Default 2003-2004 cobra dealers

Hey guys,

In the near future I may be interested in getting a '03-04 cobra. Do you guys know any dealers that are good to work with, give the best deals, and will mod the car the way I want it?

Not in any hurry at all, but just trying to get a few ideas together.

Years back I went to a dyno day at gearheads in south Arlington. There was a guy there that had a dealer's license that bought and sold Terminators. They might still have that lead...

Hi End Auto in Appomattox VA
http://www.hi-endauto.com/

Those guys have a TON of nice Cobras, mild to modded, and from everyone who has dealth with them on SVTP, they are top notch in customer service.

Don't be afraid to ship a car if it's the one you really want. I found mine sitting in a garage all alone in North Carolina with a K&N Filter and Magnaflow catback, 18k miles.

I always thought they were overpriced on all their vehicles.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

My experience with LA motorcars is they are swindlers.

Back in the 03/04 hay day they were taking caged/10 sec track cars and restoring them back to stock.

My buddie sold them his grey insert seats and they put them in a car that had Sparcos etc. WAYYYYY overpriced

I sold my 03 about a year ago to LA Motorcars for pretty much what the going rate was, saw it on the internet for about 6k more than other Cobras with similar mileage. Better deals can definitely be found.

I bought one from them many years ago and when I lived in NC they always had a good inventory both modded and stock. I would buy again from them.
