Default Gonna buy a cobra

I'm looking to pick up a an 00-04 cobra, and I found one today at a dealership going for $31 900 cdn with 50k kms on it (30k miles). It's got magnaflow exaust on it and a tall spoiler. I'm not sure about the spoiler but the original one comes with it. Is that a good deal or should I try to get something a little lower?

I've been wanting to get one but I'm thinking I should wait out the bad weather before I go ahead and put in a down payment. I'm not going to drive it at all until the spring when all the bad weather clears up. Maybe by then the price will go down too, but I also run the risk of not getting a chance to buy it. Or should I pick it up now and park it for the next 6 months?

Is it just me or does it have a V6 Rear bumper. Shouldn't it have cut outs for the exhaust on a V8?

That spoiler is not stock unless its a CObra R.

I noticed the rear bumper too. Maybe the previous owner changed it or added side exhaust but, I could not see that in the photo. I could not see the front either. Couldn't tell if there was a chin spoiler or not. If by chance it is a Cobra R, it is a bargain.

Let me know if you find a 2000 or 2002 Cobra. I'd love to see pics. Not too many around, Ohio.

I'll slap an ugly wing, Cobra badges, V6 bumper, and generic wheels on my car and sell it to you! Make ya a great deal

That's because there is no such thing as a 2002 Cobra

It's just the wing I was referring to. I did some searching and the wing originally came on the 00 cobra R. I'm guessing the car is an 03-04, it's supercharged and had the hood found on the 03-04 models.

But I'm going to hold off on it for a while. No point in buying it now, I'll wait till the spring.

it does have a V6 bumper (stock on 00 cobra Rs, note side exhaust), and from the looks of it that really really looks like a 00 Cobra R. big spoiler, V6 rear bumper, side exhaust, 00 R wheels, matching taillights with the orange square. (could just be a 99,01 cobra with R body kit and exhaust)

does it have a radio? on the passenger side fender where the antenna is supposed to be, is there just a black plastic plate? are you sure its supercharged. the intake on those somewhat resembles a supercharger but it really has a huge plentum that reads COBRA down the middle. does the shifter have a 6 speed pattern? and does it have a back seat? unless that isnt even a pic of the car.

Guys, I found that pic off the internet. I needed it for the picture of the wing. I later did some research and found that wing is stock on a cobra r. The one that I'm looking at is an 03 cobra with the wing.

The picture looks exactly like a 2000 Cobra R, which all had the V6 bumper, and that wing, and that color, and that side exhaust.

The actuall car you are looking at at the lot is probally an 03 or 04, because they are the only supercharged Cobras from the factory.

The Cobra R wing was a very popular upgrade to the 03/04 Cobras when they first came out.

But 31,000$ is way to much to pay for any Cobra in that year range, a 03/04 with under 20k miles should run 26-27 grand tops.

Did you know that when Chuck Norris does push ups, he doesnt push himself up, he pushes the world down!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also did you know that Chuck Norris's tears cure all cancers, too bad he never crys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he was being funny, Everybody knows there is no 02 Cobra and only about three hundred 2000 Cobra R's made, so good luck finding them.

Chuck Norris has two of them, one for each arm.
