Looking for Canadian Cobra

[markham51]

SD, sincere thanks for taking the time to lay everything out in such detail! Well written and researched, thank you very much. You have saved me a whole lot of time and effort... better spent on finding the right car. I have exhausted all of the sources you provided and it is apparent, the right car for me is not out there at the moment (in Canada that is). There are a couple of vehicles that are out there that I would buy, but they are not at a reasonable price for a used vehicle IMHO, eg. Superformance at Toyota Barrie at 114k (plus tax). There are build out options... but those get to be just too expensive with the right engine. I only spend about 5 months a year in Ontario and don't want to have yet another 100k invested for a cruise or two.

It may very well make sense for me to own a US vehicle. The market place is full of cars that meet my criteria (roller with modern power plant). While it means I won't be able to drive it in Canada, it would allow me to drive a vehicle I have always wanted to own without a lot of hassles.

In the mean time, I will keep on looking.


Thanks again!

Mark - The simple truth is that you're spoilt for choice in the U.S. right now. The better quality Cobra replicas in Canada, like Superformance, are somewhat inflated in value due to their rarity. The SPF at Jackson Toyota is priced ridiculously high and will never sell at that price IMO; the blue SPF in B.C. is more fairly priced for this market I think. Am glad to have helped and wish you all the best in your Cobra hunt.
