Anyway I got home and started looking info up on the internet and found a lot of negative feedback on the 99 Cobras. Stuff about them not having the advertised horsepower, and ford replacing parts to fix this. Does anybody know anything about this, and if it would be worth paying about $18,000 for it? by the way, it has 30,000mi... thanks!Not as good of a deal as you think, IMO. For a '99, I wouldn't pay much over trade-in value of the car. $16,500-$17k tops is what I'd pay.
Gimme a '98 w/ less miles any day of the week over the '99.
