what to look for in an 03-04 CObra
 

I have heard of a few common problems what should I check for...Thanks for the help I am in a search for one but I have run across 3 Mach 1's at the same dealer 2 03's 1 04 2 black 1 red
10,220 miles on the red 03 for 22,450
14,000 on the black 03 for 25,000 yikes they said because of the color
23,000 on the black 04 for 25,000 because it is a yr newer..
any thoughts??? a little high priced?
thanks,
Mike

If you really want a cobra, you can find a very nice one for 25,26k.I just bought mine for 26 with 14k on the clock and stock..machs are sweet also though

IF you are looking for a 94-98 body style look at autotrader.com and check out Georgia Cobras, there were several in there that were about 10-11k with 40-60k miles. And a couple of them were convertibles. Just don't know if you wanna make that kind of drive for a car.

This is one of the ones I was thinking about....
1997 Cobra

Damn close to getting this one


***edit, nevermind. I see the "03-04" part of your title now**** pardon the dumbassedness....

It's ok I have been looking for sometime with no luck but good things come to those who wait and 26 for one with 14k miles you got a great deal....Any pics of the newly arrived beast??

OK, so I am really bored at work so I decided to so some searching for ya...here's what I found...(if you buy one of these, I get a finders fee right? lol)


cobra 1

cobra 2

cobra 3

cobra 4

$24,995

$25,795 with 13k miles

Wow, 3 mach 1's at one dealership! That's crazy. I forked over $22k for my 04 Mach 1 and it had 28,000 miles on it. So the red one with 10k miles seems like it's an ok deal. They should be able to come down in price on all 3 of them though.

Check out the production numbers on the mach 1 registry.

Wow that's quite a collection of stangs that dealership has! I've never heard of 3 used mach's on 1 car lot.......You'll love whatever one you decide on.....you can't go wrong with a cobra or mach

You should have saw it last summer honestly they had 5 cobras 3 machs and about 7 gt's unbelieveable...man they even have about 5 used 05's there now..they are a big mustang dealership i couldnt believe it either

That's sweet man! I found my Mach at a VW dealership and the guys didn't know jack about mustangs so I was able to talk them down.....they were amazed of why I wanted to trade in my 03 GT Vert for an 04 coupe.....they didn't get it and I wasn't going to tell them! ha ha ha

There are no mach 1s in mineral grey unless they were painted by someone else.

Its amazing those foreign dealerships usually dont know what they have....And when I said Mineral gray I was referring to a Cobra....I dont know which 1 to go with I like them both....Any problems with the Mach 1's I should know about anyhtign to look for, when I am looking for one??
Thank you,
Mike

There also is no 03-04 mineral grey cobra.

look for a cobra that still has the supercharger pulley guard on. its less likely they have been tinkering with boost from it then.

Yes the less mods the better...and there was an 03 Mineral gray Cobra

Before I got my Mach i went to the www.mach1registry.com and searched like crazy to find out everything I could about the 03/04 Mach 1. That's the best way to get info about the Mach 1's.....you won't find a lot of conversation about Mach 1's on this site because anytime someone asks about them people on this site will tell you to just get a Cobra.

Here is a TSB report for Mustangs in general, but there are a couple of Mach 1 specific. http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/...ead.php?t=8375

thanks for the informative site I appreciate it...I drove the redo ne at the dealer last night it was sweet :punk:
