I hate to have to do this.

Well the time is upon me and the time to offer this car up for sale is here. I have sold my current house and I am in the middle of building my next one just that I could realy use the money to help with the new. I started my time at Club Cobra with the thread that I did not know what to do with this car, I now know what I need to do with this car. I cringe inside at the idea of selling this beautiful machine that I have had the great fortune of owning. :::For Sale

I have had it appraised by Jay N. of jays cobras out of Dallas. He is reachable if need be for any serious buyer. Just give me a day or so to give hime notice and to make sure he has the time to answer any questions of give his opinion for he is busy with all he does. Let me know and I can give you his ways of contact. I would like the car to go to someone who is serious about being apart of the family of cobra owners or someone family member already. This is a great car and runs like a #@%*& IF you can read between the lines. Thanks for the time and interest.

Asking price of $ 53,000.00, obo.(within reason)

Thanks,
DownTown

Hey, guys....I've seen DT's car, and it is indeed as he has represented it...a very nice Superformance replicar. Definately worth his asking price and a car anyone would be proud to own and drive.

....one catch....I won't be buying the new owner lunch, will I...?

[DownTown]

Well I have found my self in a pinch for the funds and now I have to do what I don't like and that is reduce the price of the cobra.

I will be reducing the price of the cobra down to $45,500.00

If there are any questions please refer to the first post of this thread for the answer or just e-mail me jdbtexas@yahoo.com.

Thanks to those who have commented on the car and those who have called on the car as well. Thanks Flyin_Freddie for the assistance and the good word, a gentleman as usual.

Thanks DownTown

Most cobras get sold within 2 years. You're a bit ahead of the curve at 6 months

Thanks for the update on the timeline of the history for the average sale of these cars. However the timeline I am living in with the house situation is a little pressing on me. Let me let you in on a small detail I am currently living with IN-LAWS so the unrgency to get things going and a new house built is pressing. I know why the inlaws because I am four to five months away from completing the new house and mose lease agreements are for six to twelve months and I would rather save that money and seal with the inlaws for the time being. Thanks though for the update and I will keep you updated if I beat the time
