What would you do??

01-16-2002, 11:23 PM

I really love my 89 but that Terminator is really calling my out. My car is pretty nice(in my opinion) but it has a few tuning issues that I need to work out. It 'needs' a new 2 1/2" hood, rear end needs alittle work, charger needs upgrading, needs a rollbar(for the track), 130 amp alternator.. you know.. the finishing touches that will cost a few thousand and the car will be done.

I could part it out and sell it or sell it like it is(did I mention I love this car?). I've had the car since 91, I was 22 at the time. I think the car is really a big part of me but I know the terminator could be as well..

I know the decision is mine but... What would you do??

I'd go Terminator.... "Ah'll Be Baahck..."

OnMy3rdStang · 01-17-2002, 12:37 AM

I have never gotten rid of any of my cars...Too much sentimental value plus I want to have Buku cars LOL

This is just me but I would stop with the mods on the 89 and start on the Terminator and when you get more finacially stable then you can start back up on the mods on the 89

Thats just my opinion

I'd buy a Shelby GT350....was that an option????? hehehe

95mustanggt · 01-17-2002, 09:30 AM

While I'm sure that your older stang is very nice, the Terminator will be a collectors car. It will hold value and be very rare (not that good condition Fox's are easy to come by). I imagine that I'll only see a couple Terminators driving around, and this is only if I stay in Dallas, 'cause nobody in Canada will have one.

I'd go Terminator.

7000rpmisheaven · 01-17-2002, 01:33 PM

This is my opinion. The appeal behind the terminator is that it is rare and will be a collectors item. But I wouldn't care about everyone else. The terminator, 20 years from now, would most likely be more valuable than a regular fox. But I don't care about that either. I love my mustang and it is priceless to me.

Only problem with that is ! what you could do yourself ,and what everybodys been doing now for about 13 yrs.. ford will escalate the price ,and it probably won't be worth it . mark my words..

RAGE_5.0 · 01-17-2002, 08:04 PM

how much would you want for your car?

01-17-2002, 09:46 PM

RAGE, I could part it out and put it close to stock and clear a good little bit though if I were to sell it.. I'd rather sell it like it sits. I wouldn't consider less than $10k for the car, as it sits. That may seem high to you but it seems low to me... I think that is a reasonable price. $10k would be a good down payment on a Terminator. I wouldn't pay over $39k for a Terminator though.. I have a bad feeling they are gonna want close to $45k for it, in which case... I'd rather buy a used z06 or keep what I have.

Stang_Crazy · 01-17-2002, 11:16 PM

I'd go for the Terminator also. But it doesn't matter if it's going to be a collectors car or not. I can't see buying a car for 40K just to let it sit because it's a collectors car. Cars are meant to be driven.

The reason I would want a Terminator is because it has 400+hp. That is 400hp and NO TUNING INVOLVED and a warranty to boot

. That is the only reason a Terminator is appealing to me. I would actually rather it not be collectible so I wouldn't feel guilty about having some fun in it. If I were to sell my car to get this car.. it would replace the 89, meaning it would be a daily soldier and be ready for the daily grind.

Unit 5302 · 01-18-2002, 12:20 AM

Quite frankly, I don't trust any of those independant predictions on a Mustang model that Ford hasn't begun production on. The Terminator doesn't fit within Ford's current philosophy or charachter.

I remember the 1994 Mustang GT was going to have a high revving 4.6L making 350hp too. That was about 1992.
