2003 KB Cobra, 14K Miles....yeah yeah

Yup, this is a price is right thread.

So is the price right for this car at $24,500?

14K miles, barely enough to beat on it badly. Second owner has not taken it to the strip. First owner has but only up to 9K miles or so.

Oh, I could beat a car to within an inch of its life in about 15 miles.

Nice car - not worth the price (IMO)

+1 The 16k miles I put on the C5Z I owned were the most unbelievably violent miles ever put onto one car in the 14 months I owned it.

lol, you guys always say a car isn't worth it and yet every stockish low mile GTO is worth 20K+

Anyways, the guy is throwing in a set of drag wheels w/ unused tires and SCT X3 tuner.


BTW, I could get a low mile stock Cobra for 19-20 but then I would dump 5K plus into to get it to the same level as this car...so it ends up a wash...but keep the opinions flowing...I'll marinade on it.

So true.

Do it.... 03/04 Cobras are one of the baddest cars on the road (Regardless of what people say here)

A stockish low mile 06 GTO - MIGHT be worth 20. This car's worth maybe 22 - its a great car, but it ain't worth 26.

go for it

It is $24,500 not $26...just FYI

As far as price versus what you get would you all consider this to be a better value at $30K?

The rarity of the car, along with the quality (and extensiveness) of the mod list makes this car EASILY worth that. And anyone who doesn't agree, probably should go tell several of the guys selling their modded GTOs in the FS section that their cars aren't "worth it" then either.

Absolutely.

I'm worried about the rear end and stubs/shafts on that vette given the power it makes.

And it is $5,500 more than the cobra.

Point 'em out! I'll tell them they're full of shit too

I would agree, if only because that's what stock low mile '02-'03 Z06's still go for in Florida.

For that matter, Terminators still go for mid twenties anyway.

You'll be surprised how much dick a Vette can take lol

Replacement parts aren't ridiculous, nor do they need to be replaced often.

What kind of 1/4 times would that car run pushing 600/630rwhp?

That car is sick. I'd pay $20k for it but $25k is C6 territory.

As a person that also travels within the modular Mustang crowd.The price sounds well within what I would expect as an asking price.

The Cobras still command a pretty good price. By comparison, I know of an 07 S197 with a forged stroker and twin turbos making over 700whp on pump gas. All the suspension goodies and supporting modifications.

His car sold for 23k. Just to give you a hint of what alternatives exist if it's a boosted Mustang with gobs of potential you crave.

The only thing that concerns me a bit about that car is that he is still running the IRS. They just don't hold up very well with that kind of power. This tells me it may indeed have been kept off the track and driven rationally. Just a theory, not a declaration.

Nice looking Cobra. Good luck. PM me if you need help with any questions.

I'm running 10's with that kind of power in my 06 GT. The Cobra in this post has the power, but I don't know that IRS would allow you to get the most out of it at the track.

I prefer IRS over SRA....I've bounced around plenty of curves due to bumps in a road that an SRA could not handle.

Vette Tax.

And sweet looking tax.

That's too much for a Ford........

That's fine, but what I am telling you is that there is a good reason modified Cobras run SRA's. I wasn't pointing it out as a matter of preference, but rather as something to consider before you buy it.

Typically, it's because the IRS goes boom at some point around those power levels. I would be very leary of that IRS living to tell the tale of 5k rpm launches.

a car that old with that few of miles = alot of 'joy' rides to me

I'd rather have one with 75K on it so you know the bugs are worked out and it wasn't joy ridden all its life... plus its been modded to hell and back

I would buy it.......

The car is awesome! Looks so sexy. One thing that drives me away is that interior...

The car is worth it. A lot of fun mods too. =]

Good point........

I usually take a Dramamine tablet before I drive mine to combat the nauseating interior.

Sure the car pulls like a freight train, but when you glance around the cockpit you are left with a sinking feeling no amount of horsepower can help.

Sad but true......... run away.... run away
