Would anyone else buy a 97 Cobra with 91,000 miles? I have a clean carfax, it's from Texas originally so it has no rust, and I've seen pictures, and the guy selling seems to be extremely helpful. What would everyone do? And I'm going to be trading my 96 V6 coupe to him plus $5000 which seemed like a darn good deal to me. Any help would be great!

I've got 130k+ on the 96 and its still going strong. Just keep up with regular maintence and wear items and it will be a great car for you. Plus a 4.6L 32v is a WORLD of difference from the 3.8

i've been looking everywhere for a long time... on here, autotrader, ebay, magazines and newspapers... even stangnet classifieds... nothing so far... im picky though, so that's probably why

-no black ext.
-must be black int.
-nothing over 100k miles
-under/at $10k

i dont want to spend money on a car that i dont completely like though, so it works out in the long run... i hope...

I seriously think you are crazy trying to find a car that cheap with such low of miles. You should just go for the high mileage cars, they are still dependable, but they ae cheaper.
