My buddy is in the market for a 03/04 Cobra, Low miles, close to or stock, and WHITE only. He found a couple out of state and contacted all of them. Found one in Minnesota, contact the seller and its a 26 yr old women selling it. Says its her husbands car who has died and her father is doing the leg work for the sale. Father gets in contact with my friend says its completely MINT. Not a single dent, ding, scratch or mark on it. Sends about 15 pics of the car and they look as the car is described, white cobra completely stock and low miles. My friend said he wanted the car and asked again "Be 100% honest before I buy the plane tickets is there anything to know about this car that I should know about? Its as clean as you describe it?" He says yes. Well we hop on a plane and fly out there with the idea of buying it and driving it home. We get picked up by these people from the airport and they just keep ranting how amazing this car is and the most babied Cobra thats around. We get there and before I even walk past the rear bumper I notice its like 10 shades darker then the quarter panels. I then look at the body lines of the deck lid and the qtr and notice the glue or bonding agent is visable with the truck closed. So I pop the truck and its very clear BOTH qtrs have been replace or taken off the car at some point and put back on by a middle schooler. Walk around the car and open the door, I notice over spray all over the roof and start to see tape lines on the pilars of the car, and door jams. I get in the car and bump the side skirt and watch it move a 1/2 inch, grab it and see its missing clips and it loose as can be. AWESOME. Pop the hood and all the fender bolts have been painted over along with the hood hinges. Counted over ten chips or small scratched I couldnt see in the pics they sent us. The pics also had NO wheel weights on the face of the wheel and when we got there all four wheels had weights stuck on the face of the wheel. I asked these people if this car is the same one in the Add of if they have the car we came to look at? They were completely confused and wondered why we didnt like the car. WHITE CAULK was on the inner fenders and painted over for some reason. Stain on the seats. After taking it for a drive 2nd gear whinned more then it should have also.
We shot them a very low price in which the lady said no and had her BF take us back to the airport. So basically we flew to MN to see a piece of shit car that looked nothing like the pics and to see the mall of America. Worst trip to see a car in my short lifetime so far.
