Re: Just bought a 95 cobra for my wife
It is mechanically sound and needs what I consider to be alot of minor body work , the car has no structure damage , all of it is cosmetic , a little time and good paint job and this car will bring atleast 4 times what I paid for it
My wife is going to use it as a daily driver so its not really a big deal what you guys think it is or isnt worth
I have had guys on corral PM me wanting to buy it as is for double what I paid so to each is own with the opinions , I see not much has changed over here since I was last here
and just incase anybody cares ,even though it is one of 4005 coupes , this car is one of 110 rio red with black cloth , they made 250 cobra Rs

I agree. If you're getting offers for twice what you paid as it sat the day you bought it.. then just fix it up and sell it for 30 grand

Re: Just bought a 95 cobra for my wife
What book value is and what people are willing to pay are two completely different things.
Cobra's are highly inflated as far as value is concerned. I wouldn't have bought that Cobra for anything more then 2,000$. Buying a 95 5.0 is pointless really when the 96-98 are a much better platform. If you're going 5.0 then I'd choose a Fox body at that point.
Oh and yes I've owned a 95 5.0 Cobra as well.

Confused ? LOL , ok I was just posting that for comparison. I perfectly understand the difference between a cobra and a cobra R these cars sell for over book value everyday. The fact that its a cobra and has such low miles means I could sell the vin plates and dash cluster for what I paid for this car , not to mention the drivetrain

Re: Just bought a 95 cobra for my wife
Cars just really aren't my thing anymore. I test drove a Vert C6 yesterday and enjoyed it but it reminded me just why I wouldn't own a car like that ever again.
