Default Thinking about buying an 03 Cobra..

Hey guys,

I have ran across an 03 Cobra that I'm pretty interested in. It's a black 2003 coupe and it looks to be in pretty good shape. The only thing that has me second guessing myself is the mileage.... 91,000. Here's the link to the car, give me your inputs if you don't mind.

Thanks!

Miles aren't too bad. That averages just over 10,100 miles a year. Pretty standard there imo

Like they say.. Show me the carfax! When I bought m 2001 (with 58k on it) I discovered the only 2 previous owners, the 2d of which only drove the car 8000 miles in 4 years. Then I also saw it was sitting at the dealer for 5 months... Gave me a little leverage in price negotiation.

Plus you get the ease of mind knowing if it was wrecked or not. The dealership should give you the carfax free of charge.

i just bought an 03 cobra with 88k miles. as long as it was taken care of you should be fine. got to remember they came with forged motors from the factory.


mine is stock with the air silencer removed and some type of weld in muffler. put down 365/351 and after the tuner played with it a little 384/354. on 6-7lbs.

Keep in mind that Carfax will not tell you if it's been wrecked, however, it will tell you if it was reported to the insurance company.

I've heard that Carfax is not worth the paper it's printed on.....just what I've heard.

The car looks awesome!
