I'll take a guess and say ~$20-$22k. The low miles help.

Some people will love the color but it will limit your market somewhat. It just takes that one person to fall in love with the color. I was looking for one of these way back when I bought my car in 2005. Post some pics!

My guess would also be 20k plus, maybe as high as 25k.

You're never going to bridge that gap between what you want to pay for it and what he's selling it for.

The price might be a little higher than I'd think...but all it takes is the right buyer. If he was selling a regular color (black, silver, white, etc) I'd say he was being very optimistic. There's a possibility he could get that based on how rare it is (rare color, rare combination, and not many 04's produce). Who knows.

I agree 100%. Rarity is an aspect of price. Mileage is as well. People who purchase low production vehicles and refrain from modifying and driving them do so to maintain or grow the value of the car. Good luck with the sale and I hope you find someone who appreciates your care of the car and gives you what you want for it.

Take offers, you have a nice car. The year of your car helps. I think you will end up in the mid 20s. Your car is hard to replace. It's not like they can walk down the street and find one like it.

Comp orange color is nice.
A buddy of mine sold a red '04 Cobra convertible last summer for just under 30k.

It had stainless catback exhaust, MGW shifter, JLT cold air, pulley and tune.
450 rwhp

It had less than 3,000 miles on it and still smelled new inside.

Our drivetrain is no comparison to a terminator.

Good luck with the sale.

You may find the right buyer, but these cars are getting to the age that banks won't lend that much...and folks with 30k in their pocket to buy a 2V new edge are rare.
