I am currently looking for a 2003 Cobra, but there seems to be a wide range of modifications, prices, mileage and TSB issues. I am not quite sure what I need to look for, or what I need to avoid, when looking over potential cars for purchase.
Please enlighten me on the IN's and OUT's of what to look for and what I should avoid.
A few questions that I would like to get answers for are:
1. What build dates / build #'s tend to have the least amount of problems?
2. Is there a way to tell if the car was ever chipped or pullied?
3. What are the common issues with this year of car?
4. Any concerns or issues specific to the convertible 03 Cobras?
5. Any specific methods to find certain issues before, during or after a test drive?
6. What modifications should be deemed as "minor" and not of major concern? (ie - Pulley size, chip, etc)
Any other tips, advice or input would be great. I am hoping that this will be a detailed thread so others can use this when they go to look for an 03/04 Cobra.
