That's a very tough question to answer.

I've been tracking Superformance Cobra prices for about two years now, and in Canada the average asking price is between $70-75K. I imagine transaction prices are a bit lower. Now this is on a product that is very standardized and commands some of the strongest prices in Canada.

On the other hand, most Johnex cars are home built and the components and build quality can vary widely as a result. Asking prices for all home-built Cobras vary widely too.

In Ontario home-built Cobra kits are virtually uninsurable except through high-cost Facility Association (~$2500-3000/yr). What is the situation in Newfoundland?

I looked at a Johnex before buying my SPF. It was very nicely built by an experienced guy at home. But it wasn't as nice as an SPF. The seller wanted high $50Ks for it, but there was no way I was gonna pay that much for it. At mid $30Ks to $40K, maybe.

So ask yourself: How much is this car worth to me? It might not be worth that much to the next guy, but if you're happy with it...
