It looks like everyone likes the new cars better. There's another side to this story you need to consider. I've owned new and used cobras for the last 15 years and I can tell you from experience that just because it's new doesn't mean you're not going to have teething problems. These cars are all custom built and because of that, there are always bugs that surface over time. I'm not saying one is better than any other about this. So don't think I'm endorsing one brand over another. But with a used car that's been well maintained, you skip that chapter of the cars history and if you know what to look for (a professionally assembled car) , I think you can financially get a better deal for a more reliable car straight out of the box. Also, lets face the fact that the market is very soft right now. So you can really get a very nice car in the mid 40s that would cost you half again as much brand new right now. That ought to get every one talking!
