Wonder why things are slow...anyone watch the frickin news lately. Everything is negative, government spending like they are in a candy store and the stock market keeps diving on any bad news which is every day.... You have to remember that Cobras are purchased with disposable income and there is a lot less of that around right now.
I had 6 cobras in the past and strayed to a 2007 GT500 Shelby thinking I wanted to go the new route. Really missed Cobras and after having the GT500 for sale for 12 months I finally found someone that liked the black red stripe color combination that made me a reasonable offer.
Looking for a Cobra the last 4 months my interest were quality (many manufactures fit this bill), specific colors (black or blue) and I'm a old hot rodder so I like big HP motors. When looking at different used cars when I found the motor the colors were wrong, when I found the colors the motors were low HP or if I found the right combination the price was north of Hollywood...
I really came back to what I did with 4 of my past cars and that was look for a roller opportunity. Either a new car or used where I like everything and the seller was willing to sell it without the motor/trans.
I agree with several of you that there is usually a buyer for every car and it comes down to being patient and reasonable on your price. Every Cobra and 1 GT40 that I have sold in the past was mostly through Cobracountry.
