Great comments and opinions everyone so keep them coming. A thread like this could go for days but its nice to get all the different viewpoints. Car purchases conflict me more than anything! I would say my biggest factory is the purchase of a car and being able to get my money out of it in 6 months. I hate to think negative but I think it is foolish not consider this. I am a gear head but at the end of the day and believe I will love the cobra but I've never owned anything with a carb, no power steering, no AC, just the reality of a cobra. I know the price increase would slightly buffer you if you are able to get in $4000K ahead of the game on a new BDR but I know the BDR will cost a bit more than the used SPF because you get caught up in the options and just keep adding and adding or at least you want to. Hands down if I was able to get into a used BDR with comparable drivetrain at a 15K lower price point than the SPF I would probably swing that way due to the lower initial investment and the belief that I could also sell at the same price again and climb into a SPF or the BDR of my dreams. At this moment I hate to spend at the top of my budget but its a hell of a car and I have seen, and ridden in it and I would call it "sorted". BDR why did you have to have a price increase in the next 17 days!!! I would really like to visit Vintage and just see different cars and go for a ride to compare SBF / mod motor. Its not the end of the month and planes fly everyday so who knows it may be worth the peace of mind to do just that.
Recap of used SPF below

*SPF 18xx

-Most important I like the color and just a very well taken care of car that is really classy....no stripe which I'm a fan of on this car.
