[QUOTE="07s197gt, post: 16195020, member: 179938"] Hi, Long time lurker/first time poster in this section I'm in the market for a new car as I'm getting ready to sell my 3 valve. I have adored terminators for years now and I'm in a position in my life to finally buy a sub 65k mile one based on what I'm seeing them list for. That being said I'm having a tough time justifying spending 17-22k for a 15 year old ford that's based off of an ancient design. Car Technology has come a LONG way and 20k can get you some pretty decent toys now. Right now I'm stuck between getting a terminator or a C5 z06. Both are old cars however both can still play in 2019. I'm also considering an 11-14 GT although after owning an S197 car, I'm not really a fan of them. Now maybe mine wasn't a great example as I bought it with 114k and it kept having annoying issues. I keep reading that the s197 is such a better car than an sn95 based mustang but I can tell you from firsthand experience that these cars do NOT age that well. Mine leaked water in the cabin TWICE from different locations (thanks Ford). If i get a terminator it will obviously be older but it will have significantly less miles. 3 main things are keeping me from 100% pulling the trigger on a termi(it's still the one I'm leaning the most towards) 1) spending 20ish k on a 15 year old car 2) a C5 z06 costs exactly the same however it can also stop and turn unlike the termi (I'm aware that the c5's aren't as reliable/stout cars and that's why I'm leaning towards a termi) 3) Is the SN95 truly a bad platform to live with? None of the options would be a daily driver for me. Also If I get a termi I wouldn't want past 450 whp. I'm also done with paying for modifications on cars. Most termis for sale are pullied with bolt ons so I will probably find one with the power already. Anyway I'm curious to hear from longtime termi owners. If you didn't have a termi right now and were in the market for a new toy with a budget of up to 22k, would you guys consider getting another Terminator in 2019? [/QUOTE]
