Default Should I trade my T/A?

I have come across a nice car, and was considering selling my T/A for it. I am 70/30 on keepin the bird, but was wondering what everyone else thought about it.

My T/A is an 02 WS6, M6 with T-tops. It has 27k miles and I am the second owner. Very clean, one ding in left rear quarter panel, but I am taking that out next week.

The other car is a 1997 Cobra. It also has 27K miles on it. The car IS ******* CLEAN. Not one ding/scratch inside or out. The engine is stock, except for a CAI. The exterior has a Steeda suspension (coilovers/RSB) and 03 Cobra wheels.

Owner wants 12,500 for the car.

Should I buy the cobra and sell the T/A?

Thanks

let me preface this by saying i owned a stang for 9 years. i am a FORD guy who happens to own a GM because honestly, the LS1 cars have no equal.

the SN95 stang is heavy, slow and has no bottom end. not to mention no sunroof or t tops.

i would keep the T/A. unless the stang is an 03 cobra.. it's nothing special.

I think I would stay with the T/A. I have had several older and newer mustangs even a couple of 2003 Mach 1. Now I have a 2002 ss 35th le and love it. I think the only mustang I would trade for would be a 03 or 04 cobra, and not for sure if i would do that.

If it was an 03 or 04 Cobra and you wanted to trade it I would say go right ahead. But a 97? Unless you just really want a mustang I don't see any upsides to owning it.

Not a chance. Keep the TA. Unless you can't handle the power of the TA and want to step down, go for it.

Keep the T/A man. The Cobra sounds nice, but also is a downgrade. Unless you find a clean 03-04 Cobra that you like, keep the T/A.

to me the T.A along with the Viper are the Gods of the sports car world. When i get my hands on a T.A i will never part with it, especially not for a Mustang. If i was you id keep the T.A. IMO you'll regret gettin a stang over what you have now, but overall jus do what makes you happy.

If you decide to sell that T/A let me know, but honestly you would be stupid to trade for a slowbra. Might as well get a Honda.

That'd be a major downgrade.

Hard to believe you are considering such a trade.

That's gotta be the best analogy for this question!!!!

Unless your a total idiot, keep the T/A. I like Mustangs but those Cobra's were dogs.

and if you went to a ford forum most reasonable people on there would tell you the same thing. and you said it yourself the T/A is the better car. most would say the same thing if you were thinking about trading a low mileage 03 Cobra for a low mileage 95 LT1 Camaro. the T/A is the better car plain and simple regardless of which ones a GM and which ones a Ford
