My wife and I visited SAI in July and there was five or six Cobras around, maybe more so they're staying busy. The problem facing SAI has been the demand for the cars has exceeded the supply so that played a significant part of the price increases. The other problem has been getting parts from vendors, which have either gone out of business or have discontinued parts that were used on the Cobras. Obviously they’ve sourced other suppliers or they wouldn’t be shipping cars today.
Personally, I’m disappointed with all of the drama tied to the Cobras. What should be an exciting experience, as it has for some like Doug, has turned into a wretched event for others. Excluding the two issues I had with Becker (which irritated the pi$$ out of me), my transaction was relatively painless. For those who are experiencing a delay in taking delivery of your CSX, it will happen but the question is how long will you have to wait?
