Any problems with higher milage cobras?

cadwz24 · July 7th, 2010, 04:17 PM

I found a good deal on an 03 cobra....with 93k.

Are there any known issues with the chassis, trans, or engine?

Ive been searching online, but not finding much.

Thanks

Probably not gonna find a lot of info, because there isn't a lot of Cobra's out there with that many miles.

That's about the average amount of miles for an 8 year old car. So make sure and check out the usual stuff you would on a used with that many miles.

Also, chances are if that's the original clutch than it's close to shot.

Just be smart and ask a lot of questions.

Chances are, if it has that many miles and hasn't developed "the tick" than it's either been fixed, modded, or pretty safe to assume it's not going to get it.

Plus one on the bushings though. The factory ones are garbabe. Don't matter how many miles the car has. But chances are, at this point, they are worn out.
