I am buying my first 03-04 cobra. I will list what I am looking for and my options and hopefully some people who are very fMiliar with these cars can help me out
Wants
1. reliability ( I know it will take maintenance)
2. hold its value as good as possible
3. convertible
4. 04 or 10th anniversary
I am not concerned with massive amounts of power or razor sharp handling. I like these things but they are not a must. This will be a fun family weekend car.
QUESTIONS ON OPTIONS TO BUY
1. what mileage is the sweet spot (not enough might equal problems, too much might equal problems) ?
2. does modded equal more chance for issues ?
3. will stock hold its value better
4. are "collector type cars worth the premium" (aka hold value) ? example 04 mystichrome all stock 5,000 miles 36k vs 04 very light mods 25k miles 23k
hope this isnt to confusing any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel i should be able to get a very nice car stock with 20-30k miles for 22-25k and sub 10k miles for 26-29k?
thanks
Mike
