I originally wanted a mach 1 but since there arent any in my area, i am considering a cobra. Do they have the same engine? car has 90k miles and he wants $9999. what do you think? btw i know there is a search option, doesnt seem to help me out much...

 

10k is too much IMO for 90k miles. (and according to KBB)

Id try and find a Mach, More hp, comes with a SRA, and the styling is top notch.

 

i'll try to break down the differences for you.
They have different heads, the machs flow better and have different exhaust cams, better suited for N/A i belive. The intake is damn near the same some people will say its different, i think its the same, if i remember correctly from flow charts. The cobra has IRS as opposed to the Machs Solid Rear Axel. IIRC Cobras run a 13.7-13.9ish 1/4, machs are more 13.5-13.8ish.

 

High Mileage.

I would try to figure out how it was driven for that 90000...if it's completely stock than it might be alright...for about $7500.

I paid $9000 for my 99 Cobra, but that's with 55000 miles on it and a brand new $10,500 crate engine.

 

Huh. I drove it, seems solid. Only has weld in exhaust and a cai. I was thinking about 8,500 would be fair but I dont know I think I might keep looking. Thanks for your input, I thought they had only minor differences in the engine, thanks for informing me.

 

Cobra is a better motor! I mean that could just be my opinion but the Machs look better. If you decide on a Mach get Red! haha

 

The '99 that I bought a few weeks back was stock except for an intake & Saleen spoiler, 83k miles, mint interior, no body damage. I paid an even $9k for it, which I thought was a fair price. I probably could have gotten another $500 off, but the dude was selling b/c him and his wife's hours were getting cut at work and I didn't wanna feel like I was taking advantage of the situation.

I'd say anywhere between $8-$8.5k would be a fair offer in your case.
