Hi Flygirl,
I'm commenting from a long way away so my thoughts might be way off-beam and completely irrelevant.
...and with that over-rider, here they are...are you thinking of testing the water with this purchase, or is ownership of this particular car likely to be a long-term thing?
If the former, then consider how much you could sell the car for if you had to in the near future.
If the latter, then what about leaning on the dealer for things like some sort of extended warranty, considering the age of the car, and maybe fitment of some of the upgrades from the later cars, as well as negotiating on price. The asking price does seem high (I'm not yet a Cobra owner, but like you I've been 'lurking' around for some time), and looking at Cobra Country listings again, some of the cars listed there also seem quite highly priced. Bargains should be available in these somewhat 'challenged' economic times.
The mileage is what....3500miles? That's very low, and if everything else looks good.....do you feel good about this particular car? You have been asking all the right questions; how long have you been looking at this car, so what is your 'gut feeling' telling you?
Cheers! 
Glen
