[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16945836, member: 6727"] Do you have at least one other car in your household? Because I wouldn't recommend daily driving a Terminator. You CAN, of course, but it's going to be a rough-around-the-edges ride and (as already mentioned) you're going to pile on the mileage very quickly. If this will be your only car, find another high-performance car that you can truly enjoy as a daily driver. The S550 Mustangs fit that bill. Also remember that Terminators are not 20 years old, so you'll have to expect parts are going to fail or wear out, upping your maintenance costs. Some OEM parts aren't even available any longer. The C6Z is a nice, fun ride but really doesn't make a nice daily. Now with say, an S550 Mustang GT, you get high performance, more comfort, better over technology/engineering, likely less maintenance, more creature comforts, and more features. If this is truly going to be a second, "weekend" type, car, go for it. These Cobras are generally fun to drive and when they're running well with no issues, always will put a smile on your face. The dealership sounds like a good one, so that's a big plus. You definitely should get it re-tuned if you buy it, for engine safety and your peace of mind. As suggested, get the car checked over, including a compression check of all cylinders. When you test drive it, overcome the initial WOW emotions and really focus on how the car drives and feels. Brakes. Shifting. Engine smoothness (ie. no missing, hesitations, etc.). Suspension smoothness. Internal controls. Take your time with this. I hope that (1) this really would be a weekend type of car vs. a daily driver, and (2) that everything works smoothly for you if you decide to buy it. [/QUOTE]
