I don't think it's worth that much... but it's all up to you.  The car is probably worth a little bit less... mid to high 20's depending on stock or not.

That's just a little bit to much.  Is it a coupe or convertible?
Checkout www.autotrader.com or www.cars.com
You could find a cheaper 1 there.

Not with only 11k miles... KBB on these cars isn't worth a damn... they're not based off of real numbers on the specialty cars.. I don't care what they say.. that car is worth mid to high 20's... depending on the overall condition.

I would say it is a little high.  Lately you can find some of the best deals on autotrader, so you may want to check there.  I agree with xxkazp3rxx, mid to high 20's.

If he's giving you a pulley kit - it's been pullied.. if it's been pullied you're going to want to check the motor, and see if he has any heating modifications..

I wouldn't touch a terminator that's been pullied w/o having the cooling mods... for almost any price.

That is the best color combo, it had better be a Vert for that much though. Mine is mint except for a few scratches on the chin spoiler. It has 20K miles on it, I bought it a couple of months ago, and paid a little under $26K. You can find cheaper, but it's the distance that makes the difference. I looked for 4 or 5 months for that color combo, with low miles, and a clean CarFax, until I found this one, but I still had to drive 4 hours to get it, and it was the closest one by hundreds of miles.

NO WAY!!!!! seriously? I bought my '03 for 26,500. The only difference between the two is some painted paneling on the inside and a different badge on the trunk. My advice....don't get it. You could get a wayy better price.

I got my 10th for 24K with 24K miles on it.  There is more diff than painted door panel bezels. The sterring wheel is a lot nicer in the 10th's, its also got carbon fiber looking shift knob, ebrake handle and stuff around the ebrake(dont know what its called) They have 10th anniv. Logo floormats, red brake calipers, Red leather inserts in the seats instead of sued(SP)

I dont think its worth 30K id got 25K tops

Can't even find an 03 Ann. around me. The last few 04 'verts to come through my area all went for 28k+ with 20k+ miles.

What's it worth to you?

I agree with what other people have already said.
30k is a little high.
I paid 23,800 for my 03 vert about a month ago. It has 34k miles on it but still, I wouldn't pay that much.
You can find one in the mid 20's with low miles.

The 10th Anniversary cars are probably only worth it if you intend on keeping it as a "collector".  If you're gonna drive it for a few years and get rid of it -- just go with a regular Cobra.

FWIW: Less than a month ago I picked up a 12K mile, black Anniversary coupe for 28K. And that is a little high, but it was unmolested except for exhaust and I knew it's history and owner.

I'm a collector, I'll prob stop driving it and put it in a barn. Then 35 years from now I'll remember it's there and sell it for millions! (right?) I'll have found my own barn-find car!
