It looks like is has a whipple supercharger. Only thing is that it's a vert and maybe the engine is not healthy.
They're asking $17,9

Ask them to do a Compression check. Nothing wrong with verts especially during the summer

Is that the stock supercharger? If it's is they painted it or powder coated it black. What's mounted in the trunk? Did this thing have a meth kit on it? I'd definitely want to do a compression test on it before purchasing.

If its modified yet ended up at one of those ghetto car lots I personally wouldn't trust the vehicle's integrity. Unless, you're prepared to shell out to repair short cuts or an engine overhaul soon.

^^^ What he said and for a couple thousand more you can have a 2013 5.0, which IMO would be the better route. Good luck.

OP,

I've never been a fan of these flyby dealers. Sure, you get the occasional vehicle that's been treated correctly. but 9/10 they've been traded in due to issues or are from an auction in Cambodia.

Its your call.

Clean cobra but to who knows what it has gone through. Maybe look on someother sites see if u can find the previous owner.

There's much better deals out there on cobras
I'd probably look into a used 2012 gt for that price. You can find some very clean coyotes for right around 20k

I love it when they say "very little wear and was NEVER abused". I have worked in these kinds of car lots and let me tell you, I would never buy a car from these places at all!!! Buy a car from CarMax or a new car dealer. Its okay to buy a used car from a new dealer.. See when the cars are shit, than they take it to the car lots and the little private car dealers buy it and sell it. You may get lucky and find a good car once in a blue moon, but its just not worth the risk

I wonder why the motor was replaced at only 75k?

I was going to purchase a 2015 mustang gt last week but Somethings came up. Now just thinking of getting something a little cheaper for now. I was getting the 2015 for invoice price.
