No reason to get rid of it. With that kind of mileage you wouldnt be able to replace it dollar for dollar with any other car. These Cobras still have the same 'WOW' factor they did when they were 1st introduced.

I feel the same way. I will own this car 3 years in March. I usually average 18 months on cars. I'm not planning on selling this car anytime soon. 12800 miles and I still catch myself going out to the garage just to look at it. Step up to a twin screw and you'll be setting a place for it at the kitchen table.

yeah, this is also the first car that I haven't become tired of after a year or two. It doesn't hurt that this car will smoke 95% of cars out there and still drives like a bone stock car. :) however the twin screw does add to the fun :thumbsup:

i've had it for alitle over a year and considering selling it, but only because i really need a truck, it's looking like i might have to swallow it and just get another car payment though cause it'll be hard letting go of her. i recently ran the miles up to 27k so i'm not too happy with that. i got the car with 19k a year ago, so i feel i drove it too much. but, i can't freaking help it.

This is mustang #7 for me, and for the first time I can honestly say I'm completely happy with my car. Had a 97Gt and wanted 5.0, got the 5.0 and wanted a 97 Cobra, got the 97 Cobra and wanted a better 97 Cobra, after that 93 coupe, after that a "project coupe" after that tossed around thoughts of a Supra, M3 or a Terminator. Extremely happy that I stuck with Ford.

I've had my '03 for 4+ years with 9,800 miles! Can't wait to get it out running again as soon as this Kansas winter with all the salt, etc. gets over with! I have no intention of selling this car until I can't drive anymore!!

I'm the original owner of mine. Almost 9K on it & it's a true winter virgin. Only 11 payment left & then it's all mine to tastefully modify. This is also the longest I have ever owned one car. I'm NEVER EVER going to sell it... :beer:

A lot of very happy and contented Terminator owners on this thread. Wait until the spring when those in the north get to take theirs out for that first "out of hibernation" drive. :)

ive had the car about a year now (5 months the first time, almost at 7 months this time) and i can honestly say that after losing her once, and remembering how i felt not having her around, that when i got the chance to get her back i hopped on it; i can honestly say i believe this will be the first car i pay off completely.

i cant wait till i can say ive had it for 4+ years. hell these days im lucky to keep a car for 1 year of consecutive ownership! so unless the universe ends in 2012, it will be fully mine in July of 2013!
