How many owners has it been through? Does it have a solid service history? These cars, by that I mean the sn95 Cobras, are solid even up to 200,000 miles I've seen with the obvious TLC. Unfortunately, most have been abused and as a result, show the wear. I picked my '96 up with just over 70,000 on the clock but she was bone stock and still ran like new. The key is finding one that has been treated good and you won't be disappointed. Other than those things, I would ensure the IMRC system is in good order. On your test drive, take her up through the RPMs a couple times. You should feel a slight "kick" or increase in power around 3,500 RPMs as the IMRCs open up. Since it's approaching the 100,000 mark, you will most likely experience a lack of performance from the rear differential as the friction plates are probably worn if they haven't been replaced already. Easy way to check that is a quick acceleration from a stop, just enough to break the rears loose, and see if it's pulling the infamous one-wheel (right side) peel out. Let us know how the test drive goes...and pics if possible are great!</blockquote>
