input about it being the economy or vehicle depreciation or what have
you i think $20,000 or $30,000.00 dollar difference is big between the amount invested in the thing and what someone gives you for it or you sell
it for.Either way whether it is whatever people say the reason is the economy,depreciation etc i don't see these things as something very good to spend a BUNCH of money on.I don't really see $50,000.00 or more in one of these let alone $127,000.00.I dumped out around a total of $30,000.00
and that was it for me and it wasn't even completely done to where you could drive it.
compaq,

From your logic then it would make perfect sense in your case to buy a finished used Cobra as the original owner will take the financial loss and then you can enjoy not only the car, but a bargain as well.

Let us know what you end up buying.
