It is currently the only and once that ends it will slide out of existence. Its navigation is archaic.
Its format is horrible. I go there to see what the used market has but given the cost of a good website it is perplexing why it continues in that format. It is incredibly frustrating to use.

Agreed. I've seen a lot of Web sites and I don't like the way the Cobra Country site works - popping up a separate main window, but opening links back in the first window. While I like to see what's on the market from time to time, I cringe every time I go there.

The design may have been current 15 or 20 years ago, but it's well past it's 'best before' date and needs some serious work to better embrace user experience design principles. While they're at it, any overhaul work should focus on mobile as the target - build for mobile and it can be displayed on every device (smartphone, tablet or desktop). BTW, that holds true for pretty much every Web site - not just Cobra Country.

I was just looking into that site myself, but the hefty entry fee, and Jurassic software made me think twice. That is a lot of money in the hole if the car don't sell.

Also, I was looking at a really nice 57 Thunderbird for my wife. I called about one I saw on Craigslist. I started talking to the owner of the bird, and turns out he is a classic car dealer. He told me he had been selling old cars for over 20 years, and the market in in the tank right now.

He said they sold the first car in three months about a week ago. I know summer is the best time to sell these old Snakes, but I think I may hold on to mine for a while longer.
