My first suggestion would be to always see the car in person so that you can look it over and take a ride in it. My second suggestion would be to not think of buying one of these cars like you would a production sports car. I personally would not be concerned about mileage in the least bit. I would be focused on overall cleanliness and quality of the car. A car with a 1000 miles could have more issues than a car with 20,000 miles. Far too many cobra owners never sort their cars out and never spend any real time driving them. I bought a car with 10,XXX miles and after owning it a few months it wasn't as sorted as it should have been. Just buy a good clean car that is the exact color combo and comes close enough on the drivetrain you want. You can almost bet you will spend a few bucks changing some things around. I'm very pleased with my SPF....I will have spent an extra $3000 after the purchase and it will have allowed my to get the car exactly like I want it for right now. I've had a pretty fast street car and a really fast turbo charged streetbike. These cars demand respect but they are not as fast and wild as people make them out to be. With a 351w you should have a really fun street car that you can really enjoy. These cars are about having a driving experience....your TT996 with a few mods will smoke one of these cars. Don't get me wrong there are some crazy Cobras out their but I am talking about your run of the mill cars that the majority of us own.
