Default 98 Cobra v.s. 99 Cobra?????

Hi all,

I'm considering buying a 98 Cobra with 29,000 miles on it. I also have the option of getting a 99 Cobra with 40,000 on it for around $1500 more. The car will be used as my daily driver. Which car will be the best buy? They are both in excellent condition... Any opinions would be much appreciated!

Thanks

up to you. I prefer the look of the SN95.. your not going to see a very big difference in performance between the 2, and the 99's had power issues due to something in the rear end that had to be fixed. Just drive each and go with wich ever you prefer while sitting in it.

If you what a better ride, go with the 99 it has IRS it handles better on a bumpy road, but it cost more to fix.

I personally like the 99 body style better. Either way your going to get a sweet ride.
