I found a 99 black cobra with 42,000 miles on it for $4200. It is mostly stock but has the 01 cobra rear bumper and boral exaust. The seller said they would ship it to me at there cost. I ran a complete car fax and the car is clean. I could sell my car for around 10k and have 6,000 left over for mods on the cobra. What would you guys do? I'm still trying to figure out if this is a scam or not.

yea they probably rolled the odometer somehow, when i bought my old fox body the ****-head told me it had 42k on it, come to find out it had 142k because the odometers are only 5 digits

It is in CA, this is the link http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.j...Manual&max_price=&cardist=118&superSpotlight=

this is the respones I got from the seller.

Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in my 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra V8. The car has a clear title and it is in showroom condition. The unit condition is great, no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, never been wrecked and no accidents of any kind. I am located in Los Angeles, CA and I have the car with me. I will ship it from here on my expense through DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers). The payment will be handled securely through SafePay Solutions. They will handle the financial part of this transaction, I will only take care of the shipping. If you want to make this purchase, the final price is $4,200 US. I am passing through a divorce with my husband and that's why I'm selling it so cheap.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Samantha Kinman

that's BS, he's using his own payment process company and he/she is actually located in New York - not LA like the car is. Tell "her" that i might going to go look at it and see what she says.

If your not far away I would say check it out see if it is BS or not. I just can't believe that they would sell a cobra with that miles for 4,200.
