Carl,
A Key West is a great choice
i just tweeked one( 08/09) to get about 45mph(zoom zoom)
but good luck on getting it for $1600 , msrp alone is $1749.
a dealer will also want the cost of freight they paid to get it to them
and his prep fee. then theres tax & license.
but you get a good 2 year warranty.
anyway, i don't think the cobra dealer agreement will allow what you want to do.
the only way to get a "discount" is to buy used . the tabs and plates are
cheaper, if your lucky it will be tabed for a few months and all you have to pay for is
title change.
