It's a nice car but seems to be overpriced. I would never pay that much for any pony car, including the F-bods.

Thats rediculous might as well get a Roush mustang or ZO6 Vette or a C6 vette or 04 cobra. I bet that guy will be lucky to just get 20-30 grand for it. Though I'm sure there is some idiot that might pay that price.

That one takes the cake. It must be a holdover from the '00 Cobra R production run. That's one lofty price tag. I would like to meet the person that drops that kind of coin on that car...amazing.

I just noticed that the mileage is listed in Kilometers. Maybe those aren't USA Dollars. Even if its Australian or Canadian, I think it still translates to over $50,000 US.

willing to trade for Escalade plus money
Does this guy mean he'll trade his car plus some money for the Escalade or that he'll trade his car for an Escalade plus some money. If it's the latter then I think the price he posted is not an error.

he thinks someone with an escalade should give him the SUV and cash for that car? that car might be worth half what hes asking! you will never get back what you spend in afmarket stuff for your car. unless maybe the wheels are solid gold or something. the most i would give him for that is a 1999 suburban with 90k miles and a swift kick to the nuts!
