    Swap you Cobra for my GTM?

    Hi all, I am new to this forum and looking for advice for any Canadian interested in swapping a Cobra for my GTM located in Prince George. You can view all details at Augustmotorcars.com where the car is currently located for sale in Kelowna. Thanks for any help or advice, Mike

    seems like Cobras are priced much higher north of the border than down here.

    Yes probably because we can only drive them 3 or 4 months of the year

    the cost of building one in Canada is higher by at least 50%. A big part of that is the lower value of the Canadian dollar, then add shipping costs and higher shop rates for body work.

    i noticed that the dealership you're working with has some cobras listed for similar prices as your GTM. could you consider swapping with one of those owners if they're interested?

    I just viewed the FF5 parts page and noticed most parts are unavailable. Have you guys been able to buy parts or do you buy used from this site?

    you will have to call them to check availability and also note the shipping cost plus fees will almost double the price. I always try to get stuff shipped by US mail. FFR use a courier and you will pay extra fees into Canada.
    I checked out the cobras on the dealer site, the blue one looks nice, the others I am not sure about and would need more details.
