[QUOTE="Venom351R, post: 16552520, member: 55267"] I just think in the end If you bought this it would turn to be much more problematic than you realized. I paid just under 20K for mine last summer. There are good deals out there still at not much more than you want to spend that will give you a Cobra astronomically better than the condition this one is in. I bought mine sight unseen which freaks a lot of people out but I've known the owner and the car for the previous 10 years even though it was 1,800 miles away from me. This by no means that mine is problem free. I'm still finding some odd / weird things with the car but that's not due to the previous owner not disclosing things, its just due to the cars now being almost 20 yrs old and things wear out, break and need to be replaced over time. So you have that factor plus the dumpster fire of *KNOWN* issues with this car, there could be a lot more wrong with it such as engine problems or soon to be issues that are not even known. Its obviously led a hard life. While I'm all for saving as many of these Cobra's as possible some are just better relegated to being more of a dedicated drag car. Overall I think as a turn key weekend, project, summer only type car that most of us buy these is far at the bottom of the list as an ideal car for this. You said you did not want to spend more than 15K on one right now but even if you got this one for 10K its going to coast so much more to make the car "right" than if you just held off and used that money trying to fix this one and put it into another one that falls in the 20-22K range that would be a much better option overall. Ultimately its your choice and your money, none of us can tell you what to do with it. All we can do is throw our two cents at the wall but I would hate to see you get this car and months later see post from you saying that you are at your wits end with the car and really don't know what to do with it [/QUOTE]
