Have not been on here for years, are Terminators still relevant?

I run a dealership and the cobra market has skyrocketed. I’m selling cobras for 8-10k more than I would of 2 years ago. Your car is worth a small fortune depending on mileage

Lol definitely up on all cars in general but cobras are considerably higher imo. Either way I feel like the cobra will continue to rise while other used cars decline.

Not to mention the pure nostalgia/history of the terminator cobra. I feel as if it is more revered today then before, rarely seen in my area and I’m sure that’s the same for most.

"Desirable" depends on the person but the prices speak for themselves. They seem to be sought after still....not so much for the performance anymore but for the nostalgia and history. You can get a used 2015 mustang, put a blower on it and beat nearly every Cobra that isn't built out of its mind. I would take my Terminator over said 2015 all day and twice on Sunday.

I might be seeing you twice on Sunday... in my rearview!

...But with sincere respect for the nostalgia and history.
If I had one I wouldn't sell.

Yep....and I am fully aware that my Cobra is no longer the bad boy and hasn't been for some time now. I'm also fully OK with it. :)

They will only go up in value the older they get. Clean cars are hard to find so the stock low mileage cars will bring a premium price wise, I have a modded 04 SY coupe with 13k miles and I turned down $42k for it this summer.

$42K was good money then, but you'd undoubtedly get more today with your SY Cobra only having 13K miles.

I'd say foxbody mustangs are higher. Given the base model was 15-20k less than a terminator new.

I would expect that, considering they were a decade apart. In ten years the price of cars sure went up. And still do.

relevant still. I’m sure your inbox will get flooded soon especially if the millage is low. Unless your strapped for cash I would hold onto it as mystichrome coupes are in high demand right now.

Probably mid-30s, possibly a shade more in today's market. If you post a full description with some pictures, the SVTP Terminator whisperers can drill into it for ya.

Prices in everything is up, but the economy is in the toilet. Unfortunately as the economy is crashing folks are buying more stuff, bolstered by low rates (to encourage continued spending), and stimulus money which is further damaging the economy. Fair chance that there will be a fall. Buying while the price is high is a risk. But there is still a chance the price will never come back down, probably a lot better than many other cars anyway.

All I can say is you guys are singing a great tune.

I own one of each and always keep the miles off as much as possible. They are not necessarily low (46K on the coupe and 77K on the vert), but I don't think that is by no means high either.

They are currently not for sale, but nice to know they may be worth a little more than I paid for them one day.

View attachment 1738098Extremely relevant still. As the cars are approaching the 20 year mark soon the desire to own one will only keep going up. I’m sure your inbox will get flooded soon especially if the millage is low. Unless your strapped for cash I would hold onto it as mystichrome coupes are in high demand right now over verts. I have a 7k mile mystichrome coupe and I just don’t think I could sell, it’s so hard to find a decent one or even people who are willing to sell now so just imagine how hard it will be to find another one in 10 years.
Having a Mystichrome coupe with only 7K miles is huge. The temptation to sell while the market is so high could be tempting for some, but the diehards will say "no way" and continue to hang on to their Mystichromes, especially if mileage is under 20K.

What are your mods? Or is yours factory stock?
