I'll try to be brief on this and not ramble. When I went SN95 shopping last year I was looking for a Yellow/Comp Orange Mach 1, or a DHG Bullitt. After several disappointments I stumbled onto my Cobra. Car is super clean with low miles (54K roughly). I love the car, it is a blast to drive, my main complaint is it is black (which is sweet when clean, but it's not the color I was looking for), and that is isn't one of the more rare Mach 1/Bullitts. That being said, I stumbled onto an 03 Yellow Mach at a dealer for a little under 12K. My Cobra books in at around 10K trade in, so I wouldn't need to spend much to get it. The main drawback is the Mach has 102K miles on it. However, it is the model I want, and the color I want.
I imagine it isn't nearly as clean as my Snake (due to the miles), but I am at that point on the Cobra where I'm going to start modding it, and it will always nag at me that it isn't the exact car I originally wanted (the nagging kicks in whenever I have to clean it, which is often), and I don't want to dump money into it and then sell it later on and lose money. Where as I know I would hold on to the Mach for quite sometime. I will have had the Cobra for right at a year come the 15th of this month, am I crazy for considering this? I find myself constantly trolling CL/Autotrader for Mach 1's, and from what I can see the color I want is extremely difficult to find in Texas (for instance, this one is 75 miles away, the next closest one it over 600 miles away).
Anyway, bounce your opinions off me guys on what you would do if you were in my shoes, I'd appreciate it.
