Default 97 cobra vs 02 GT

right now i own a 02 GT with63,1xxmiles andmods listed in my sig and it is fully loaded leather sun roof blah blah and i just saw a 97 red cobra sor sale 5 min from my house. the cobra only las 14,3xx miles! it costs $16,900. i have about $5500 saved for a kenne bell for my 02 but do u think it would be worth it to trade mine in and use my money as like the whole payment and use that as a base because it is a 4v and only 14k on it or should i just keep mine and save some more for the kenne bell.

16,900 is way too much for that car! I just passed one by with 43kmi on it for $8,000 it was a white loaded gray leather 98 cobra
The diff between 14kmi and 43kmi isn't much for a 10 year old car if it has been taken care of because bushings rot around the same time and same with gaskets and seals. Sitting longer is actually worse for a car than one that is driven on occasion!

did you eat paint chips as a kid? .... J/k, but the GT is much nicer - its just one of those things... like gaymaros, they are faster... but would you trade your mustang>>>>?

it matters what you'd like to do in the future i'd say, and how these guys say its way to overpriced, they have no clue what they are talking about. i see 99-04 GT's priced for like $13k with 50k miles and stuff, so it's a deal for a 14k cobra. but if you want a drag car in the future, get the cobra, if you want considerable power keep your car and get a kenne bell, but the cool factor of having a cobra is way more than a "dime-a-dozen" new edge. imo of course.

If you really want a cobra, sell your gt, buy a 97 that has 60k on it for under 10 grand, then put the rest into the engine. Get a kb for the cobra. Whatever you do, dont pay 17 grand for a 97. Thats redicuous.
