I cant see paying 12500 for a 95 cobra man. Im sorry, its just not worth it, supercharged or not. You have to decide if its worth it to you. Im also wary of buying a car thats already supercharged, as you have no idea how it was treated, tuned, run, etc. Just my opinion. I know Im always negative on these finds of yours, but hopefully ill convince you to make the right decision.

I WOULD NOT BUY THAT CAR BECAUSE...

A. all those mods, it was probably beat, raced hard, maybe not mechanicly sound, not a dependable car (unless you just want it for the track)
B. It is not worth that much... imagine you buy it, an d god forbid, it somehow gets totaled... that car is only worth 4 grand if that... you will lose a TON of $$$


never pay more then a car is worth... its just a v ery very bad idea... especially if its a race car... he's prolly sellin it cause its nearing death...

And people will say anything to sell a car... they are lying garbage scum bags and CANNOT BE TRUSTED... I assur youe... 80% of people selling cars are no good... so research anything and everything before you buy a car... they are the worst investments you can make...

And with my pops being a retired trooper, he has told me countless bull**** that people have done and he locked em up for when they sold a car...

Be careful...
Research
and dont jump on a car
good luck buddy...

If you need a vin # looked up... PM it to me and I'll have my pops look it up for you... he has access to not only car fax... but the government carfax type thing...

I wouldn't do it. Before I got my car, I found a 97 Cobra (supercharged, cammed, etc. Was putting around 450rwhp) and only had 55k miles. They wanted $11,900 for it and I almost bought it. But for some strange reason the dealer straight up told me this (word for word as best as I can remember)

"Well there are 2 things I have to tell you about this car. 1 it use to be red, now is black but they did a very professional job in painting it". Which was true, I had no idea of the color change (door jambs and everything was perfect. "The second thing I have to tell you is, I have never seen this car being driven on the road. Every time I have seen it go by it was on a trailer on the way to the track". That's what turned me off from the car. 55k miles all 1/4 mile at a time (it was a 1 owner).....I don't think so!

That's the bad thing about buying a car with a power adder, you know it's been abused. And if someone says "yeah, it's supercharged but not abused" they are full of BS, you put those on for one reason!

I specifically bought my GT because of the low miles... and it had not a SINGLE mod done to it, it was leased to an older guy or something who put around 5k miles on it a year... lol so it was only driven in the better months up here... would never want a car that was prolly beat on... question WHY he is parting with it...
