Gotta sell the terminator, need advice

[chewbaccajones]

I have only a JLT intake and Flowmaster catback. Should I put the stock intake and catback on before listing or just offer it with the sale? Any advice on a price? It is a 2004 White vert with 42k miles.

[Ethan@S3M]

Call me cause I still have your stock parts

I don't think the mods will hurt the selling ability.
How many miles?

[chewbaccajones]

Ah, sorry, 42k miles.

[BurnTire]

Ah, sorry, 42k miles.

Well I know its clean. I would say high 20's, but in this economy who knows.

[chewbaccajones]

but in this economy who knows.

Hence the reason for the sale. Just want to find something a third of the price with the same amount of power.

[svtrichie]

Sorry that you have to sell, I would also say it's worth mid 20's but in this market, you will be lucky to get that.

[fazm]

that sucks man. ya the conomy blows right now.

id guess 25-26k for it

I know Silver03snake got offered around 24K for his coupe.

[WildBill]

$24,400- $25,600

[BLK03SVT]

Bill's right on- there's one for sale on craigslist for 25 (started at 28) with 11k miles.

What are you going to buy if you sell it?

[chewbaccajones]

I've seen a few mid 90's with decent setups. Something like this. (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&rdpage=thumb&car_id=242617085&dealer_id=62412777&car_year=1995&model=MUST&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&start_year=1988&keywordsfyc=__c3VwZXJjaGFyZ2Vk__&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=115117112101114099104097114103101100&keywordsrep=&engine=8+Cylinder&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=500&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&make=FORD&keywords_display=supercharged&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=85045&advanced=y&end_year=1998&doors=&transmission=&max_price=13000&cardist=294) Just something under $13k that was put together right and not rigged. I think someone here is selling their 97 supercharged cobra for around 11 or 12. I'll get another Terminator eventually just because it is a sweet ride but next time around I will get one that is already Whippled or KB'd.

[03cobrazzz]

keep it you will not find one in this condition again and these cars hold their value verry well get somthing cheap and make it a weekend toy.you can get specialty insurance when you have a primary car and that drops your insurance in half.dont sell it.

I hear you on that one. It's tough though because you never know if your inheriting someone elses garbage (ie incorrect tune yada yada). It would be nice to purchase one modded though where someone else has taken the hit on all the dough needed for the mods.

That 98 looks clean though. I know it's been in a minor wreck but nothing major, and the replacement paint job looks awesome from here.

[chewbaccajones]

Thats the thing, just taking the time to find one that someone took care with. Find a car that someone does not really want to sell but has to and it will probably be a nice car. It kills me to see the bad ass fox bodies out there with a stroker motor and a power adder pushing 500+ hp with the stock brakes and 4 lug setup.

[5.0Stanger]

I'd go with what Andy said. I drive my '03 on weekends or to FFF. If the mood strikes me, I drive it to work. But, I wouldn't drive it daily, unless I had to. That's why I have my '93 Notch. It gets 8 more mpg than the '03, and cost me 1/10 the price. And, I still have people thinking it's a 5.0, just by the look it has. You can still park your 'vert and get specialty insurance.

[chewbaccajones]

I'd love to keep it but that $500/month will help. I'm selling the ghetto moblie (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&rdpage=thumb&car_id=243713023&dealer_id=62526173&car_year=2005&model=DURANG&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&start_year=2005&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&engine=8+Cylinder&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=25&marketZipError=false&color2=&search_lang=en&make=DODGE&keywords_display=&color=BLACK&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=85045&advanced=y&end_year=2005&doors=&transmission=&max_price=&cardist=0)too. If it gets much worse this year, I may sell one of my kidneys.

so how much are kidneys going for these days? probably cheaper than gasoline

[chewbaccajones]

I'm thinking $10k or so. I could do the ol' bathtub full of ice routine and just take someone elses and sell it. Maybe I'll sell a kid or 2 on ebay. The sky's the limit, you just gotta think outside the box.

it kills me too being i own a "bad ass foxbody pushing 500 hp" with 4 lug and stock brakes. i guess i was just more worried about getting there than i was about stopping. as far as four lug... whats the problem??? its not like you need five lugs for anything other than sub 8 second runs(which you need a lot more than 500hp for) or for more wheel choices. truth is its just a money thing. it was "put nitrous on the car, or buy brakes". what would you have done? then again after looking over my receipts from last year, with the $750 i spent on filling my nitrous tanks over and over again, i could have bought aerospace brakes. but id just rather be fast, since i cant afford to do both.... yet. if you are like me, your car is never done, and there is a reason for everything :goodidea: if you are serious about foxes go here www.corral.net. you WILL find what you are looking for.

dont take my idea but i wanted to sell my whole life on ebay... house, cars, lawnmower, clothes, furniture, even the dog for the right price. for only 10k i think ill keep the kidney though. with my luck they'll try to say something is wrong with it and want a refund.

[wickedcobra]

I will give you 29.95 for one Kidney. LOL

[CDW63]

Good luck on the sale, sorry to see your white vert go. I hope things pick up for you soon.

Well, going 5 lug really does not matter, just gives more wheel choices but the brakes are important. I had a 93 back in 94 with the standard for the day bolt on parts and I know from experience that one slow down from 120 to 40 will get the brakes smoking and hardly working. The cobra's come with decent brakes but could always use better pads. I'm not much of a drag racer but I like the mountain roads so the brake department is important to me. Do you have 500 hp with the drums in the back?

yup... and it sucks. i agree with you... i just never had the funds for quality brakes. its not by choice.

[chewbaccajones]

I checked out coral.net and the do have some decent rides for the range I am looking.

[wickedcobra]

Sounds like stang boy needs to upgrade the brakes. Since I am passing on the ZO6 and keeping the Termi I am thinking of upgrading mine as well.

yea and the forums are a wealth of knowledge.

yes i will if i ever get around to it... and... if i can bear to spend my loot on stuff to NOT make my car faster..LOL! seriously though... the brakes are really at thier limit. i realized it at the track when i could barely slow down at the end of the 1320. at island dragway in nj there is a turn when you exit. i though i wasnt gonna make it... then i smelled that oh so familiar smell of clutch slippage... only it was the brakes.

btw... there is no comparison between a zo6 and a terminator. and its not all just about performance... its also about attitude. id pass up a vette for a mustang any day.:biglaugh:

I agree now, I just drove one and I wasn't impressed really. Dollar for Dollar the Termi is the best deal out there.

yea... and you're not riding on a 2x4. at least thats what i though of my dads vette.
