At the top of CobraCountry.com, there's an SPF asking $52,900. I didn't have to even go beyond the 1st listing. It doesn't take a skilled negotiator to get any Cobra listed in the low 50's to be sold in the mid-40 range. Fast cash closes deals, just need a serious buyer and seller.

That might be, a solid maybe.
Obviously there is a fair amount of latitude between any bid/ask but i have'nt heard of much in the way of a sorted SPF with any kind of decent motor that low, let alone common.

Did anyone say "common"? I may have missed where someone said "common."

Look, you can defend your brand, hallelujah. I honestly don't care one way or another other than to say that there are many, I mean, many, SPF's on the market. There's a large supply of them, at least on Cobra Country. No idea about demand, but as I said earlier, it wouldn't take a skilled negotiator to buy ANY $50,000 (asking) Cobra replica for mid-40's. All it takes is a serious buyer and seller. And it's not even winter.

Well, post #2 seemed to indicate just that, and frankly, I'm not defending anything so how about taking it down a freaking notch.
CC has several and they average out a lot closer to $60 not $50.
There has been a fair supply for at least a couple years, but that said, sorted examples seem to go about 5%-10% below ask not 15%-20%.
Not withstanding personal emergencies, etc. have there actually been any decent examples in that area other than the occasional lousy auction result?

"Lousy auction result"? Auction prices are REAL data points and are reported in auction magazines like Sports Car Market, which I receive monthly. There are no lousy results. There are just results.

And, I'm not dialing it up nor will I dial it down a "freaking notch." IMO, you seem to me to be defending SPF prices, which is fine, but the OP must be aware of your inherent bias. You can admit or not, I don't care. You're an SPF owner, so logically you will defend the brand, just like I would defend the Kirkham brand.

In general, Cobra replica prices are soft, because ERA, CSX, BDR, SPF among others, are still building them. There's no supply constraint other than economic conditions and those aren't very good right now for many areas of the country. I'm just talking about buying ANY Cobra replica that is asking in the $50,000-$60,000 range for mid-$40,000. It can and has been done.

All the %'s you state are just guesses, since none of us have any hard data. But I'll try to remember to post here a real result when I come across one in the future.
