Well all my life I saved and bought very little for myself. All the sudden, I am looking at where I am standing, financially, and maybe I can afford a Kirkham after all. If I worked one more year, past when I plan to retire, I could swing it.
I'm not sure I will do it, but I'm thinking about it. Should I purchase new and build what I want? Or a used one?
I can remember when a base model was a little over $50K and now they are $100K.

I can remember when Kirkhams were $50,000 for a base (no options) roller too! It was the Year 2007, when I bought my Kirkham.
If you've run the retirement numbers, and it fits the budget, and you really want one, then buy one. I'd buy used. They're almost always cheaper used, but you do get someone else's build.
And personally, I wouldn't base any Cobra purchase decision on who can or cannot get into the passenger seat. Who cares, it's for you.
