Hey what's up everyone just picked up a 2003 black cobra vert with high miles. After reading a ton of posts on this site I took the gamble on this car. It has 197k miles it's a one owner out of Tennesee and bone stock down to the exhaust. I live in Boston and came across this deal and ended up picking it up for $10,500. The car has a brand new ram hdx clutch and a ton of recent maintenance done. The car is in really good shape also. What do you guys think.

Looks like it was well cared for and definitely enjoyed by the owner, considering the miles. Congrats and enjoy!

Wow that's a ton of miles, not the highest, but high for sure. Good luck with it, on stock boost and if good oil was used and changed regularly, these engines will run forever. The T56 on the other hand might be ready for some love though, assuming it's never been opened.

Edit - Do you know if that's still the original top? I can't imagine it is, but you never know.

Nice pick up! For 10.5k, you can throw a rebuild on the engine of it went and still be in good position.

Thanks everyone on commenting on the car. I have a built 88 foxbody and I've always wanted a cobra since they came out. I'm sure that the top has been replaced at some point because it's in real good condition. The only thing I need to do asap is throw and exhaust on it for sure. Svtperformance is the best forum I've ever seen online!

Wow! At least he enjoyed the car instead of being afraid to put miles on it. It looks like it's in great shape. Original owner and looks stock
