Default '03 or '04 Cobra

I am looking to purchase an '03 or '04 Cobra and I am leaning more towards the '04 because it is newer. I was wondering if there were any difference in the two of just the fact that one is newer?

i think there were different colors but that's it, i'd get the 04 cause it's newer too and hasn't had as much of a chance of being driven hard

i say buy whichever you can find the best deal on, as far as i know they are identical except the 03s have some 10th anniversary stuff.
