Found a potential car to buy, looking for advice.

97 is likely the Teves brake system and the light could be as simple as improper fluid level or bleeding to a serious problem with the ABS system.

Regarding value, etc, you need to understand you are asking opinions with near zero information

But, in this market, that price (given those miles) is very optomistic.

I also truly believe you are going down this path with one hand tied behind your back due to the trade.

My advice: sell your Cobra, then buy a 355

 

There's a difference between 'having no sticky issues' and 'sticky parts have been refinished'.

Status of valve guides? headers? soft top? (the usual stuff). I would factor those things into the price.

 

Oh boy....if I had a dollar every time I heard that.....

Joking aside, sellers say "no sticky issues" or "all stickies resovled" so often I'm numb to it. Truth is, in most cases only some parts are done, if any but I digress...

I'm a 355 owner (2 currently, just sold a 3rd a couple months back) my comments are to help you, nothing more, nothing less

 

Wheres the car?

 

There is a whole lot of space between Daves work and........
Somebody with a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a few hundred Q tips

 

This.....
Where is the car ?
And where are you ?
There may be an F chat member close who can go and look the car over.
Or a Ferrari type Indy shop mechanic close who can give it the once over.

 

I posted a thread in the south central regional area.
Nashville, TN help a brother, is the thread title.
Hopefully someone will contact you that is in that area.
Screen name DGS lists his location as mid TN, and is a active current member.

 

Were the cats and exhaust system replaced with another stock system or aftermarket? If stock, plan on doing it again...

I've said this in a previous thread you had but I agree with what Dave says, sell the Cobra and then buy a 355. If you're trying to trade in for tax breaks, I'm pretty sure you can save that amount by just shopping around more with cash in your hand.

 

Theres no tax break for trading a car in michigan.

We pay tax once when we buy it and then every year qe get the birthday tax when we get new yearly tags.

Btw the charge for my license plate sticker in michigan was $500 for the year based on the 355s retail price when new..

So they stick it to us that way.
And our insurance sucks too!

 

Nice car. I looked at it (online and email) last summer before I bought my car. They've either had it for sale but not advertised for a while or they sold it and maybe took it back in trade?
