Question New To The Mustang World!

Im new here and im looking to get a mustang.
I drive a truck now and im looking to sell it for about 3,000

so the price range im looking in to is around 13-15,000.

I've been looking for awhile and the thing that has caught my eye is the 2003-04 mach 1's.
Is it worth spending a little more and getting a cobra, or buy the mach 1 and then bolt on with the extra money?

Any and all advice will help

First of all welcome to the forums!

Mach 1s are great cars...Sexy...powerful...and pretty affordable. With a little bit more money you can get a NICE 03-04 cobra which would be by far a better decision considering the upgraded rotating assembly and blower.

And im talking like 2-3k extra w/ that price range. So i mean id just check out some pics and see which one you like the best.

Both have a 4v but the machs can't hold much more then a regular gt can lol...so in my opinion GO COBRA!

Welcome again!

welcome to the forums, machs are great, but I'd say try to get a 03/04 cobra... wish I could have
