01' cobra for $15k... lookin for a good cai

006leenstang00 · January 12th, 2008, 02:03 PM

Hey guys i'm about to buy a 01' cobra over here in bahrain for $15k... its only got 36,000 miles on it..garage kept.. just drove it today and fell in love...the thing is so damn smooth! so much power too.. so much more than my 6er... It's got a hurst short shifter, and magnaflow cat back... and 17 in chrome cobra r rims.. but as soon as i buy it i'm getting a CAI for it.. and I wanna know what you cobra people have as CAI's and which one is the best power gainer(even though they don't give that much i'll take a little more!!LOL)... well let me know!!

Montanasvt · January 12th, 2008, 02:13 PM

JLT makes about the best intake for all mustangs... i have a dense charger CAI intake on my 01 Cobra right now, but when i get my taxes back im going to put a JLT on it...go with the JLT

006leenstang00 · January 12th, 2008, 02:35 PM

hey have you had any problems on ur cobra since you've had it? the one i'm buyin has $36k miles on it.. any problems i should expect or check b4 i actually buy it?

Montanasvt · January 12th, 2008, 02:41 PM

i've had mine for about 3 months... it had 22,000 miles and i paid 18,500...Full exhaust, intake, dyno tune, and a lot of suspension work...sounds like you are getting a good deal on yours with the mods on it... i havent had anything wrong with mine except my 3rd gear whines pretty loud... i've talked to people and they've said thats normal and even the original owner said its done it ever since he bought it and even had warranty look at it...these cars run stout and dont have many problem from what i've heard and experienced...SVT vehicles are built very well... you should get it

Smoothgrandmama · January 12th, 2008, 02:42 PM

hmmmm 15k seems like a bit much for a 01 Cobra......

You could get an 03-04 mach 1 for 17-18........

But JLT is The Best when it Comes to CAI's

Ummmm do you really have a turbonater on Your Car?

006leenstang00 · January 12th, 2008, 02:54 PM

i looked on kbb and its worth about $18k so i think i'm getting a deal.. and the only reason this guy is selling the car is b/c he can't afford the gas and insurance back in the states and he's getting stationed back in the states in 5 months so he wants to get rid of it b4 he leaves!

and yes i have a turbonator on my car..it sounds rediculous but it gives me a few more miles to the gallon of gas/mile! laugh all u want!!lol

whtpny · January 12th, 2008, 02:54 PM

on a serious note.. jlt is consistently rated highly because of how its made vs alot of competitors who like to use shiny metal tubing to sell the product.. kinda hard to have a good cold air intake when what it's made out of is a HEAT CONDUCTOR.. lol.. good luck man

on a side note..

turbonators are teh best new mod on the inturwebz... i have 3 installed sequentially and last dyno i got 743 hauspowa at teh flywheel.. i also ordered teh stage 2 upgrade for them for more powa.. it includes a nice shiny oil cap and a really kewl quarter panel decal.. good for about 7 hauspowa they say

Smoothgrandmama · January 12th, 2008, 03:40 PM

I don't know Where You are but Here That Cobra is only Valued @ $13,545 (I tend To find KBB to be overpriced most of the time)

i think it is a fair deal i had to pay 22 thou for my gt to get it just the way i want it( lincoln nebraska sucks for car prices), and mustangs r at the top of them all just buy it if you like it and dont look back over a few years you wont notice the price in the payment so who cares

weems · January 12th, 2008, 04:18 PM

yeah dude if you want it and you think its a fair price then get it, i have people tell me i payed too much for my car all the time...

GTblackprodigy · January 12th, 2008, 05:17 PM

15k sounds too much..or maybe its just me..what are the specs of the 01 cobras?..i was going to buy a 03 cobra few months back for 20 k..didnt have the funds so i passed on it

cobraetti · January 12th, 2008, 05:41 PM

15k is not too much, buy it and watch all the typical 2v envy. I have a bbk cai looks good

I paid about that with more miles(car in mint condition) location has a lot to do with it

cobramac · January 12th, 2008, 07:42 PM

i love cobra, but you should check this post out. not to mention there are several other little things wrong with the irs (mainly bushings)
ford whoops.... my bad. COBRA OWNERS NEED TO READ!!

Mustang RacR94 · January 12th, 2008, 07:47 PM

thats a damn good price on the 01 cobra if the mileage is right, not a fan of how the 99/01 cobra front ends look, but there still nasty cars

Montanasvt · January 12th, 2008, 11:06 PM

KBB doesnt take in the factor of how rare a car is...i paid 18,500 for mine and i dont feel the least bit ripped off...
