I 'm just looking around right now,, i've been watching e-bay a lot and there's some steals there,, but not really wanting to buy like that,, just wondering who's sellin and what your asking, thanx

I would sell mine, its a 2003 red convertable, with only 21 k on it. I think I owe like 29 on it but would sell it for 27500 or so. Im not openly selling it but I would entertain a serious offer. The car drive awsome. I live north massachusetts, cloe to canada. I believe thats where your from I could be wrong. the car is in excellent condition, always garaged...im a neat freak.

Ive got a twin turbo with 3000miles...will sell for $45k...lots of extra's

SpikeMT · 12-19-2005, 10:56 PM

I am a car dealer and I baught my 2003 Cobra Convertable on Ebay, for myself. We didnt go through Ebay but worked out a deal after his auction ended.

It worked out great. He owed about 30k...I gave him 24k and we went to his bank. We paid it off together and I walked away with the title and the car

Simple.

The Cobra only has 13k miles and it already has an aftermarket exhaust. The car is like new...

Not everyone has 24k in cash(bank check) to plop down but I have baught many cars/trucks/jeeps using Ebay. I have never gone through the auction. We always come to terms before or after the bidding ends.

My findings: Other dealers tend to be liars. The general public is much more honest. I paid 9k for a Wrangler one time...I met them about 3hrs away(we met in the middle), pulled over on the highway...signed the paperwork, gave them the bank check and I was off...no test drive...the Jeep was as described. Simple...easy. All my experiences with the public has been easy and simple like this. But I make it easy as well...I tell them, if it is described right, I will buy the car. I won't beat on the price or nit-pic when I get there. Simple and Easy...thats my motto.

Two times I made deals with Dealerships and the cars were not what they were suppose to be. I went 6hrs to pick up a Porsche 911(for myself), it was all repainted...etc I asked them if it had ever been painted...they said no. I drove 6 hrs home without my Porsche..lol. So I baught a 2001 Cobra and fell in love

Sold it though...

I went to buy a 03 Cobra(from Ebay) from a dealer...drove 5.5hrs. I pay for the car and as I drive away the car's rear end was blown! Turned around and got my money back. Two days later I worked out a deal with the 03 Cobra I mentioned above.

My advice...Ebay can be cool but watch out for the dealers.

Be safe
Steve

Riversnake · 12-20-2005, 11:46 AM

Been pondering putting mine on the market:
03 Aniv Coupe 10th Aniv Edition (1 of 365)
21k miles
Borla Stingers
K&N Cone
SCT Tuned at Dynospeed Racing in Memphis TN
New BFG G-Force rubber on front

Entered in five shows this summer-1st or 2nd in every one.
$26000

kilroy · 12-20-2005, 04:51 PM

...but I have a friend who has purchased two in the past 24 months (don't ask) right @23k through CarMax - & they were only 18-20k mile cars, too.

I think Rick & Linn sold their prepped '03 with Whipple and extras (drag legal) & less than 6k miles on the odo for around 28-31k.

I know Turbo kits are more $ up front, but $15k extra? Someone loves their car too much to sell. Can't fault you blk04cobra1, I feel the same & mine's a daily driver.

blk04cobra1 · 12-20-2005, 06:21 PM

I agree, but you cant even buy a 500rwhp car for under $65k, so I figure one with 800+rwhp that is reliable should bring a good bit...not to mention there's probably $20k in extra's...I know you dont normally get all of what you paid for in the extra's dept, but you gotta start somewhere...im sure I'd take $40k for it

TypeR632 · 12-23-2005, 12:00 AM

Just bought an 03 off of ebay, 1700 miles, $25,800. I've been lurking around for awhile, this is my first post.

blk04cobra1 · 12-23-2005, 09:34 AM

congrats TypeR...we all know you'll enjoy it and it sounds like you got a good deal with low miles

TypeR I have been watching ebay like a hawk and have not seen this one go through. I did see a 1700 mile car that sold for $27,600? Which one did you buy? Just curious. $25,800 is a heck of a buy. I paid that for mine with 2900 miles on it.
