Hello,
I am sorry for the late reply.
The car is still for sale. It has a clean title, very well maintained, no exterior damages and no mechanical problems, i don't smoke, no leaks, brakes are 80% left, oil was changed 500miles ago. The A/C blow ice cold, and the heat works fine. I'm asking $5500 for it, not negotiable. I have to to sell this car as fast as I can because in three weeks I will be in Afghanistan and I think I'll stay there for a while that's why I'm selling it so cheap. Currently I'm in Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida and the car is here with me. I can ship for free within US if you want to buy it. Let me know what you decide ASAP.
The pics speak for themselves, You'll love the car, I can guarantee you that!
Thank you.

Sure seems like a helluva deal on the car. Almost to good as your thinking. I think if I was the one buying it I would make thr trip down to purchase it in person.

[INSANELY CRAZY]

thats a really nice cobra for 5500. i dunno, sounds legit but ya never know. also it cost to list in autotrader,so either its real of someone has money and no brains.

I am concerned he left no phone number on autotrader or in the e-mail to contact him?

yeah that sounds a little weird i would look into getting a number and actually talking to someone

[John4cam]

Couple things to think about is that motor is on barrowed time pushing 15 psi and making close to 500rwhp uncooled. The AIT's have to be throught roof, mine were at 6psi.

The t-45's also SUCK. Other than that for 5500 bux thats a lot of car there!

[Killercanary]

Seems fishy to me. It'll cost at least $700 to ship the car from FLorida to PA as I recently looked into it. I'd get as much information on him, his situation, and the car before I sent any money down. Try locating the shop who's logo is on top of the windshield to see if they know of the car and the owner. That might tell you a lot. If the car belongs to someone that works there and they are not actually selling it you will know right away that it is a scam, or they may know the guy with the car and vouch for him... you never know.

[fork5o]

who knows with that. i does seem kinda weird. very cheap, paul said $700 to ship and hes shipping it free, he wanted to sell it quickly so maybe you wont have time to look into everything. if it is legit, thats a hell of a deal IMO

[2001GTTT]

click: get sellers phone number.

if you dial it and all you get is the Dial-Up sound. its a scam.

[street591]

The phone number is 704-200-2341 or at least thats what he put on auto trader

[Shadowstealth]

honestly this is the time to invest.... people are getting low on money and are desprate.... id be cautious... but trust me if you researched last years prices on cobras... its major difference.... they are goin from 2 to 15 % less then what they were last year... so i say check it out... hell what do you have to loose... ! i just got a clean ass 92 lx for under wellll under 9k and its CLEEEEEAN AND I MEAN CLEAN!

[daviac5000]

If I read the windshield banner correctly, it says Alternative Auto Performance which is in Michigan. That along with the price and free shipping seems fishy to me.

Ya it says in the autotrader add that he is in NC

[mr4teth]

Scams always start with time restrictions ... IE “I have to sell this car as fast as I can because in three weeks I will be in Afghanistan”

Ask him what number Mystic it is and then research it on this site.

Can We Say Scam Boys And Girls !!!!!!!

[Balaska347]

Its a scam these are in the autotrader all the time.

[Mark Aubele]

SCAM! There are scammers all over autotrader. Never leave a phone number, always HAVE to sell, bad grammer, etc. If you want to keep your 5500, call autotrader and report it, and then run away.
