LOL, yeah. . . That's overpriced. You could probably talk them way down, I would rather get like an 03 GT for around the same price with low miles. 114000 on a car like that? Not so much.

I've also seen em cheaper with less miles. Craigslist "cobra" under autos and lots should pop up in your area unless you live in BFE.

Thanks for the all the input. Eventually I would like a 93 or 03 Cobra. This one is on a lot close to home. For the right price it's ok but not as advertised...

3 years ago I bought my 99 Cobra with 74k miles and a good bit of suspension work. I paid $12500. I'd say it's overpriced, unless it's a true Saleen(you never know, sometimes the lister has no clue wat they are listing).

(EDIT) What is the Saleen trim? The vinyl? Thats all I see now that I look at it.

I bought my 95 about four years ago with 45,000 mile on it for 10 grand.

That cobra you got there is over priced and
it has a 4:30 rear end gears in it?
I dont know about you but that's a little bit of over kill!!!

I bought my 1997 Cobra last September for $8,500. It was a stock 1-owner with a clean carfax report. The deals are out there, just got to find them.

I would think about 8500 on that at most. I spent allot of time looking for mine and priceing allot of them. There is a 96 by me green with 42,000 miles. Pretty much stock besides rims and exahust. In dang near perfect condition as a car lot and there asking 10,500 and I'm sure there only expecting some where around 9000-9500.

I think its a tad high for what your getting. I paid 9500 for my 94 Cobra with 80k on chassis only about 3k on a highly modified motor as well as the car being in near perfect condition.
