Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Would you make this trade?

I have been considering selling my SVT Tour to get a 96+ Cobra. The other day I came across a GT. Here is the ?.

Would you trade:

1998.5 SVT Tour Black w/Blue interior
51,000 miles
No Performance Mods (aside from KKM)

For a:

1994 GT Yellow w/Black leather Convertible
52,000 miles
MAC Cold Air
X-Pipe and Flowmaster exhaust
New BFG's and Cobra R rims.
(Asking $9500)

(Editied)

No.

Would you plan to work the motor on the GT?

I wouldn't do it. an older car just isn't worth the trouble to me. I'd rather keep the current one and buy another if I was wanting one.

I would have to..

GT40 Heads and Intake.

That is why I wanted a Cobra so I would already have the horsepower that I would need to add to the GT.

But with a Cobra ,similar mileage, more $$.

The guy is asking $9500 or trade.

Well, looking at the prices for 94-95 Convertible GT's at www.autotrader.com in my area $9500 is a good price if it is well maintained. There is even a 94 with 116k miles asking $9800 (dealer). So, I guess it would be worth trading for your car. First redesign year and 5.slow stock motor, but great potential.

Dollars to doughnuts that car has had a HARD 52k, so I wouldn't do it.

i have my reservations. I drove it and it seems real nice. i think if i went for it i would be putting too much money into to get to where a modular Cobra would be.

nope

i am planning on trading my contour for a 94-95 gt in the summer. so i would say yes. how can you say no to this color?

hopefully, that is the color i will get

You never want to go back on the year unless you are going for a classic. Your car is 4.5 years newer. Wait till you can save some more $$, and find something a bit newer then that.

True. Those cars were made for abuse. Unless you are buying it from an old lady that lives in Florida, you know it was driven hard.
