Considering a Purchase on a 2004 SVT Cobra!
Any Cobra owners here? sure there is but anyway im looking for a new 2003 or 2004 SVT Cobra whats a good price bad price.. and suggestions for haggling the sales man.... i would be happy to get the stick down to about 32,000$
|
A couple of posts down RBatson got a 04 Mach for 25k. I would think somewhere close to that would work. If not get a Mach. I like them better than the Cobra anyway.
|
yeah but a mach doesnt have a super charger:-\ and 85 less horsepower:mad:
|
also what about rear suspension is the Mach 1 independant rear also or a solid axle?
|
03 cobras are going for $29k coupe, $30k 10th coupe, $33k vert, $34k 10th vert. if you dont get those prices, you aren't calling enough dealerships...
now if you want an 04 ure paying msrp... :) hope you get one |
really after about an hour of reviewing that Mach 1 looks pretty damn sweet... doesnt perform to bad compard to the svt in all the test and if i can score one for 25k thats even better:)
|
Mach 1 = solid axle
Cobra = IRS E |
yeah.... i believe for the price different im gonna get the mach 1.... I got a 2004 mach1 with the premium package priced for 24,987! i thought that was pretty good haggling on my part.... but i havent bought it yet.. Very sweet black one
|
Cobra has more potential for cheap mods...pulleys, intake, exhaust can give you well over 80rwhp
:) |
I test drove a Mach 1 at our local dealer a few months ago. He was asking 28k but I live in a small town prices are usually higher on everything. I thought the car was sweet that shaker hood just screams drive me fast. Although a little to much aluminum trim for my taste.
|
big fan of aluminum and polished aluminum so im like oo hell yeah:D
|
<---- Got my new baby for $200 over dealer invoice.... in early July....
Seemed like a good deal at the time... and it was considering the local dealership wanted $4K over sticker for the same car... |
maaaaaaan i got one priced now for $24,685 my local dealer actually beat that one places price tag!

I wanted a Cobra to start with but the more I looked at the Mach the better it looked, more car per money. It really isn't that far off. Mid-low 13s with the Mach, mid 12s with the Cobra. If you want a Cobra then by all means, that is what you should get... I got a dealer in Jacksonville Fl down to $31,800 for a new white 2003 model. I just decided the Mach was a better deal, to me. The silver trim is the 'interior upgrade pkg', mine doesn't have that(about $345). The premium pkg you are referring to is the Mach pkg, there isn't much you can add to a Mach besides the iup. You get the 460 Mach stereo and the 1000 Mach stereo is not an option on the Mach. It had a solid rear axle and is lowered 1/2". If you have any other questions, just let me know... I have to go xmas shopping now.. /being pulled by the ear..
here's a quick pic |

Without the upgrade(this pic)... the pedals are black instead of metal, the locks are black instead of metal, metal trim around the gear shift and you get a 4 way head rest with the upgrade.
Oh Yeah!! There is supposed to be a used 2003 model on the showroom floor in Wilson NC, I heard the price is $19k. Good Luck!! |

well...
i was gonna get a mach 1 and i was actually signing the paperwork and then i got thinking about it and said heeeeeeelllllllll no! they didnt wanna give me but like 18 for my trade leaving me with 5,000$ extra to pay... so i was financed at like 31,000 and those payments and insurance wouldnt have worked...:mad: i reallllly want one but i dont think ill get out from under this truck... pretty much looks like im stuck with this slow *** non offroading POS!
|
btw sweet car!
just like the one i wanted except it had the aluminum trim package inside... if you dont mind me asking how much do you end up paying monthly??? i was looking at around 600-650....:(

It's all about your personal finances.
I have a friend who has a Mach1 right now and regrets not going for the Cobra. He got stung by the drag fever this summer, and realized after reading up a lot that the Mach1's higher compression alluminum heads is not capable of sustaining reliably a power adder like a S/C. He also reads around about 'bras running with 600, 650, 700 and 750HP on stock engines with different boost via different S/C. Mach1 is a hell of ride. This one guy at Sanair this summer kept on clocking 13.1-13.2 at 103MPH factory stock (even the rubber). It was a good day... I was clocking high 13.8s with my stock GT. FYI: The shaker hood looks more cool than is effective... but don't tell anyone, they don't need to know. |
