Should I buy a 2001 Cobra?
 
I love my car more than anything but I came upon a 2001 Cobra for sale today. It has about 85,000 mile on it though, but it is in perfect condition and hasn't been raced. I think the price is pretty good, but I don't know for sure. I think he wants around 13,000 for it!! Tell me what you guys think!!

go for it...is it convertible?

macs03GT 05-02-2006 02:20 AM

i say no.....but that's just me. Why get a car with 80+k on it when you can just save an extra 7 or 8k and get an 03 next year with less miles on it. I would rock what you got for now, and then in a year when prices go down, get something that's gunna be a lot faster than that 01.

What color is it?

Badfish 05-02-2006 07:17 AM

85 k on the clock? um no

White04GT 05-02-2006 07:36 AM

wayyyy toomany miles for me personally..

FritoBandito 05-02-2006 07:41 AM

id pass on it unless you got it for 11k. Does retail for around 14k tho.

FullThrottleStang 05-02-2006 12:42 PM

It is a White Coupe, its already lowered about 1" 3/4 but other than that it is in perfect shape that I can tell. The mile do scare me though because I know if I get it that I will be adding gears and going to the track. It looks really good but I would much rather have an 03 or 04 Cobra! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

I posted a picture in the Picture Section of what the Cobra would look like! I really want that car. It is not the one I might buy but what I would do to it. GO CHECK IT OUT!!

There's your reason NOT to buy this car. You'll be wishing you waited and saved a little longer for the 03.

madmatt 05-02-2006 06:21 PM

Skip it, I was in the same situation last week myself. Was going to get a white 03 Mach, but decided I wouldnt be happy without a cobra. So, thats what Im doing.

Red99GT 05-02-2006 06:56 PM

yea if you really want a cobra, save for the best.. you'll always regret settling for the 01

Mug11 05-02-2006 07:23 PM

no.... buy me one

New Edge 05-03-2006 06:06 PM

Geez bashing the 01 cobra today are we? i belive mostly stock GT's are considered less than a cobra?

85.000=way to many, youll be rebuilding soon at that mileage, its not worth it, save up for an 03, the 01 is quick..... i cant imagine an 03.....

GREG@94GT 05-03-2006 06:15 PM

if you can afford it

DarkShadow04 05-04-2006 01:56 PM

just do it

nothing gets bashed more than my auto project red headed stepchild....except maybe an auto non-PI stang (no offense to those who own one) lol

lizardbreath 05-05-2006 12:11 PM

guys I have an 01 cobra and that car is the ****. I can't even imagine having an 03 cobra mustang....geez guys. Go ahead and get it if you want...but don't pay more than 15k for it.

jjtgiants 05-05-2006 12:37 PM

Try looking at an 03/04 Mach 1....stock for stock it's a better car than the 01 cobra....a little faster also. I'm not bias I swear :beerchug:
