This - exactly. I think the problem would come in if you are commenting directly about a car listed for sale on the same public forum in a negative way that hurts the sale for the owner. We also must keep in mind that most Cobra owners aren't like us who visit and participate in forum discussions. They just want a cool car. Nothing wrong with that. They don't have the desire or the time to fill themselves with all the information they need to make an informed decision. They may buy on impulse, or they may use a broker or friend to sort through all the details for them. For these reasons they may pay a higher price, and that's OK. No need to publicly tell them that a certain car may be over priced in a case like this. They are getting what they paid for, and they don't have time to scour the internet for the best car/deal over a course of months/years.
