Superformance MKIII For Sale, lots of extras

[Jim Kellogg]

A little background info on #887...
The car was shipped to the US in 2000. I purchased her new in 2002 from a sub-dealer (Stonebridge Motor Cars) and drove her on a dealer plate until applying for a "Custom Car" title in NYS in 2005. She is titled as a "2005 Custom" (the year she was titled in NY) in New York State and is thus emissions exempt in NY. As such, I don't believe that she would eligible for Canadian import at this time, although I am NOT an expert on such things!

Jim,

Sorry to see that you are selling your cobra. I understand how life can get in the way and sometimes there are hard choices to be made. This is a nice car and should work out well for whoever purchases it. The asking price is very reasonable. I have seen the car several times and it is nice and Jim did take care of the car well, and when needed utilized Superformance dealers for work on the car.

Next time that I am in your area with the cobra I will let you know.

Good luck.

Jim

I'm no expert, just a 'somewhat informed' consumer, but it's my understanding the 15 year eligibility rule is based upon completion. First registration is often used as it's generally something the Canadian Ministry of Transportation can rely upon, but if there was documentation showing the car was completed in 2000, that may work.

Obviously anyone wishing to import such a car into Canada would want to check out the rules very carefully. I've also heard of 'snowbirds' buying cars and leaving (and using) them at their winter residences in Arizona, Texas, Florida, etc. until the cars are eligible for importation. Oh, I wish...
