All,
I'd like to introduce myself as a long time lurker on the hunt for his first Mustang. I have come upon a well maintained '99 Cobra convertible that has my interest. The car is A) is a two owner, B) has 28k miles, C) in excellent overall condition without even as much as paint chip (very minor wear on the driver seat edge), D) bone stock, E) a green/parchment/saddle combo (green is a slight turn off), and F) has a firm selling price of the car is $17.5k.
I'd appreciate the opportunity to advantage of breadth of knowledge here on RAMFM by posing a few questions to the board. In no particular order they include:
1) Does the price seem in or out of line with what others are seeing? 2) Are there any problem areas I should be aware of and looking for beyond the obvious such as accident history, roof doesn't leak, etc.? 3) Any reliability issues (electrical/mechanical) I should factor into the decision making process?I want my first purchase to be an intelligent one and result in a positive experience. Heck, I'm already looking forward to performing a few mods and I haven't even bought it yet! Thanks in advance for any insight the collective can provide?I hope to go from lurker wannabe to owner soon.
Regards and thanks again,
Michael
