Ok guys, I need some advice on a Cobra - Page 2

NewFoundPower · 09-06-2004, 08:52 PM

That was what I was thinking to begin with Sniper. I just haven't seen any new 03s for sale. All I have seen are used ones. I'm gonna call Tri-City tomorrow and see what they can do as well.

I'm not sure if there are any 03's there, but they may be able to find you one. Tell David Watkins that I sent you. I'm Jerry Fowler. I wished that I knew how to post a pic on this forum. It's frustrating

You have to be a paying member of the SCMC. Otherwise you will need to use another service that allows you to post pic and put the link here. Fill out an application and send it in to Tony. It is not expensive and the benefits far outway the membership fee.

Have the dealership look on the locater and they will find whatever is left. I know Dale Jarret Ford had some 03s when we looked but there are not a lot of them. Contrary to popular belief though, they are not going to be cutting any "major" discounts on the Cobra anytime soon. Prices I've seen people quote here on new 03's are still well above dealer cost. The demand for them considering the number available is still high enough for the dealerships to sit on them. Now if you want a good deal on a Thunderbird, that is a different story since Ford is forcing the cars on the dealers whether they want them or not. Also, from what I understand, the gas guzzler tax still applies to the 03's but the 04 is exempt from it.

$33,800.00 is a pretty good price for a new Cobra ragtop, anyway you look at it. It stickered for $39,675.00. The mark up can't be very much more.

Sniperfox · 09-06-2004, 11:26 PM

And I believe that is about as low as you will see anywhere. That price is lower than the coupe MSRP.

Not bad. That should be getting close to the A & D plan pricing on that car, so that's probably about as low as they will go. The dealer will still make a nice profit even at that price, but you should be happy with that offer regardless.

You may want to check the For Sale Forum. I know David had a thread about 2 '03 Cobras they were selling at Parkway. I think both have been sold, but if I remember correctly he posted his cell number in that thread which would allow you to contact him directly.

NewFoundPower · 09-07-2004, 11:39 AM

Just wanted to drop a quick line and thank you all for the help so far. I'm gonna give David a call this afternoon and see what he can do. I'll keep you all posted.

Blown96Snake · 09-07-2004, 05:01 PM

NewFoundPower,

I will be at the dealership until 9pm tonight. If you call the dealership and do not get me, try my cell phone. I will pm that number to you.

Thanks! 800-467-2469

Talked to David Phillips tonight. Damn nice guy. He said the could do an 04 for me for 31K. He is gonna run some numbers for me and see what he can do and give me a call tomorrow morning. Needless to say I am pretty excited. Just wanted to thank all you guys for helping me out and giving me your input and connections. When everything gets ironed out I will let you all know. Once again, thanks.

Stay fast,
David

I bought my 04 coupe about 3 weeks ago in Kirkland WA for about $29,400. A little had to tell for sure since there was an 04 WRX trade. Dealer had 5 on the lot, and 2 or 3 03's. Last week I say they were selling a yellow new 03 convert for 30,400!

NewFoundPower · 09-08-2004, 02:03 PM

Well guys, here is the latest. David has been really awesome. We have got me down to about what I want to pay a month for the car. The problem I have run into now is the same problem that NSANE ran into. Insurance is out of control. $178/m is what they are quoting me ($2100/yr). I have called around and listed the car as a "pleasure vehicle" so I hope that will make some difference. We'll see.

snakedoctor · 09-08-2004, 11:17 PM

I just bought an '04 Cobra from Gene Evans Ford in Union City, Georgia for $29,950 and they have two left. Mine was a screaming yellow and they have a silver and torch red left. They were really cool and dealing with them was a breeze. I live in Arkansas and they FedExed the paperwork to me overnight. I know in Little Rock they have about (6) 03 Cobra Convertibles for $33,000. Ford has a $3,000 rebate on 04's right now until the end of September. The deals are out there you just have to look.
