Default In the market for a 2001-2004 Cobra

Hey guys, I am new here and looking to purchase a cobra preferrably between the 01-04 yrs. I have never owned a stang but I'm in the process of selling my Acura Cl as I have had nothing but problems ever since I put the blower on. I figured a factory blower would already be a good start, but I'm just wondering what recalls there have been besides the accelerator pedal getting stuck which isn't the greatest thing ever. This car would be a daily driver as I commute from school to work. So far I have found this cobra, http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/915675673.html
but 70k seems like a lot. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kris.

Thats really not much miles. I like these mustangs the most out of any. Me and a few guys go back in forth around town quite a bit. Just with a pulley upgrade, exhaust and some other cheap goodies they turn easy 12's in this altitude.

thanks for the input. I'm actually looking at a 2004 mach 1 w/ a kenning bell s/c this weekend w/ a little more than 11k on it. The guy said he had it dynoed 440s and mid 3s in tq, but why is the tq so low? Also, a couple of my friends said the handling is a downside to the stangs, but is this really the case?
