to trade up or not

Baneful · April 25th, 2007, 03:21 PM

I've been looking on ebay at the machs and wondering if I should sell my stang and get a mach before starting to mod. I paid 10k cash for mine and think I could get that back out of it, and am seeing machs going for 16k and up with low miles.

The crank isn't a big deal to me since I am planning on getting a race lb from vt, but the 32 valves over 16 is what is really making me wonder if I shouldn't go for the upgrade.

What do you all think? I have the money to do it so that isn't really an issue, but is it worth the extra cash for a 4v motor?

HMUSN · April 25th, 2007, 03:25 PM

10k for a 03 is a kill.

sell it for 12 and get the 4v

Nice car for sure. I would hop on it, but the problem I have is I am part owner in a trucking company and wont have time to do the sale/ buy untill january. I work 9 mo out of the year and take jan-march off, so having the time to buy the mach now is an issue. I can sign my tital off to a friend of mine to sell it, but wouldn't be able to buy till jan at the earliest (just loose to much $ taking time off this time of year). I hope your friend can sell his for what he wants and it looks like plenty of peeps are interested.

I like the look of the machs. I guess I just need to sell mine and hope there is a nice one available come the beginning of next year.

Anyone around the Vegas area looking for a clean stock 03 GT? hehe

zkid01 · April 25th, 2007, 05:08 PM

Sounds good man.. wish i had that kind of cash.. but military doesnt make it easy. Good Luck!

That is one clean Mach! That is asweet ride. Why is he selling it?

I would upgrade before you invest a lot of money into the GT. Money spent is the number one reason why most people don't upgrade.

Xman · April 25th, 2007, 10:00 PM

wow thats a really clean nice car. i wish i could buy it

amphibrecon · April 26th, 2007, 05:16 PM

Take a look at this cobra I found this on craigslist.com this guy is in Summerlin. BTW I was born and raised in Vegas. i would buy this if it is still available!!!!

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/car/302725635.html

And another....

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/car/298691152.html

I know this is a BULLITT but still looked good!!

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/car/311658785.html

Sorry bro' couldn't find any Mach 1's Good luck, but check into the Cobras

Baneful · April 26th, 2007, 06:16 PM

Thanks for the links Amphibrecon. Before I bought my car I looked in craigslist, autotrader the the reviw journal for like a month and didn't find anything. Now it seems there are some (must be tax time LOL) great choices. That one for 14k is a steal.. And I'm stuck on the east coast till tomorrow and then headed to N cali...

So the 03 04 machs are only 15-10hp off the 99-o1 cobra? Hmm hehe I just love the shaker hood on the Machs, and the fact that not a whole lot of them were made. How many Cobras were made those years? (99-01 since the price jumps so high on the 03-04 ones)

I was going to HS there at chaparral when they were building the 515

zkid01 · April 26th, 2007, 07:24 PM

Hey baneful what part of norcal you heading too? vegas is a quick drive away from there..

That cobra is a insane deal!!!

That third car is no Bullitt. They do not come in that color and they were only made in '01. I'm not sure why he put that.

Yeah I thought it looked kind of strange with the rear spoiler, and wondered why they didn't take a pic of the rear with the BULLITT emblem. Sorry if it its not a BULLITT baneful....DAMN FALSE ADVERTISING!!!

Your welcome, I wish I was still in Vegas then I would buy one of those. I went to ElDog graduated in 89' SUNDEVILS BABY...ELDOG WOO...WOO....WOO..WOO..WOO....ELDOG!!!!!

Baneful · April 27th, 2007, 10:41 AM

Yeah, I'm lucky to get through Vegas every 3 months to get mail. I usually have a load lined up before I drop, and turning one down isn't really the best way to keep a good relationship going with my broker. hehe

I take Jan-march off each year, so it will prob be then before I actually buy something. I'm signing my title off to my bro next time I'm in Vegas so he can sell it for me, but I'll prob have to wait to buy. The Cobra is sweet, but I am hoping to find an 03 or 04 oxford white Mach now. If I find one on Ebay I will prob have to take time off early to go check it out and hopefully get it. The pre-03 Cobras weren't much more hp than the Machs and I like that damn hood scoop on them. I see plenty of Cobras running around, but have seen vary few Machs.

89? Not that far behind me. My class gradded in 86 (feels old now LOL)
Who knows, prob crossed paths there a few times

FordGT08 · April 27th, 2007, 11:47 AM

The numbers they said were off from sold/ production because ford kept some for testing and such?

So even though not as many Cobras were made in 04, there are a lot more overall since Machs only ran for 2 years in the new eadge style.

One cool one to get would be one of the 100 02 cobras they shipped to Australia.
