Maybe $24,000 for a high mile 03. I hear the market is around $27,000 for stuff with low miles.

any car that is modded isnt covered under warranty, why are you buying a car that is modded and still expect it to be warrantied? unless you know some people lol. but i think you should stick with the ls1.

Last time I drove a COBRA,I realized how uncomfortable they are....the shifter location is awkward,and the seating isn't as good as my T/A,and the console is not where I like it......compared to the 'bird,it doesn't look as good either.GOOD LUCK on your purchase though..

i went from an 01 TA to a 01 Z28 to a 03 Cobra w/500rwhp back to the car in my Sig. you cant go wrong with a 03/04 cobra. they are good cars. just be prepared to spend the $$$ to mod them. parts dont go cheap. have the Eaton ported by Stieg. stage 3. throw a 100 shot on top with a good clutch and some sticky tires. if you dont break the half sahfts to will hurt some feelings. damn the more i talk about it the more i miss mine.

I got my car at a Jeep dealership.

I was the exact opposite...drove an 02 Z06, ran and handled like a dream, got out of the car, and couldn't feel my back for the next day Apparently my back and those seats didn't like eachother. The next day I bought my 03 cobra, and THANK GOD I did

Deals ARE OUT THERE. Don't be suckered in to buying the first one you find, dealer prices have REDICULOUS ranges (see some for 22k, at other dealers the car with same mileage would go for 32 ) You can also pick them up for cheaper from a private sale, just as you can with any car.

And the ported blower+spray is your second best route....to TURBOS .
