Save up a little longer and pick up a 1999 or newer. (1999 was 1st year with IRS among other things.) You should be able to pick up a nice 1999 with low miles (60k) for around $14k - $15k.
Good luck,
(Nice looking GT by the way)

I totally agree... go for a 99+
Maybe you could save up a few more months or so and get a 03-04? When that new cobra drops in 07, I bet a lot of cobras will be on the market. I want a cobra so bad, and I've considered waiting until the shelby comes out to see what happens in the market for cobras or a mach 1.

RE: What cobra should i buy?
Probally gonna get Railed REAL hard for this, but get a 5.0 cobra in nice condition. I couldve bought a 96-98 cobra no problem but i knew that in the end, no replacement for displacement. The 5.0 cobras do have set backs, just like any others though. No IRS (You find that bad, then stop reading this) or any with an above 250 hp rating (R's excluded). and they did weight a little much but the motor is a 5.0, around since the damn dinosaur and it has gt-40 heads and better injectors. suspension is same as all others till the irs era as well in the94-95s. It will cost you HALF of what it will cost to mod out a 4.6 in a 5.0. dont belive me? GO price out headers,heads and all the other goodies for a motor on both, and have your calculator ready.

i was looking for a 96-97 cobra earlier this spring but a little too much $$ for me. i settled for a 94 Cobra however and i love it, although the 96+ cobra was what i wanted. havent had the money to do anything to it, but someday........

FYI, I just bought a 2001 Cobra for $15K. High miles (74000), but I love it. At 10K you're not that far off. I heard a modified supercharged 2001 beats a stock 2003 cobra based on the 2003 config. I'm sure the 03 owners will disagree

RE: What cobra should i buy?
I bought my 04 cobra in Jan of 05. Its now 6 months later and I love it as much as the day I first got it. People on the road must hate me, I drive like a maniac, but I can't help myself. Exceeding 100mph is almost a daily event for me. And, in my opinion, 03 -04 cobras are the best looking mustangs.
