If you find a car on the east coast (or Midwest, etc) that you are seriously interested in but can't manage to travel to look at, you can post here and see if there is anyone on the forum who lives in the area and would be willing to look at the car for you. Not as good as looking at it yourself, but if you are new to the Cobra market, a third party may be more objective and provide you a lot of valuable feedback.
