price check 1994 cobra

My opinion.
1. Miles mean nothing because we all know that in the first year or two it will have all parts rebuilt or replaced with bigger/better.
2. Too much money, that car is about as slow as molasses going up a tree in January. ...see number 1. Replace stuff to bring it up to a fun level.
3. You can get a decent car for closer to 2500-5000 and make it what you want. ..again, refer to number 1.
4. It will never ever gain value. You will be putting money in it to make it fun...Welp, you guessed it...see number 1 again.
5. Unless your an older individual who really wants a car to just leave alone and not touch it, well, its up to you as what you want. But for most of us, we date back to number 1.

Please take In mind that was my opinion and not a smart assed reply. A normal GT can be turned onto a cobra for next to nothing. I would take that fox you have and dump a couple grand in to it and have a serious screamer!!

Wick, I don't think you are a smart ass your just looking at it differently than me. I was going to buy a new car for a daily driver but I can buy an older Cobra that is very close to new for a lot less and have driver that should last for years.
1. Miles are everything. Every mile that is on the car is one less mile I will get to run out of it.
2. To much money,,, See above number 1
3. Buy a cheaper one and make what you want.. I want a stock driver. And building one can get expensive. See number 2
4. never gain value,, How much will I loose when I drive a new one off the lot?
Probably more than I'm paying for this one. Priced a new Gt or Cobra Jet?
5. Yes OK I'm getting old but I prefer to think of it as well seasoned
Some of us get old and then some of us just get aged
6. Put a little money in the fox and make it a screamer? See below I got it covered

At $12,000 for new or nearly new Cobra would be like buying a new car for $200 a month for 5 years
How much are payments on new Cobra Jet or a base GT? Or 2 1/2 years for $400 month
The car you see below has been ran year round (yes I have had to put chains on it to get up the mountain) And taken it out of state and back all the time -- about 300 miles to Summit made the trip many times 21.4 MPG 70-75 mph with the A/C this is the daily driver I'm replacing. I'm ready for a all stock driver

Well, I see you have covered number 1 in an interesting manner. I like it!!

You have made some good points for yourself here. Almost sounds as if you have talked yourself into buying it. Its what each person wants. Like you said, it was just my view on it.

Soooo, when you picking it up?
