Default buying a cobra

I currently am thinking about buying a cobra. I saw a 99 cobra with 60,000 miles on it. it has saleen 18x9 and 18x10 in the rear wrapped in NITTO 555. I am pretty much gonna do an even trade. My 2004 GT for the 99 cobra. Is it worth it?? Give me some input on my situation.

yeah they didn't have a supercharger and it was the first year with the IRS. So parts are kinda hard to find for them

they didnt make the 320 hp mark so they had to make a performance package for them to meet those numbers. 60k miles is a lot especially for trading a 04 gt

If it was taken care of well then maybe you should do it. Are there any performance mods done to the cobra?

That would be a crazy move. The other car is 5 years older with more mileage.

make sure the guy had the "low power" TSB adressed. Personally I wouldn't do it.
