I'm looking at buying 1of 2 93 Cobars. Both are Teal/Black cars 1 with about 31K miles on the clock and the other has about 47K on the clock. The owner is asking $20K for the 31K mile car and the Dealership is asking $13K for the 47K mile car. Just wondering which would be better. I have seen 5K mile cars selling for $21K. I'll try to attach some pics but I have never done it before. Image 1 is the 31K mile car and image 2 is the 47K mile car. I would like the 31K mile car because it doesn't have a sunroof. Please tell me what you guys think I should go for. I have been searching for a long time and bow I found 2 Teal/Black cars. I'm so lucky.
From the looks of the picture, the 47k one looks a little rough. The first one though looks sweet. Quite a bit of difference money on the two. I do think $20k is too much for it. You can get one with a lot less miles for that much.
Yea 20k is to much but the 47k mile car is priced right but it looks weathered to be sitting in the show room. I would have to see it in person to see if it would clean up on not.
89 Saleen SSC #168 10k miles
90 Saleen Vert #93 26k miles
92 Cobra Prototype 8k miles
93 Cobra #3032 Teal/gray cloth 6k miles
93 Cobra #3620 Black/Gray leather 12k miles
93 Cobra #4993 Teal/Gray Leather
93 Yellow SE 5spd, 4k miles
93 5.0 coupe 19k miles
94 GT 7k miles
92 25th 1LE Z28 900 miles
The dealership sent me a video and the car looks great. Both cars are one owner cars and both cars look great. If anyone is close enough to the 47K mile car I would really appreciate it if someone can look at it. This is an email I got from the Dealership. Sorry for this being so long. It is the autocheck history.

Both cars are in great condition. The Dealership car passes the State Inspection and Emissions. $20K is a little steep for a 31K car. I would expect to pay maybe $15K.
Both cars are teal with black interior? 13000 for a teal/black with 47000 miles in my opinion is great. These are the rarest of all. A year or two ago, that car would have been a steal. I think fair price for the other one would be 17000-18000.IMO. Wow, two black/teal cobras for sale, the economy must be bad.
1993 Vibrant red cobra #3966,Black interior, car has all options including a sunroof,80000 miles,all stock-SOLD
I have seen pictures of the 31K mile car, It like very nice, However has the dreaded Undercoating, This really hurts the value of it. It has holes drilled in the Jams with Black Plugs in them which means it was Zebarted heavily. If you could get it for the same price as the other one or a little more it owuld be worth it, I haven't seen any pictures of the dealer car. Very nice looking though. Are you buying it? If not I am interested, let me know Thanks
I dont think you can go wrong on the 47k for 13g. I had a teal black with 45k miles and It sold in the first few hours I had it listed for 12,500 a little over a year ago
93 COBRA #3066 Teal/Gray cloth
93 COBRA #4738 Teal/Gray cloth (SOLD)
93 COBRA #4935 Teal on Black w/sunroof (SOLD)
93 COBRA #4969 Teal on Black w/sunroof (SOLD)
93 COBRA #2243 Black on Black (SOLD)
The economy is not what it was a Year ago! Prices on them have Dropped Considerably in the last year. I just wish we could see down the road and actually see what these cars are going to do.
I leave in Republic where the car is. I drove by and looked in the window, had some scratches, doesn't look bad from a distance. Would be glad to get with the dealer and look closer but it may be next Saturday before I would get to.
If you can look at the car for me that would be great. I am still talking to the dealership. I just have to talk to my bank now. Feel free to send me some donations to help me get this car (LOL). Hope to hear back form the MO guy real soon.
Sned me an e-mail I have Pics of both cars, and they are both Undercoated Pretty well, the MO car needs Muffelers, 1 has Bad hole and lots of Rust on H-pipe, the car has been sitting for along time, which worries me. But it would make a supurb driver. It would be a good deal for a local purchase, but with shipping and Taxes, it is not much of a good deal they said $12,500. Plus 7% tax, then you figure another 500 to 1000 for shipping, puts you close to 15K in it, Just my opinion.
