Take a look at Cobra Country or some other site selling Cobras and see what the same manufacturer Cobra is selling for. That's what your Cobra will be valued when you want to sell it or buy another. If you want to insure it for $80k to get your money out of it, that's OK too. It will cost you though.
Without pointing to any particular seller, just a word of caution for certain online listings, asking prices are one thing, but actual selling prices are another. I'll leave it at that
