I haven’t even bought one yet ( still looking about ..) but thought I’d ask for anyone’s thoughts on selling privately ?
As in are they a hard car to sell on ?
Quite a spread on prices ( and no doubt quality ) but thinking more selling privately , quite a niche sale I’d have thought . Certainly I’ve been actively looking for a few weeks and private sales seem to be re advertised over and over again .... ambitious pricing or just a hard sell? I reckon that’s why the specialist dealers seem to price way above private to allow for holding stock for a while ?
Any thoughts ?

Hmmm.... you've basically said what I'm thinking. For similar money I could be in an R8 or (another! ) v8 vantage...which would obviously be a safer bet in terms of resale , mad really to be thinking resale when I've not even bought yet but I pretty much change my cars every 6 to 12 months so probably prudent to at least give a nod to it.
Trouble is the Cobra just looks and sounds so good ( to me at least ) and I've long since thought I've got to try one.
Real world problems eh ?

Can also be very difficult to live with day in day out as weather gear makes them look crap but is essential if you actually want to drive it anywhere.
The db replicas hard top is a nice thing.
Wow! Posting pictures like that doesn't exactly make me want one less !

Tell me,in your opinion of course! How is the 3.5 v8 overall ? Quick enough ? Makes the right sound etc ? Seems a lot of choice available 're engine choice, seen a few jag v12s about as well .

Thought so , but surely only the running gear , and again you would think you would refurb parts before re use ?
Something else to check I suppose !
