HMUSN, so i could offer him more, i have no issues with that, just was looking for a resonable ballpark figure!!

HMUSN · April 8th, 2008, 12:19 PM

thats around what they run 22-25k
and up depending on mods/miles

bigbadwollfff04 · April 8th, 2008, 12:29 PM

excellent, the miles are high like 75k and mods are only exhaust and cold air intake, i looked at it last nite, he wants to trade it in on a new 500, so thats why i was thinking 16k for an offer, you know of engine problems or anything?? i am in the dark when it comes to these cars!

HMUSN · April 8th, 2008, 12:31 PM

the 03 Cobras had
the head tick (not really a big deal) and the tsb on the gas pedal sticking but that's about it.
it truly is an amazing car.

bigbadwollfff04 · April 8th, 2008, 12:35 PM

excellent, going to bank tonight to take out another car loan, the joy of toys, thanks for the information, if anyone else has input would be greatly appreciated too, now i will have to sell my 04 Mustang GT!!

i personally wouldnt offer him 22 for it. I would start at 18 and work my way up from there.

+1 Iwas thikig 19, but Weems is right. You can always go up. Apply for a loan for about 24. That way if you go up you can still buy it.

Check for the head tick before you buy it. If you wanna get the head tick fixed and its outa warranty you are gonna need new heads. If it doesn't have the tick, do the cooling mod as soon as you can.

Not true. I browse around for these cars on a regular basis and I've seen a hanfull with 70+K miles going for $19-20K.

I would offer this guy $16K (the worst he will say is no, and you may get lucky and he'll take the offer...doubtfull though) and go from there. I wouldn't pay more than $19K. The price on these cars is starting to drop, and if you look hard enough you can find one with under 50K miles with a $22K asking price.

droppedbass87 · April 8th, 2008, 09:27 PM

so will he even sell it to you??and yeah start from 17 and 18..

HMUSN · April 8th, 2008, 09:27 PM

^ buy me one please

bigbadwollfff04 · April 9th, 2008, 11:16 AM

yeah i am waiting for the phone call from the bank, and from him to talk to him about it tonight, i am gonna start at 17k and go no higher then 18500, see what happens!!

And i will listen for the heads ticking, and if it does i will offer him 16k!

futureMACH1racer · April 9th, 2008, 01:45 PM

if i can recall the head tick on some of the machs it wasn't an issue to be concerned about. The head mod is a benefit, but not mandatory. It was piston slap, correct? Correct me if you will please.
