When I ordered my new SPF in November of 2001 the used cobra prices were not what they are today. If I remember correctly, the used SPF's were high 40's to low 50's.........a little different in todays market.

With that in mind, it was a better deal for me to buy new and have the engine built the way that I wanted it and not buy into someone elses problems (if there were any). Plus the peace of mind knowing that I had a warranty on the car and engine package.

If I were to buy now I would have to think very serious about a used SPF over a new one. That 14 - 16 grand savings is a lot of coin and would pay for a lot of upgrades that you may want to do to a used one.

Anyway you look at it, the SPF is an awesome car, and with the engine being the heart of it all, I would make sure that the engine is sound and came from a reputable engine builder.
