okay guys, so ive decided to just trade my old 96 in and get the 99-04 body style which i like better anyway. im going tomorrow to orlando to look at a 2004 5 speed v6 with 43k miles on it. its blue with smoke gray/black interior and they are asking 12k for it. what should i expect to get out of my vehicle for a trade in and also what should i look for on this car as far as whats wrong with it before i buy it. considering that i am driving two fucking hours to go look at it lol and what do you guys consider a decent finance percentage rate?? Appreciate all info peeps!

i think that 12k it crazy
you cpuld get a gt for that

[Orangester]

12k is way too much.

They're selling an orange 04 GT here for 14k.
Low miles, perfect.

I wish I had the money....I always wanted an orange gt..

[MustanG_guy17]

I wouldn't pay 12k for an 2004 with 40k+.

[1Clean6]

For that price, I'd sell you my cammed 03 V6 5 speed with 19k miles on it.

Rims, lowered, cobra front, gt rear, exhaust, cam, etc...

^ these guys are right man.. it's 2 much money to pay for a 6er.. you can find a 98 Cobra for that much pretty easily..

[Avaric3]

if youre gonna spend that much, go buy a 99 cobra or a gt or something faster than a v6

you wont find a 99 cobra for 12k unless it has a shit ton of mileage on it....remember that the cobras are a numbered vehicle.

[HMUSN]

my buddy just sold a 99 Cobra for 10k flat and it wasn't high mileage

just keep your eye out

[shadow5403]

i guess it all depends on where ya live to.

[HMUSN]

believe it of not it was sold out of San Diego.. lol

[3.8Coastie]

ill believe it of not doc

[HMUSN]

^ check the e=mc^ 2 thread

search local forums and svtp, i see cobras going for 11-14k all the time there

[shadow5403]

id rather a 03/04 mach1....the 99-02 cobras arent worth buyin imo

[lwhitetrash88l]

okayso whats a fair price range then guys?

[Avaric3]

but any mach youll find will be at least 5k more than an equal mileage 99/01 cobra. the cobra is just an axle swap and 3.55 gears away from running the same times as a mach anyways

[98mustang]

I would go for more like 9k at most, print out some auto trader reports and such of cobras going for that price and be like here dude! Im not paying no 12K for a slow ass V6!!!

yeah but the revised heads on the 03/04 are pretty much the second best head available for that engine.....that makes it much more worth it. And for a 3 or 4 year newer car.....5k more to spend on it is worth it....less age on the vehicle.....thats how i think atleast
