Is this Termi worth it?

rz5.0 · Apr 17, 2014

Exactly. Sometime you just enough don't want to mess with crap. Especially if you have to keep paying someone to fix it.

SMH. Cheapest termi here ive seen is for 16k and with like 150k kms on it.

chris91 · Apr 17, 2014

And this car only has 68k miles. Yeah, definitely worth it even if it had a blown engine. Id snatch it up quick before anyone else does. It IS tax season...

I'd pass I refuse to buy other peoples problems. Been there with the Atlantic blue GT about 5 grand later it was a good car.

In our area that is a really good price with that mod list, I'm betting this guy is just tired of it and needs to get it gone from his life.

Horsepower by Herman is a well known shop also so if they did a run down on the car the list is probably accurate.

Hmmm I have a built Teksid in the garage and a spare IRS too

If this was a vert I would already be in my car.

DropTopPony · Apr 17, 2014

And I too would low ball the crap out of him.

If it was in my area it be apart by now. .

Honestly I wouldn't take the gamble. I was going to be buying a Sonic Blue 03 for $13,500 that had zero issues other than a dent in the passenger door. They're out there, you just have to look for a while and you will find a good one.

Heres a question for you..what made you not get it? In all seriousness Id like to know what stopped you cause Im sure it could help me with a decision on any termi.

The t56 just felt like crap. Something about it I did not like one bit. And driving it, it really felt exactly like my car and really not that much faster. So I figured, hell my car is cleaner and I can make it faster and nicer for wayyyy less than $10,000. Plus the unique factor, you hardly never see a terminator that isn't done up right, and around here there's one of every color within a 30 mile radius, so they're just not that rare.

Well that's depressing. I was hoping a six speed would be a highlight. Well this is something to really take into consideration. Thanks man!

Just my $.02, and others have said it in this thread:

I was burned on my '97 because I got all excited and knew I'd bought a car that was roughed up. Put it back into respectable condition. Even then, it was using oil, and it needed a new trans. If I was going to pay a price premium on a car, I'd be looking low-miles, one owner, stock. Paid $9900 for my GT in 2011; even though that's on the high side of fair, it met every criteria I just mentioned.

It's nice when you don't have to fix the other guy's mistakes and another shop's botches.

Paul · Apr 18, 2014

Run away!

Buying other people's mistakes is just more of a mistake. Don't get suckered.

TanTop94 · Apr 18, 2014

Thanks for all the advice guys! Im gonna skip on this one, like y'all said it's not good to buy into someone else's problems. There's plenty of cobras I can grab for alittle more and not have to worry about getting them to run right and all that.

Buying use is always a gamble. . It's a shame that could be a 600hp car. . To bad I'm way down here. .

You are right, maybe when I have alittle bit more know how on those cars I could chance it. But it's not a gamble worth it to me or for me. I realize the potential of this car, but it's for someone slightly more mechanically inclined.

rz5.0 · Apr 18, 2014

Good point. .

I'll be blunt - that car is a piece of shit.

I guarantee you will put $8k into it easily, and you'll be left with a 64k mile car that has faded paint, whereas for $20k you could have a 15k mile pristine, unmolested original with no problems.

You'll pay the same either way.
