03 cobra vert or 10 GT, why is this so hard?

I'm looking to replace my recently totaled 2010 GT but I;m hung between a 2003 sonic blue cobra vert. or another 2010 GT in grabber blue, HIDs, grabber blue interior accents, security package, 3.73 gears, comfort package and 19" premium painted rims. I can get the 10 new for a little over $29,000 or the cobra for a little over $19,000. The cobra has 44k miles and the owner knows very little about the car and what has been done to it, but it most definitely isn't stock. The payments come out about the same and so does insurance but the cobra would be financed for 4 years where as the GT would be for 7(I know I shouldn't finance any longer than 5 years but I'm young and feel like 7 years isn't much longer than 5, plus I know It would be payed off before 7 years and being committed to a lower payment is nice). There are a few quirks with the cobra such as the driver side door panel insert has popped out at the top and there is a cigarette burn mark in the rear seat. Here is the vin for the cobra if any one is nice enough to run a carfax :1FAFP49Y33F305845. As well as the craigslist listing with some pics: http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/1816959344.html.

Personally I would pass on that Cobra. To me the roll cage tells me that car has probably been driven pretty hard and when it comes to supercharged cars, they can go either way with how and what will happen in the near future. I say get the 2010 or even better, find another Cobra and go with that.

What he said. I would just be patient and wait for a good Cobra to come along...

The color for me would almost be enough to go that route. I am absolutely in love with that color!

Congrats on your new GT! I woulda gone for the Cobra, but that's just 'cause I'm a sucker for them. I know you'll enjoy the hell out of the GT, won't even think about the termie again!
