New Terminator Owner

[vinny89gt]

I've been perusing these forums for the last couple months while I was searching for my first Terminator. I sold my 95GT about 5 years ago while beginning a new job. Since then I got engaged and we bought a house.

With my financial situation stabilized, I finally picked up one and I couldn't be happier. I cannot believe how much faster this thing is stock versus my 95 GT that I poured thousands into (306 HCI).

It's a 10th with 37k miles and, besides a ripped parking brake boot, was in absolutely immaculate condition. I probably overpaid a tad, but for the condition and it being stock, I couldn't pass it up.

I look forward to gaining lots of knowledge from you guys. :beer:

Congrats man. She's beautiful. What did you put out for her?

 

[vinny89gt]

$21,500. Like I said, probably a little too much but I didn't want to buy one that someone had already modded and beat on.

Not a bad price at all. Welcome to the Torch Red club! You'll love the color. I wish mine was a 10th anni though lol

Congrats, and nice car! If you lived out here that price would be a great deal for the mileage.

 

[vinny89gt]

Thanks, guys.

I already got my color matched JLT CAI in the mail, and I think springs are next. I thought H&R Race springs was the easy choice then I dove into the Spring thread. Now I can't decide.

Welcome to the 10th Anniversary club. Beautful car.
IO don't think you overpaid at all considering it's unmolested.
(oh, and welcome to the still-stock-Cobra club too....)

Congrats and welcome, I wasn't far in front of you...had mine a week and a half. Price IMO wasn't bad, for comparison my TR 10th Anniversary with 23K miles in the same super clean, unmolested condition was $22,500.

I recently purchased a Terminator as well and I spent TONS of time in the spring thread. I decided on H&R race springs and I'm not going to use isolators. I'll put some red duct tape around the upper coils just so there's no metal/metal contact. From what I can tell around here the Race springs are the perfect height. Congrats on your purchase. Start saving, the mod bug bites HARD!

svt4me38 - Do you belong to any clubs in NoVa? I work in Manassas and I live in Linden, not far from you at all.

Congratulations and welcome aboard, decent price too!

Nice ride and I think you should be happy with the price. I paid 23k for mine in August for a stock 03....enjoy it!
