Rest assured you are 20 plus problems ahead buying a well sorted used Cobra over a new one. That being said please understand compared to your dailey driver (Ford, GM, Triumph, MGB) Cobras for the most part are junk. You or someone you hire will be required to work on the Cobra you purchase. You are not going to jump in and tell your buddies all it needs is gas and
oil. If you desire to become mechanically inclined and have the passion there is absolutely no better choice than a Cobra replica, the ownership experience is second to none. If you do not want to get your hands dirty, checking fastners, probably breaking down now and then, then a Cobra is not your best choice in my opinion.
Most feel Cobra replicas are not investments, yet the downside risk is nothing compared to stocks. Buy a marketable color, blue, silver, red, with good paint and body and you will recoup 90% of your purchase price years down the road. I have never lost money on a Cobra, but I seam to be the odd ball more than the norm.
I have owned/worked on 5 different makes. BDR, SPF far outweighed the others, I have never worked or driven an ERA but only have heard nothing but positives.
[quote=JPit;1076804] I am not very mechanically inclined nor do I have the time to build a car myself so I would much rather a used car that is already well “sorted out”.
