On the other hand, Whiter, if this particular car is pretty much exactly what you want then a couple of grand in the price really shouldn't matter. Your only other alternative to getting exactly what you want is to pay one of the "big name" companies to build your car to your specs. Trust me, you will pay a premium for that luxury.
In the long run, if you are truly bitten by the Cobra bug, then the fun you get out of this hobby is well worth the couple of grand that might make the difference between a "decent" price and the
"I got a killer deal" price.
