Sell my '88GT for a '99 Cobra? Opinions Please!!

daveGT · 03-27-2003, 10:36 PM

I'm not sure if this thread belongs in this forum, but it seems that this group could offer some informed opinions.

I am very seriously considering selling my '88GT for a '99 Cobra. There are some at very attractive prices now. I am getting a little tired of the buck-board, noisy uncomfortable ride that the '88 gives me. I'm getting to the point (age?) that I would like a daily ride with a bit more "refinement."

Any opinions of the '99 Cobra? Are they reliable cars? What of the infamous lack of power debacle? Can one verify if the car in question had the HP fix? Any nagging problems with these cars?

Thanks for any input. And my quite nice '88GT (new engine and paint, to name a few) will be for sale soon if anyone is interested.

If I were you I would go for an 01' Cobra. Heres why.

You know for certain it really makes 320 HP.

The interior is much nicer. (seats especially)

The rear bumper cover says Cobra instead of Mustang.

These are the reasons I chose an 01' over a 99' cobra.

You can pick up a low mileage 01' cobra for around 19-20K if you look around.

Later,
