Default 127k too much on a cobra?
1997 cobra. 127k for $5900
sellers description
Car has new battery, alternator, clutch, serpentine belt, belt tensioner. All fluids have been flushed and changed plus much more. Car runs and drives great and is in great shape, it needs only front and rear bumper paint. Oil has always been changed between 2500-3000 miles and I have receipts for almost everything
planning on painting it black if i buy it.

I think the price is kinda high (based off of the bad paint) but if it was maintained well mechanically, I would say 127k definitely isn't too much.

I wouldn't say too low... you're talking about a 12 year old car with 127k miles here.

if you want a black one, buy a black one....cost to paint it will make the car way not worth it

In Texas, 127K is low miles. $5900 is still a tad rough on the price.

I just piad $6,750 for a 97 Cobra with 86,000. Nearly flawless paint, perfect interior with Roush exhaust and side skirts. So I'd say $5,900 for 41,000 more miles and poor paint is a tad too much IMO...
