Default High mileage?

Hey all,
I've been searching around for a new car (mustang, of course ) to replace my 200,000+ mile Expedition and I came across a '01 Cobra. It looks really clean, but it has almost 100,000 miles. I really like this one but am I going to have to worry about maintenance soon?

the miles are a bit high but it appears to be bone stock, which is awesome. i would talk them down a couple grand and ****** it up.

basic 100k maintenance. Looks like a good deal to me.

Looks super clean.

These engines last awhile, do it up.

Always talk down. If they shoot you a price you dont like, walk out. I walked out 3 times buying my Cobra.

They always call back.

If it is going to be your DD I would find a lower mileage one, but if its going to be your weekend warrior/toy I say go for it!

I'm going to look at it Saturday and try to talk them down a bit.
There aren't many other Cobras, or even GT's for that matter, in my area that meet my criteria. I'm willing to deal with the mileage for a car that is as clean as that.
