Love the cobras but it all depends. Mileage, condition, and price.

6600 I think thts too much. I feel tht the 95-98 cobras are the ones being sold the most on Craig's right now. There's better ones trust me just keep looking

If it is in really good condition it would be a steal up here in canada. I would definitly look at it and make an offer of 5800 and settle at 6. There great cars. Love the 4v 4.6.

He has more than that. A stock 97 Gt has 215 stock so your saying all those mods he only picked up 15hp? That doesn't seem right.
