I personally dont like new edge cars, so Id only buy an sn95. plus 4v's are better than 2. It just depends on what you want, its proboly not a smart investment, but then again, used mustangs arent really an investment anyways.
I bouht my new edge used. the 96 is in just as good condition as my 01 except with only 79k on the clock. I like the new edge better than the older sn95, except for the cobra. the front bumper makes all the difference in the world. plus... it is a five speed.
I would say go for the Cobra...For 1, its a Cobra.... 2, its a Cobra.... 3, its a 32V.... 4, its a 5 speed!!! 5, it has lower miles..... need i say more???
96-98 Cobas are one of the sexiest stangs ever produced. All 4 colors produced in 96 are nice which are Crystal white, Black, Laser Red, & Mystic... Which color is it?? The hood & front fascia on the Cobra's are classic too. No disrespect, but your car has 118k & its an auto. Im not an auto fan, unless its like CobraRed's...
Im biased though...i used to own a rio red 97 cobra....
Thats what i was origionally looking for, but i fell in love with my new edge and it isn't going anywhere. Ever. I'll just have to get another one i guess. Oh well.
