Terminator value go down lately
- Thread starter BADBOYSVT
- Start date
The winter is not the best time to be selling these cars. Prices fluctuate from season to season.
Depends ..
For reference I just paid 20.5 for a 55k DSG aluminator/tvs/rxt/fore/kooks car.
Not the cleanest but nice enough.
Also sold my 27k Mile 2.9 whipple, cams, rxt, ftbr, kooks, fore Mystichrome for 25k.
I'd rate that car at a 7.5-8/10.
I probably overpaid slightly for the DSG and undersold the MC a bit.. but I'm happy with both transactions.

Definitely not coming down in price in Canada. If anything they have gone up here. Its high demand car here and their are so few available. Mid summer you be lucky to even find 10 for sale across the entire country.

The price curve on condition is steep. Also, if I guy must quick sell in winter, the price will reflect it.
Winter time prices go down. Who wants to buy one of these cars then when it’s going to sit. Unless your in Texas, Florida, or Cali. Winter is a better time to buy.
Some prices maybe falling too when it comes to people desperate to sell. Seeing as it’s harder to get a loan on these cars now.

Why?? I think nice clean decent mileage cars have plateaued and this is probably as low as they’re going to get.

I don’t even have a retirement fund, my money is being invested in Terminators. Better return than gold bullion
It's hard to justify the premium for a Terminator anymore. They once had the bang for the buck going for them and now that's gone. Every performance car has eclipsed the Terminator. You only buy a Terminator now, because you really love them.
What kills it for me, is everything that needs upgraded to make 550+ hp. Look at a well modded Terminator, the mods list is very very extensive.
The only reason to buy a Terminator is because you have to have a Terminator. Performance is no longer a viable selling factor.
I LOVE terminators, but there are just so many cool cars to own right now.

For + - ~ $20 grand?
Like the hellcat ? Or ...
I'm in the market for a clean fox coupe. Crazy, my max budget is 15k and that might include shipping it, ect.
For that price I question buying another terminator. But I've always had a sweet spot for foxbody mustangs and regret selling my 92....

Gotta disagree.
To build a Terminator clone you'll be $20k into a GT or Mach 1.
Coyotes sound like ass compared to a 4V.
Early GT500's are ugly and when new the extra 100hp was lost to the extra weight.
Cobra has built a massive cult following based on being the first boosted American Muscle that put the hurt on the street racing scene. Hell, a slightly modded Cobra is still going to ruin a brand New stock Coyote owners day and look and sound way cooler doing it.
People thought the Supra platued 10 years ago at $40k, now we're seeing 6-figure MKIVs.
A few other key points.
Last of the small mustangs.
Last of the Fox Chasis
First IRS Cobra ('99)
First Blower Cobra (modern)
First Forged Short Block (exclud. Pistons)
First Social Media Darling
Last SVT
Free of cheesy "Shelbyyyy" gimicking.
Then we have the whole legacy of how this car beat the bean counters and loaded up a 24 year old chasis with the best of the best in 2003 to take a giant crap on Chevy and the 2003 Camar.....ohhhh
The other enjoyment is similar to why people love the Air cooled Porsche 911. The sketchy suspension makes it thrilling to drive. The engine isn't as modern as a Coyote but it just sounds so much better. The shifter, steering wheel and seating position are all awkward and give the car a very unique feel. If you been in an old 911, it's a very similar "so cramped but can't reach anything feeling".
The S550 is also a touring sports car in proportion, capabiltuy, feeling and handling. It doesn't have that sloppy raw shit yourself muscle car feel that a Terminator has.
So if anything, the fact that you can build a good replica for $20k is actually what is keeping prices down. If we didn't have GT and V6 New Edges, prices would be a lot higher.
You better get ready for when the early GT500's being priced lower then the Terminator is the norm. Already having overlap.

For that price . I do get another coupe terminator . I have many Fox body in my life and most of them start develope rust some where . Also single stage paints .... I love to buy another foxbody coupe but not 15k . Ac and heat work 500whp+ . Take a lot more moneys for a foxbody to reach that . I can’t down grade
I'm not really looking for a modded super fast fox. I just want the "looks". My 92 engine was stock. But super clean with 39k miles when I sold it in 09.
Sorry not trying to hijack thread.
