Considering 1998 Cobra purchase---??
Hello Everyone,
Considering purchasing my first Cobra after owning 2 GT's (94/95) covertibles.
I have found a 98 Cobra convertible with 112,000 miles.
I am located 6 hours from the vehicle--- the owner is telling me the only issue is he hears possible 'piston slap' from 'one' of the cylinders which would need new rings.
The colors are what I am looking for and the cash price he will sell for is $6400.
? thoughts on the price and the potential to put new rings in??
Thanks in advance for you responses/advice,
Fuzzy

Thanks for your responses guys.
Unfortunately with me being 6 hours away, it could be a long day and come home empty handed.
My only experience with 'piston slap' was with one of my previously owned snowmobiles. The repair included the pistons as well as the rings and was very painfull.
Any guesses on the $$ for re-ringing all 8 pistons??
How many miles are too many??
Thanks again,
