee that.

Keep your eyes peeled on it.... you may be surprised. I have seen 40 thousand mile 600whp termis sell on svtp for 16 grand. I'm talkin long tubes, slammed, tinted, the works.

10th anniversary no less. shame what they did with the side skirts and those weird hood stripes.

I contacted him and offered to trade my car + $9k in cash and he said no. He then told me that he's had offers outside of eBay as high as $23K that he's declined. meh...

Yes, it's a 03 Cobra but to me it looks weird. Side skirts, hood, those stripy thingies over the side scoop?

Can people just do everything to a 03/04 Cobra and still catch top dollar for it? Seems weird.

If I did end up getting it, all that "weird" shit would come off immediately.

not sure i buy the whole never been raced thing after how it's built and those wheels but who knows, could just be a huge poser. I don't really care for the visual mods done to it but those should be easy to fix assuming nothing under them is messed up.

Get the house. You can get a project later

I've got the house already. We've been here for 5 years now... it's a matter of taking my money and dropping it on the principle to pay the mortgage off faster, or putting it towards the car.

Yeah, I'm probably going to pass. When I offered him my car plus $9k and he refused, I knew at that point, he's expecting and arm and a leg for it. I'd rather stick to my plan of getting a cobra roller and building it anyway.

Lol @ the SRA 33 spline rear swap and never been raced.

But minus the ricey parts on the outside, it looks like a very clean car.

Pay the house off first. Just think what you can get after the house is payed off. No house payment = a bad ass car later

Very true. I'm on a 30 year mortgage and I'm currently 5 years into it. If I took the 23K and dropped it completely on the principle of the house, it would knock 17 years off the loan instantly, leaving only 8 years left... given that I only made the minimum payment from that point forward.
