Ready to Buy - What to Look For?

DEPete · 03-22-2001, 04:09 PM

I'm ready to buy. Looking at '97 and '98 convertible Cobras. Other than the usual car stuff, is there anything specific to Cobras that I should look for? Any problems with the '97s, '98s or convertibles I should watch for? Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Watch for the tranny. Especially rough 1-2 shifts and popping out of reverse. Other then that, there are no major problems with these cars.

Cooling issue with the 96s. Right?

Good choice in cars. 96-98 Cobras are great cars to shop for if ... still stock and well maintained.
