Default 03 cobra, might buy- help from 03-04 owners

i can go white or black, im leaning black. is owning a white car difficult? how do the white cobras look, i barely have seen any except on line. i love how the artic white z06 is so give me some feedback. still i lean black>white though how about the majority of the eyes out there on mf?

whats a good base price for a cobra with 40-60k mi? $12-18k? or less? more?

and lastly, would you go coupe or go with the conv (w/ style bar)?

im in a 03 coupe now i love it. i wish the cobras had a hardtop convertible like the benz and all those luxuries heh.. but eh i could enjoy a conv. i do live in vegas/desert haha. but quality wise, looks wise, does it flow? or what.. i still lean coupe>conv, but i hear the conv are lighter and the top overall looks good as long as its new. i hear the tops last on these 0304s? true?

anyways shoot some feedback thanks! (im having too many problems with this gt)

Black coupe FTW!

$12k is low for a Termi. I have seen them from $15k-$24k. I have heard white shows more dirt. Other than that it just depends on your tastes. But to me there isn't anything sexier than a blacked out Cobra (Coupe).

yeah i feel you on that. wrapped in some ccws mm,

anyways theres a couple verts a friend of mine turning around, he can get me one off for like 12-14 so im considering it.. and then maybe dishing the 03 bucket. paid her off..

i just dont know if i should keep my 03 coupe and have both or not. the gt is just ****tin out man, i barely drive her and shes full of codes.. all cobra'd out though.. just hit her with this new candy midnight blue, with some clears. looks too nice to let go. =/

other than that my third outcome is this 03 z06 coupe blk with like 50k mi on it for 25k so im checking that out this week too.

within the next week if i dont isolate the issue on the gt than im taking her of registration and throwing her under the deep knife.

if anyone cares heres my threads on that tech side;

Black always looks sharp on a Mustang, but I'd much rather keep a white car clean than a black one.

White is actually pretty forgiving for dust.

The convertables are heavier due to more reinforcement to meet safety standards.

An 03-04 Cobra going for $12,000 would be 100,000 miles or more and not in "great" condition.
