Nor are some owners/sellers as honest as what they should be.

I am not singling anyone out here, its just there are some owners are fanatical, some are enthausiatic, some are keen and some purchase a dream that did not materilise in reality.

Look for the seller that is fanatical or enthausiatic, understand their experiences and the knowledge and love for their car. This is where you will find 'the one'. The one you should at least get to drive if you are a serious buyer. Drive it to determine how it fits you, your requirements and your dream.

Deep down there is bugger all rational about these. For example, similar coin will get you a nice 2nd hand AMG C55, has everything and grunt to boot. Great as a everyday driver and a fun weekend car...... but.... and I mean but... does it stir that emotion, that emotion that draws us to these cars. Will it bring a smile to you face evertime you see it, start it, drive it.

The right car may not be what your original ideals are, keep the mind (and wallet) open.


OK, enough of this spiritual speak...... beer, boobs, cobras... there... back on track.
totally agree im starting the think the one I looked as its " on consignment" I believe has been traded in on a car in the yard he is a merc dealer of sorts im starting to smell a rat im thinking the dealer actually owns the car and any questions are fielded off to the old owners in any case that one os off the list . if I could only get over my fear of a chev in a cobra I know of a Harrison that might end up the right price to convert me to the dark side lol .

in the mean time back too boobs cobras and beer
