Default Advice Requested from Novice Mustang Lover

I need some expertise.

I've has a crush on Mustangs ever since I saw Bullitt in the theaters, so I thought maybe now is the time to indulge. I found a 1998 Mustang Cobra with the following description:

The Kenne Bell supercharger gives the DOHC 4.6 Liter gobs of torque. The Exedy Mach 600 Stage 4 Clutch and Lightweight Racing Flywheel make sure all the power gets to Fords tough 8.8 Differential equipped with 3:55 gears and a Detroit Locker. The Nitto Summer Max tires (265/35ZR18 & 295/35ZR18) do their best to put it to the ground. The Brembo Big Brake conversion assures you can bring it down from speed again and again. For those of you that like to do more than go straight, the Saleen Racecraft Suspension and sub frame connectors get the job done. If the Recaro Saleen leather seats are not snug enough for the occasional track day, it comes with a quick to bolt in Corbeau FX1 Pro Racing Seat. Car is in great shape - always garaged (and covered). A pure joy to drive with a long list of extras - Mishimoto Over sized Radiator, Mishimoto Racing Thermostat, Roush Cold Air kit, Borla Exhaust, Snow Performance Methanol Injection, 07 Shelby GT500 Wheels, trunk mounted Moroso Battery Box with a Interstate AGM battery, HID Headlights, Saleen rear spoiler, Bullit Performance Pedal kit and Wolf Car cover.

----

I test drive it tomorrow. I don't know enough to know what all these improvements and alterations mean. Can anyone here give me a succinct appraisal of these customized additions?

It's got 49,000 miles.

Thanks for any help.

(I know it's not the car driven in Bullitt. Obviously. But what the hell. It's within my price range.)

my advice? easy.


you want it? can afford it? do it.


just bought an 06 convertible for the much better half. married in 96, car is an 06, gave it to her in 16.


she's a cancer survivor. I may have to go back to a 2nd job to pay for it, and I really don't care.


my advice is, life is short. you've always wanted one, can afford it, and like it? squeeze the trigger, take that beauty home, get it just the way you want it, and enjoy it.

Owner must have put a lot of time and money into the car.

What is asking price?
