Not sure what the video was, but I am involved in both the Terminator and GT500 communities. The GT500s have been and will continue to depreciate for a long time. The low price point for the Terminators has come and gone. With only a 2 year run, the birth of modern forced induction, the IRS rear-end and specialty models like the 10th Anniversary and Mystichrome packages have made the Terminators a great collectible and values have reflected this.

It was about connecting rods mostly
And some history on why the 03 was built

These car won’t see price jump properly many years from now. Mabe 10-15 years . Hell the 04 comp orange cobra sold for under $40k at BJ auction . These cars never gonna be 100k + like the 97 Toyota Supra sold other day .

What I’m try to say is . Let enjoy driving these cars . I’m not try to save the car hope some day I can get my moneys back . I am taken it out and drive more often now . Sorry I try make this post positive as possible

I agree. It has held value well, but I think the niche of people who respect and appreciate the Terminator aren't big enough to drive up the price.
I dont daily my 03, actually it is a garage queen. But I enjoy for what it is. There is no part of me that feels the need to keep stock parts, or document everything on this one.

You’ll either kick yourself later or a future owner will have the challenge of finding original stuff.

The Terminator is a future collectible. It’s not just your average Mustang.

For goose low miles collection . I do agree with him to keep that way , but if your terminator above 50k miles , no point of saving it any more . Let just enjoy for what it’s .

I disagree. The low mile ones will be more collectible but 50k isn’t high mileage on these cars they’re 16 years old. That would be around 3,125 miles a year. They only made these for two years.

IMO ones regardless of the mileage will always be held in higher regard or pull more weight as far as a sale if they still have all all the stock parts and or paperwork with the car. That is what I will prefer when going to buy one in the not to far off future.

Yes... this! Selling off stock parts for a few bucks is short-sighted. I see this amplified in the 2000 Cobra R market, where original parts are almost non-existent. If a car comes up for sale missing some original stuff, the price or lack of sale readily reflects it. You don’t get a ton of money selling off original parts, my collector advice is to keep the parts with the car, regardless of miles.

The car I bought a couple days ago has averaged 5 miles per year since new. As a collector, I would have looked elsewhere if parts were missing.

When I get one if there are stock parts missing I'll go and find the ones that are not there. I have no issues buying a stock eaton even if it has a VMP sitting on it.

Because the video linked was a spamming video whore here. His videos were ok Year’s ago then just got stupid. He is banned, OP posted his video. The guy went as far the video maker to have a dupe account here and suck his own well you know.
