Smile buying advice

I read a post from a guy in Tenn a couple of weeks ago that bought a Cobra off Ebay. He posted that if he was not a man of his word he would not have paid for the car when he went to pick it up. A week later he bought one located 6 miles from his house. He now has two Cobras and had to buy his wife a high priced toy.
Take your time and chose carefully.

I know of a Cobra that sold to an our of state buyer a few years back. We he came to pick it up he would not pay the full price because the paint was so bad. The seller reduced the price $2,000.

Last winter a friend bought a Cobra that did not meet reserve on EBAY for $38,000. He called the owner a few week after the auction ended and bought it for $32,000. Perfect paint, 427 side oiler, top loader, had to be a $45,000 to $55,000 Cobra. The only problem was the MoMar fuel injection needed tuning.

Pictures look good, people over sell their cars. Be careful.
