Default what to get?

well, i basically have the chose of a 00-01 GT...or this 98 cobra i found(its nice)...Called up the guy and got some info on it...

1998 cobra white vert (tan top -says just got new top for it-)
Image here
88K miles (is that too much?)
5Speed w/ no added mods.
Says theres no major scratches or dents, just daily driver marks
Leather interior in awesome shape and everything is overall awesome condition
Cost : $10,475 (And says it can POSSIBLY be negotiated)

Should I go for this or keep searching around for a 00-01 GT? Any suggestions?

I would wait for an 01 GT, or even a cobra, 10,000 seems a little much for a 98 with almost 90k miles. You could get an 01 gt for that, with alot less miles.

Hmm. I do love the 96-98 cobras, only problem, they are right, that is pretty expensive for that mileage. I say offer him about 8k, and see what he says.

if i got it to 8K would it be worth having? and should i even get it with that tan vert top (i was thinking add tan racing stripes but heard some opinions and said it would be LAME...lol)? but i cant find any good miled 00 gt's near me...

Wait to find what you want. It took me 3 months to find mine. I was really specific on what I wanted and didnt offer slack.

I found this car at the same time the brakes went out on my beretta. needless to say... bye bye beretta, hello mustang.
