The rise of the smartphone makes this a relic of a solution.

I have 3 Fords and a Lincoln, and have owned several more previously - probably just because of this feature. Absolutely the best feature, and most used feature, ever in the history of my car ownership. Can’t live without it once you have it.  *pro tip* can’t get locked out of your house if you have this and your…

This is a pile of hot garbage. Even if it’s fixed, it’s still a crappy XJ, and still not worth $2500. Been there done that, never again. Too much work for something that is so completely disappointing in the end.

NP at ‘trade value’. If I were the guy with yesterday’s Mustang Fauxbra, that would be a fair title for title swap.  Cash money, this is $6500 and a quarter of weed in the glovebox as a tip.

this car is NOT what it is presented to be....that’s (headlights) just one of the most obvious clues, that so many keyboard mechanics are missing.

there is no reason to conceal the vin - it can be seen from the street by any passerby, and of no value whatsoever to a bad actor. Craigslist ads have the vin as one of the first fields to populate when you list a car. The mere fact that there’s no vin on this ‘cobra’ ad, IS the red flag....it’s the vin you’re paying…

I can swap an IRS from a wrecked Cobra into a New Edge in a weekend - not that hard or uncommon.

easy - there’s no vin in the ad.    don’t even need the whole vin to prove it’s a cobra or a clone. a simple photograph of the vin plate would clear it up. 

all bets are that it’s a clone - 1: nobody does this to a real Cobra and 2: if it were real, it would be documented (which it is not). and 3: if it’s cheap on the comp’s it’s waving red flags - either a salvage if it was ever actually a Cobra, or it’s a clone....or both.

this smells like a well done, very convincing clone car - ‘tribute’ if you will. If it were a real Cobra, it would be easy to prove, and front and center in the ad with documentation. That’s not there. Worth owning if it’s not got a salvage title - these are fun cars anyway, great for getting ice cream in - and Cobras…

laughably CrackPipe - 4 grand.

I wouldn’t whittle that with your stick.....AKA - I can buy easier to burn firewood at the gas station for $4.20 a bundle.

yeah, screw Mazda and their stretch fit belts over the easy ones...that’s so lame.

Monte, not Cutlass, but yeah - before that, Tony drove a primered Nova with airjackers and Cragars, 

too new to be a classic, too old to be reliable daily - too much rust for a $10K car - too many miles for a daily driver pedestrian BMW - this is the kind of car that becomes ‘meme’ grade fodder for the ol’ Big Money Waster stereotype that ends up hammering novice car buyers and people who…

close, but no crackpipe cigar.  $1200

I take a different approach - Put myself in that guy’s shoes and in his boss’ shoes. His boss says he has to make the pitch, and classic sales training tells you to not quit pitching until the third ‘no’. The FM is just doing his job. So I just say - “I’ll listen” and shut up. He pitches, I listen, he shuts up, I say…

I wouldn’t give a wad of belly button fuzz to Elon Musk.

I am the Liquor, Randy.....that’s a glass of swish right there.
