Potentially good deal on 2003 Silver Terminator with 55k miles

[VenomVeins]

Figured i’d pass along a potentially good CL deal near me on a Silver 2003 Terminator with 55k miles.

Car has a rod knock after being rebuilt 4k miles ago. Has a Kenne Bell and other mods on it. Pretty clean and he already dropped the price 1k within a 2 day period.

Nope. Came close several times though. Always live vicariously through friends.

Yeah, he already asked what we thought about the sound of his motor. Didn't know he was looking to sell now............

That wasn't his motor. He was looking to buy that car and wanted our opinion before he bought is the way I read it.

not really a good deal with a knock.....you'll still be in it for 18k I bet with 'hook ups' on rebuild / doing some labor yourself.

SHITLOAD of aggravation though.

I agree. Real world rarely works out like an episode of wheeler dealers, especially with these motors.

Okay, thanks for the correction. I just seen the same blower and same options and assumed it was the owner...............

this would only be a deal if you have a shortblock ready to build and your doing the wrenching yourself. I guess if you were looking to build a high compression block this Cobra would be good starting point if the rest of the car is cherry. Buying this you have to expect a engine rebuild. Its a fools errand to expect a timing chain issue or some thing simple.

Owner says the motor was rebuilt fully 4k miles ago, any clue as to why he would spin a rod bearing (thats what he said a shop diagnosed)?

Severe knock, oil pump issue or poor assembly.
