Default 2003 Cobra with a new motor.

Just looked at a triple black Cobra convertable. It has a new motor with only 400 miles on it per the dealer with all the paper work. Car has 40k miles on it. What concerns should I have? Would this affect the price of the car? The new motor does not have the built badge on the passenger valve cover. What other concerns should I have? Thanks

What happened tot he original engine? Sounds like somebody probably had too much fun in that car. Sounds good wiht it only having 400 miles on engine, but if it was me i would keep on looking for sure.

I would stay away from it. A new engine after 40,000 miles is wayyy too soon. I would worry about what other parts were abused and will soon need replacing.
