What color?

If its not a 10th Ann. Mystichome or Comp Orange, or have a KB or something like that, you could offer 21-22K and be in the ballpark

Yea but 4k miles people usually won't let them go for less than like 25k, people still think they'll pull a super premium price. Maybe a year or two ago.

Pulley and tune will run you about $500 at least just because you have to buy the tuner+tune+dyno time.

Get the MM IRS bushing kit or go on SVTperformance and get ac427s kit.

If you're going to do the work yourself, good luck and bring friends
yep.

and heres his website. http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/irs.htm Definently worth the $750 I paid for the complete kit plus bumpsteer and bigger toe links.

Thanks for the heads up, I will lower it haha. Yea I know the tune is going to be expensive, more so than the parts probably.

Not really.

Most tuners are going to have a decent base 2.8 pulley tune. They're going to slap that in, make a few adjustments and you're done.

If it takes more then an hour, I'd be suprised

All depends on how motivated the seller is or how bad the buyer wants the car. Unmolested/low mileage Cobras are getting hard to find so some buyers may be willing to pay the higher price. It all depends on if the seller can afford to wait until the right buyer comes around.

FWIW, somebody asked me how much I would sell my 04 Mach a few weeks ago and I told him $22k. He was shocked because you can find them selling for $15-16. I told him that it's simple...everything has a price. Since I'm not trying to sell it and I still enjoy the car, I'll keep it unless somebody offers that amount. If I ever do become serious about selling it, I'll put a realistic price on it that will attract a buyer.

Its a Maroon/Red vert. He hasn't abused it, its not modded at all. He only drives it on sunny days, maybe once a fortnight.

I want it.

Unless it has some type of sentimental value a stock Cobra with low miles might be worth $22K or so.

The problem with them is that too many people are still assuming that they can get 06-08 $$$ for them even with the economy in the tank.

I paid $28K for mine in 04 with 400 miles on it. In 07 with 50K or so on it, someone offered me $26K and there were a lot of them for $25K-$28K with miles on them at the same time.

Now you can find modded ones with higher miles for under $20K easy
