High mileage Cobra

No, that mileage is not too bad. If the alternator is original you are at risk of having to replace it. Other than that you should be good if it was maintained properly.
I seriously doubt you will get the rustproof crap out of the engine bay.

That's alot of miles for an 04. 24k is a bit high for the amount of miles and rust proofing is the PITA to remove.
no clue about rust proofing, mine is an 03 with 36k,., so a year newer with 55k seems like a ton 
I would keep looking. I just brought one up from Nevada, and I paid 25k for it and only had 36000 miles on it, and a bunch of mods too.
thats not bad mileage at all. high mileage is 100k+. 55k is good for an 04, the 09's are just around the corner. that's only about 11k a year.
i think $19-20k would be a fair deal.
I always thought mods brought down the value of the car for the most part. :shrug: I know there are exceptions, but I would rather pay more for a car that was stock than a car with a KB and risk having a bad tune or something done incorrectly. That's just me I guess. It's the same reason that I don't let anyone touch my car. There are too many people that do things half-assed just to say their car is faster. I'd rather KNOW it's done right because I did it or someone that I trust did the work.
HAHA, You're freaking crazy! I just saw a black terminator that you could tell was beat to sh*t with 66k get sold for a little over $22k. I've had offers of $25k for mine and I have 54k miles on it.
I got my immaculate '03 10th with 24k miles for 25k which IMO was a VERY good deal. I'd say offer the seller around 23k and see what they say. 55k miles isn't super high but it's not going to sell for a premium like lower mile cars. As far as the rustproofing, I'm not familiar with it.
Thanks for the input....I'm thinking its a bit high too, my 90 fox has the same mileage, and that's not bad for 18 years. I can't get over the rust proofed engine bay, I think I'll pass. Not too many 03-04 Cobras for sale up here, so my search continues.
mine has 68k on the odo and still pulls strong!
hey, i got the same miles on my 03 54,000.still runs strong!
I bought mine last week. I paid 26k delivered to my house. It is a 04 with 33k. I got a call last night at 4am telling me to look out my window. I peeked through the blinds and this is what I saw.
I got the car from a dealer in Chicago. Does anyone know anything about the history of the car?
Thanks

Hey ToasTT. Don't forget, you are in Canada and most of the respondents are in the U.S. Thye paid $15,000 less in the first place for our cars. The dollars they quote are irrelevant to us.
I have an 04 with 68000KM (I'm in Toronto) and I think it's legitimately worth about $30,000 CDN.
The car you are looking at has to turn you on. If you have reservations, don't bother. And yes, removing rustproofing from the engine compartment is a huge pain. Look for another one.

my '03 has 71k miles; runs better than new
My car was hit by the rust proofers gun too man that craps every where and a PITA to get off. Luckly it sits so low no one can tell that craps all over the bottom of it.
i got 59k on my '03. still pulling strong, sounds healthy.
