[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 2202928, member: 6727"] It's going to be hard to determine whether or not ANY car you look at has been modded as it is very easy to put an '03/'04 back to stock. A careful eye might pick up on scratches on the pulley shaft which would mean the pulley had been removed. I would do an Oasis report and see what work might have been done on the car you're considering. I would also lean towards an '04 as the '03 had a few more issues. There were a number of issues with both the '03 and the '04 that you would want to check for. Here's just a partial list. The "tick" (required a replacement head) Stalling (required an ECU reflash) Paint defects (especially on the hood) Transmission problems There are more that you can find doing a search. My best advice is to try to buy a Cobra from a known and trusted source. A number of folks here have bought/sold Cobras to other forum members. I actually sold mine to a guy in Arizona. He got a great car! :-) Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
