need help on buying a cobra

[duc996]

k, so i will def. inquire about the known problems with these engines. also what do you guys think is a good price for this car? i guess they were saying to replicate this car would cost $112,000. they sent me a build sheet verifying the cost. i guess the funky snakeskin valve covers and aircleaner on the motor is a $9,000 options and the car has been upgraded with everything the mkiii R has except for the seats.

also are the kirkham cars better than the superformance cars? why? like i said im a newbie to this stuff.

sorry for asking so many questions, just wanna make the right choice.

Can you get your deposit back? Take a breath, look around and make an informed decision. Sure it would cost $112K to replicate, but market forces may beg to differ.

I love my SPF, but the Kirkham is the next step up. Aluminum body, beautiful craftsmanship, etc. Don't waste the money on a bloated SPF when you could buy a really nice example (that you'll enjoy) for a lot less.

Good luck. BTW - The only other post that I hate to see is "I've bought a Cobra...what did I buy?" At least in this case, you'll have an SPF. Just expect to see a chunk of depreciation on it after you drive away.

You're doing the right thing now in asking questions of the people on this forum.
If you check out Cobra Country as somebody has already suggested above, you can scroll through a lot of ads, compare prices and read the specs of the different manufacturer's cars. There are a lot of Superformance cars listed there.
My opinion of the Superformance / Roush you're looking at is that if you bought it and then had to sell it next week, you could probably expect to get $55-60k for it.
Cheers,
