IMO, it's bad form to comment in a seller's classified ad. One of the Porsche forums allows this and sometimes it turns into a crazy free-for-all. What really irks me is that some people get upset at asking prices, if they perceive them to be too high, well above market. Sellers can ask any price they want, the market will speak. And, of course, with Porsches, there's been a rising market for several years. But all this price discussion is done in the seller's ad, which I think is inappropriate.

However, if someone wants to start a thread on a car in a discussion area, then what's wrong with a discussion?

funny how the regular know-it-all's here speak for the cobra community.

the price of the car is the price. take it, make offer, or skip. it does feel people here have personal agendas. egos.

the same people who mocked Evan's cobra CXS4206 asking price $240K++ for a kit car.

Y'all big boys with big wallets. who really cares what Mr Becker is asking for the FFR cobra. It's not your car or your money.

Ah yes, but it could be, and that is why it is being discussed, which is one of the main reasons why this forum, and this particular sub forum was started in the first place.

Well, that one went right over your head!
Read above more carefully. I don't think anyone really cares what Mr Becker is asking for or actually gets for the car. Mr Becker is the OP here. It was posted for discussion and that's what we are doing and what we do as part of the Cobra community (not just here).

And let's just leave Evan out of this...old news and he is in the wind...

Yes, thank you, I speak for the entire Cobra Community. And you're a putz.
