Accurate observation. Earlier this year, Autotrader may have had 4-5 Cobras listed for sale at any one time. Today on Autotrader, there are 16 Cobras listed for sale. This doesn't take into account all the others listed on Ebay, Craigslist, etc.
With these cars about to reach the 20-year mark, I think more real low mile ones are about to hit the market. Maybe some buyers are waiting to see what else becomes avail. in the near future.

Don't be so glum, chum! You're still driving one of the more rare and highly desirable Fox-body Stangs ever made. I'm sure there are a lot of owners of the dime-a-dozen 87-93 LX 5.0 and GTs out there that would trade with you in a second.

X2, and mine has 152k.
I actually like it, I like the fact that it does have high miles but it doesnt show (TX) car, there are a ton of low milers in great shape but you rarely see the opposite and I dont hesistate to take it out for a spin once in a while. Plus I dont have all that cash tied up!

Yea with ya on that, love mine. It took me awhile to pull the trigger on it because of the miles, but after seeing many of these cars with less miles have issues from heavymods, rips/tears, and RUST!! The miles on my teal/blk/sunroof I could easily look over then. I have nearly $13k into it now though, I paid mid $9's, but after the expense of it getting from AZ to MD, a fresh suspension overhaul with a few mild mods to it, tax/tags, etc.. Now it rides like NEW, sounds and feels like a 50k miles car. IMO. I'll probably never get back for what I have into. But, I never intended on making a profit or to break even on it when I bought it. However I think for "NOW" in this market and where these car stand, it's will always be worth $10k. IMO.
Oh, and I have NO intention of selling it anytime soon. Fun to drive, and I got what I wanted, excepted, for the $$'s I put out for it. Best money spent!

Your driving a modern day classic thats really cool forget speed, heck buy any new car and its probably quicker but you wont have that unique look, feel and damn sure sound!

Nothing a mod here or there can't fix!
Even better, there are plenty of relatively inexpensive ones that could give that Cobra of yours some more bite. (If you're not concerned about keeping the car stock.)

Not the time of year to be selling. Everyone is thinking snow and winter not spring and summer. Sports cars always do better from the first of the year on and fall off in the fall winter months.

Actually Z, I'd like to keep as close to stock as possible, though the only mod I have done to it is a fenderwell CAI.
