Default mustang cobra's

Hey all I'm currently looking at mustang cobras. no not 05's I want one
about 2 or 3 years old. don't trust anything first year from anyone. is
there anything I should be looking out for.?
are there any trouble spots or problems weak spots in the car or chassis
that I should be aware of.
I just found out the local ford dealership here won't even work on cobras so
I have to go to Shreveport just to get the Dam thing worked on.
what year did they go to superchargers? are they reliable.
I haven't really found one that I like yet. although there is one locally
that I haven't seen yet.
black 03 convertible, auto, 27.000k, $29,995. lady driven but I think that
might be a little too much money for a 03.
well guys you tell me what your opinions are and any suggestions.

There isn't an automatic 03 Cobra that I'm aware of.

Depends on what you're gonna use the car for though man... is it gonna see
the drag strip? Are you wanting a ton of speed? Are you wanting a daily
driver? Tell us what you want.

IMO, the 03/04 Cobra's are the best bang for buck of all Cobra's.

GT but everyone has one and i really like the Cobra as i am a speed freak
and i like pure horsepower.

If you're a speed freak... get an 03 or 04 Cobra.. hands down. They look a
lot better than the 05 GT's in my opinion & also you can't beat that
supercharger whine. I'm sure Dan or Mike (WraithCobra) can chime in too
about 03/04 Cobra's.

well other than the fact that there isn't a 05 Cobra out just yet. yeah I
guess that might be a problem...

Good, that means you still have over a year of warranty. Not bad, go
drive it, it's a fun car and you'll WANT it, trust me.
