vegan2,

if you have not visited this website for long, you will find that members can be generous "if" you are genuine and respectful in tone when making inquires and looking for help. Some of these people have a wealth of information that you can obtain for free, if you are nice.

You see.., it takes YEARS to sort out what is what and what is not in Cobraland... as you will see if you spend the time to do the long-form homework assignment about finding the right used Cobra for you.

Three quick things might help narrow it down for you, in my book:

1. Max budget (How much ya got to spare in your wallet?)
2. Intended Use (Trailer queen & shows, street/track, Highway?)
3. Frequency of usage (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly?)

Usually item #1 is the determining factor of what you'll wind up with. I wouldn't get too hung up on the big block vs. small block thing... There is a long list of pros and cons for each. Resale is a consideration, but if that is a primary focus, then you might want to wait until you are really ready to buy a Cobra. I know people that searched for 2-3 years before buying one, and even then, they still keep looking for something better or different... . In closing, it really comes down to what YOU want and like. Good Luck, and welcome to ClubCobra...
