Sellers remorse? OK, somebody top MY remorse story! I sold Excalibur for what I paid for it, broke even. Within two months I was going nuts, HAD to have the car back. It cost me $5,000 more than I sold it to the guy for, he didn't want to sell, I insisted. I brought a paper sack full of $100 bills and just kept counting them out on his kitchen table until he folded.

Now here's the sweet part, some years later I sold the Excal again, made a $7,000 profit on the re-sale, ABOVE the $5,000 I had to pay to get the car back the second time.

Well, that was then, this is now, back then the Cobra market was HOT, HOT, HOT! It's cooled considerably these days, be glad if you can break even now. These cars really carried an investment potential at one time.
