Newbie enthusiast with mileage question...

One should also note that it doesn't take much effort to reach under a dash and twist a knob to unhook a speedometer in these cars. Not to mention the high failure rate of gauges and other factors where owners change things to suit their tastes. Let's just say that for me personally as an end user, mileage is taken with a grain of salt (:

There is currently a CCX car locally for sale by a local high end dealer. They are advertising it as a 1000 original mile car. When you point out the obvious they stand by their statement. They have been advertising it this way for over a year now and yet it sits... It's a total pile of crap of a car and by the looks of it has 201,000 miles.

I think we can all agree that people mistakenly buy the wrong car based on wrong information and poor assumptions all the time. Unfortunately, the Cobra market buyers are likely on the wrong side of average in this regard. In the end, purchase a car from a trustworthy person and check it out for yourself. If you can't do that, pay a very qualified person to do it for you. Those are becoming harder to find these days, too.
