I am looking at 2 different mustangs. Which should i get. A 1999 mustang cobra with 86k or a 1999 GT with only 38k? The cobra is from a individual, the GT is from a used car dealer. The cobra is about $2000 more than the GT.

THANKS

 

Personally, I'd go for the one with less miles, but it should come down to what you want to do with it. If you want to build a GM/import killer, you should go the Cobra route, although I'd keep looking for one with way less miles. If you want a nice street cruiser, the GT is a great ride that can still make good power too. Take your time because you dont want to look back and say, "I wish I would have bought this one."

 

How much are they actualy asking for the cobra? with those miles, depending on condition and if its a vert or coupe, 13k or so is about the MOST I would pay.. Probably closer to 11,500...

The Cobra will be faster and handle better with the IRS... either can be made much faster.
And you can pick up a 99+ GT with a little more mlies for under 10k pretty easily now as well.

 

The one with less miles.

 

i made a mistake. The GT is $11,900 and the cobra is $10,000. sorry, let me know

 

The Cobra has 86K and thats alot. If we assume this will be a daily driver, then in a year, you will have a car with almost 100K. No telling what that cars been through with that many miles. The price seems fair, but in a few years you could be looking at a rebuild. Keep looking 2.3
