Potential new owner
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and I've just started to look at cobra's for the first time. I'm looking to buy a second hand one for around the $50k mark. I've noticed a couple for sale for sub $40k on car sales but they have LPG, should I be put off by this? I'm thinking about the future resale value... |
Welcome Stevo
Stevo,
What's do you live? The LPG thing was due to the rego issues in the past, they have relaxed them A bit of late. The gas cars lose some boot space but get great mileage :LOL: and the motor Should be set up for gas. Not a difficult change to petrol it's just money and Maybe re engineering, but a great way to start the Cobra process with your Budget. Stiffy |
straight lpg wouldn't turn me off buying a cobra i actually flew down to tassie from sa to look at one but the rest of the car was not up to scratch . if you like the rest of the car why not it's not like you can fit a full size spare in the boot anyway .
cheers dean |
Steve you're in QLD??? Which part? Come along to a breaky on the Gold Coast or if you're a Northsider come up to CobracarsnCoffee at Coolum on the 8th of November.
There's always people around who may be interested in selling or talking about whats cars are what. Spookypt |
Cheers guys! I'd love to come along to a meet, I'm in Thornlands, South Brisbane. I'm still trying to get my Mrs on board as it means me selling by BMW & Jetski to fund the Cobra...!
|
And the problem is ????? :eek:
Cheers |
bmw & jet ski seems like a small sacrifice for a cobra i reckon my last one cost me a mrs and i still didnt get to keep the car lol

q. why are divorces so expensive. a. because they're worth it. as to the resale on the cheap LPG cobra - as with most things in life (divorces notwithstanding) cheap in = cheap out. the sale price you get will largely be a reflection of the market price now and the degree to which you're able to add genuine value - this can be hard to do with some older kits. get along to a few club meetings - there is a steep learning curve and going through it pre-purchase is preferable (and alliterative) good luck tracking down a car LoBelly:) |
