Lightbulb A few possible reasons for low mileage at sale:
1) It's just another of many toys, no time to play with them all

2) The power was WAY too much for their skills, OR they were getting too many tickets, and came to their senses quickly?

3) They changed their mind after a few thousand real world miles, and wanted another type of replica, another cobra make, or another type of car altogether.

4) Some insurance co's require limited miles per annum, to keep premiums down

5) They over bought, or lost their job soon after obtaining the cobra. It happens, and toys are the first to go

I will likely put only 3 to 4 k miles per year on my POISSON girl, since I have other vehicles and motorcycles.
