Stick with the Cobra. I know it's always tempting to trade up as soon as you pay something off (I'm guilty of the same), but sit back for a while and enjoy the fact you've got a car with low miles, worth some decent coin, that's paid off. Just cruise it around and enjoy it for what it is for a couple years--you've got the hatch for serious play time.

If it was an '03-'04 Cobra, I'd tell you that you were crazy. But since it's a '99, I'd say the cars are very similar in value and you should probably get the one you really want if you don't think you'll be happy otherwise. Count on coming out on the bottom end of the deal though.

Mach 1 is a wonderful car but I think in all honestly in the END you will be more happy with a terminator!!! I know I would. Come on!!! You cannot beat 500 wheel horsepower for around 1000$ in mods! Spend a little more and the sky is the limit with the 03/04 block and tranny. Don't get me wrong a Mach is a sweet car for sure.

His Cobra is a '99, not an '03-'04.
