Hey.. question for everyone: Given two identical Mustangs, one w/ subs and one w/out, which one would you buy?

[GTRaptor]

The one that has been more cared for

Subs are cheap.

[Cobra_Lynx]

cheap, yes, but would you rather buy a car that has them, or doesn't?

[1QWKSVT]

I look at it two way's. What all has been done or was done to the car with the sub-frame conn. It could have been beaten on. If eveything checks out to be good the one with the sub-frame conn. could have less squeeks and rattles to deal with and it's one less mod to have to do later.

[Twister]

Subframe connectors really do not effect the price of the car, so I would get the one in better over all condition

[Cobra_Lynx]

So the concensus so far is that they're a desireable thing to have, provided the car wasn't flogged? -Jim

[Cobra_Lynx]

I'll amplify a little: The situation is, is that my '03 Cobra will be arriving in March. I'm considering a set of subs simply for the sake of keeping the frame straight, as I don't plan on racing it until its paid for. My concern is that having them installed - rather permenantly - will hurt its resale value should I have to sell it. Y'know? -Jim

[Twister]

Cobra, the only way that it will hurt is if you plan to sell it now...or keep it in the garrage collecting dust

[Cobra_Lynx]

So you don't think that someone out to buy an entirely original Cobra would mind? Jim

[1QWKSVT]

I wouldn't mind. Think about it a New 03 Cobra with that much power could easily tweak the Unibody of a Mustang if you could hook that thing up! I would look at it as a plus. I know how I would drive one

[ScottHalliday]

Adding sub frames should not diminish the resell value providing it does not show abuse and you maintain it in good condition. I would consider good quality subframes a plus. As 1QWKSVT pointed out, the power of a new 03 Cobra Mustang could possibly tweak the Unibody. IMO why take the chance.
