This guy is trying to flip this car for a cool 1k profit and it doesn't even have 80k original miles. What a douche. Don't try to rip people off. Buyer beware.. I think we all know better though.

Isnt it a 6 digit odometer? So unless the Cobra Whiteface Gauge Cluster was changed it very well may have 80k on it. 3800 For a running driving Cobra isnt a bad price at all. Sounds like someone was beat to the deal and may be a lil sore about it? [Eek!]

Just Sayin!

Yea sounds like a good deal, id run a Car fax to make sure everything else is legit

Posted by 94tealgt (Member # 10127) on :

I believe someone already ran a carfax on it who is on this site. I don't want that car nor did I ever want it. I just know they bought it for 2700 or less and are trying to flip it. Apparently it pushes some white smoke and grinds in reverse. I'm all for making a buck but don't push the car off as if it has no real issues.

Hmmm, finding a car when you gots money cheaper than market value and then flipping it right away is whack nowadays? Last time I checked that is a legitimate hustle so go on and hate witch ya broke ass!

Posted by 98z28 (Member # 8408) on :

Maybe he fixed the issues, if you can buy a car for cheap, fix it and sell it for a grand over and still be a good price. Then do the damn thing!!

If the car is busted then it won't sell, an karma is a MF!!

There is nothing wrong with buying something for less and trying to sell it for more. The beautiful thing is buyers can decide for themselves what they want to pay for something. Capitalism! Imagine that.

you got to be real tight, high performance where I'm from yaddamean, your car got to be handlin, handlin suffa Can ya feel me, if ya car ain't handlin nuffa,ya aint handlin nuffa

Posted by NavidR (Member # 3164) on :

So what if the guy got te car for a $1, he can do what he wants! Good for him, shit I'm not going to lie I would have bought it and flipped it too!

Posted by 50 Deep (Member # 6216) on :

Actually I recall the thread where the carfax was run and the car really had 180K on it. If it truly was odometer tampering then there's no telling what else is up with the car. If the seller discloses that information then its all gravy, however if they don't then that's when there is a problem.

Don't think the dude was tryna hate, but potential buyers will likely pay for a car which they think has 80k on it since most people won't run the carfax on a car this old.

Assuming this is the same car I remember in the other thread

Posted by Chavez66 (Member # 9812) on :

yea it was the same car, I remember it having helluh miles on it and he lyin about that fur shur

still not a bad deal as long as there no bondo on the roof

Posted by venomous99 (Member # 1917) on :

so wait...u mean to say that if i purchase a car dirt cheap i can actually make a profit off of it and sell for whatever i want? i was under the impression that the purchase price puts a cap on how much i can sell the car for. [Wink]

Posted by BladeX10 (Member # 9444) on :

I saw that car in person at the tow yard because i thought it was a good deal and wanted to check it out.. But damn its not smog legal, it ran like complete shit. there was something wrong with the transmission. It was junk

Sounds like "was junk" is the key phrase here....

The car mite have ran like shit at the junkyard but dude probably put a few dollars into it and fixed it looks like a good deal to me but I would have to find out if the mileage is legit [patriot]

Posted by BladeX10 (Member # 9444) on :

I remember the white smoke aswell too. It was sputtering and dying and pushing out smoke. Its straight piped. Paint was ok but had heavy orange peel in places.

Posted by 94tealgt (Member # 10127) on :

Whoever bought it just did over the weekend. Maybe he fixed all the stuff. Like the white smoke from the exhaust and it grinding in reverse. Let me see if he will give up the vin# and ill run a carfax and put it on here.

Why would it still need a tune up if he put a few dollars into it and fixed it?

Wait... You mean to tell us the guy bought the car and is trying to resell it to make a profit? Yeah I would stay away from that guy, I heard they just passed a law stating that its illegal to make a profit on the sale of cars. Now all of the dealerships nationwide are going to go out of business along with the automobile manufacturers and there goes what we have left of the economy. So let me ask you a question, when you sell your cars is it mandatory that you loose money? Get off your high horse! Obviously the guy got the car that you wanted and now your trying to prevent him from selling it. Let him make a buck and leave him alone...

I never wanted that cobra. There is no hating going on. Go check it out for yourself. Prove me wrong that its clean and runs strong. Let me know what you think about it.

Posted by BladeX10 (Member # 9444) on :

Its a clean cobra.. Just the little things here and there bother me like the odometer issue and the white engine bay.
