03 Cobra vert with salvage title.

gragra73 · March 15th, 2011, 09:40 AM

I found an 03 Cobra Vert for $13,900. It does have a salvage title but no frame or unibody damage. The fenders and bumper was damaged but reparied. Here is the link to the car. Would you buy it?

the black on the doors ruins it for me.

The passenger side air bag doesnt look like it was put back in very well.

If i were going to buy a termi i think i would want one with a clean title. Unless it was an amazing deal.

as long as there fixed right salvage title cars doen scare me, i own two right now with zero problems

would I? yea...

but Id add another grand to that to fix the black on the doors. that looks like shit IMO.

i guess getting cars fixed doesnt scare me that much casue i deal with body shops every day and they give me good rates

just on of the perks of my job

Was the car hit on the passenger side? The third to last picture, it doesn't look like the door gap between the front fender and door is exactly the same. Also as someone mentioned, passenger airbag is FUBARed.

If it was me, I would get under there with a tape measure and measure the sides and diagonals of the subframe to make sure it's not tweaked. While body repair isn't a big deal, I personally would only buy a vehicle w/ a straight frame.

Measuring is always a good idea, even without a salvage title.

But with the doors and salvage title I think you can talk him down some. I've seen non-salvage vert termis around the same price, and salvage title should be a little lower than that.

The hood looks crooked in the front shot too, again pass side looks messed up.

Lol at the engine bay with the misplaced intercooler reservoir and that TINY intake filter.

gragra73 · March 15th, 2011, 12:25 PM

Thanks for replies. I didn't notice those major blemishes.

I can live with the paint design. I may take look at it and see just how bad or good it looks in person.

Jobra · March 15th, 2011, 09:08 PM

I'm dehydrated from all the throwing up I have just done from seeing that car for about 4 seconds.

That sonic blue one you posted about is much better. Fuck the salvage title and gay paint job.

tommy93 · March 15th, 2011, 09:10 PM

even if this car wasnt salvage, i still wouldnt buy it...

97Dustang · March 15th, 2011, 10:57 PM

or for just a bit more you could buy my clean title 03 cobra vert

SAGE · March 16th, 2011, 08:27 PM

Def too much on a salvage, ruins any kind of resale potential, I would stay away.

gragra73 · March 16th, 2011, 08:29 PM

I will stay away. I found a few other potential buys. Heck even 03/04 MACH1s have caught my attention.
