The trans is the only item on that list that would be unusual to fail so quickly on these cars. Of course, this is assuming that the car is actually driven more than half throttle. Not everyone idles around all 10k miles. And unfortunately, not everyone knows how to drive.

You can add water pump, fuel pump, odd electrical issues, cooling system, perhaps even major engine/oil consumption issues, etc to that list if you really wanted to.

Either way, if you are buying a 10k mile Cobra, they are items that one would most certainly want to BUDGET for. I'm not saying that those items WILL need to be addressed, just to make sure you budget under the assumption that they might need to be addressed.

Or tell someone to buy a car and promise them that nothing will be wrong with it and everything will be perfect.
