Smile Should I buy a 2001 Cobra?

I love my car more than anything but I came upon a 2001 Cobra for sale today. It has about 85,000 mile on it though, but it is in perfect condition and hasn't been raced. I think the price is pretty good, but I don't know for sure. I think he wants around 13,000 for it!! Tell me what you guys think!!

i say no.....but that's just me. Why get a car with 80+k on it when you can just save an extra 7 or 8k and get an 03 next year with less miles on it. I would rock what you got for now, and then in a year when prices go down, get something that's gunna be a lot faster than that 01.

It is a White Coupe, its already lowered about 1" 3/4 but other than that it is in perfect shape that I can tell. The mile do scare me though because I know if I get it that I will be adding gears and going to the track. It looks really good but I would much rather have an 03 or 04 Cobra! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

There's your reason NOT to buy this car. You'll be wishing you waited and saved a little longer for the 03.

Skip it, I was in the same situation last week myself. Was going to get a white 03 Mach, but decided I wouldnt be happy without a cobra. So, thats what Im doing.

Geez bashing the 01 cobra today are we? i belive mostly stock GT's are considered less than a cobra?

85.000=way to many, youll be rebuilding soon at that mileage, its not worth it, save up for an 03, the 01 is quick..... i cant imagine an 03.....

Try looking at an 03/04 Mach 1....stock for stock it's a better car than the 01 cobra....a little faster also. I'm not bias I swear
