I have a new (3000 miles) Shelby Cobra kit car and a guy is wanting to trade me a 07 GT/CS,white,auto trans,only 500 miles.....what do these cars sell for new untitled and what would this car be worth with 500 miles and titled?
I want to make sure that we are trading apples to apples on the value of cars.

Any thoughts would be great.

Go to www.fordvehicles.com and build the car, it will tell you the invoice and MSRP for it. Take off about $500 for the 500 miles, thats about all they are losing as far as I know. Even year old Stangs with 10K miles are going for around $20K, Very good resale value.

 

I think you just came here to show us your Cobra!

 

I'd keep the kit Cobra, that thing looks sweet!!

 

I went to the Ford site and i tried to build one but i did not see the CS option.....around what do they sticker for?

I would never show off my Cobra hahahah

It is listed in the options section, but you have to build a Premium car, not a Deluxe car. It is only available on the Premium packages. It is a $1900 option, if that helps. With no options except auto trans and cali special, MSRP is $30,160.

 

Keep in mind that people can get these on the x-plan (about $50 below invoice), so I'd base my value of the GT/CS on the invoice price and not MSRP. You can go to kbb.com or edmunds.com to build one out and get the invoice price.

 

Me unless it was the real thing I'd take the Mustang Nothing Beats the real thing. can I show off too ? thank-you.
This is a beatiful picture btw:

 

MSRP with MAX options is $34785 (coupe)

 

The car listed for $31980 white in color, i am selling the cobra and i am wanting to net around $30000 I don't know how these car hold there value so soon._IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THAT KIND OF MONEY OUT OF THE CAR? The big draw for me is trading for a car that more people would want to buy.
Last yr i bought my daughter a 06 Jeep loaded with a Hemi it listed for $42,000 and i bought it for $27,000 a geart deal for me but somebody lost alot of money.

Yes, they hold their value VERY well. I just checked with Edmunds and it shows the deduction for mileage. $518 off the price for 500 miles, not bad.

 

keep the cobra and just get whatever car you want!

 

I looked at Edmunds and the newest yr listed is 2006 so that did not help much.

 

Yeah, that is what I based the search on, Kelly Blue Book also only lists 2006 as the most current year. I would say whatever the car's invoice (not msrp) is, take off about $500 for the mileage, and another $500 for being used, and that is what I would say it is worth.

 

Dealer offered me $27000 for mine in the current wrecked condition plus the insurance check to repair it...I'm not taking that deal.
