Whatcha think?

Dave04Mustang 05-29-2009 10:37 PM

I'd rather have a newer one

krenogin 05-29-2009 11:53 PM

not that model! ewwwwww, but im stickin with my 6 till she dies a horrible wreck.. im gonna pick an engine up from the junkyard and find a 4.2 and build the shit out of it, and cam it to death.. and have one nice 6',, later add a m112 or PS1C and show v8's how to roll, BUT i wont sound as good =(

PistonsFan102 05-30-2009 05:46 AM

No, just no.

That car is not worth it IMO.

Dodobird223 05-30-2009 08:09 AM

Nah, pass on that bitch. Find a 99+, you'll be WAY happier.

Mr. Zip 05-30-2009 11:06 AM

But it's a 347... O.o I'd way rather have an old stroker than a newer block! I'm a grease head mmmmm

audikillsbmw 05-30-2009 12:55 PM

Engine size is not really a valid argument. I've even seen S197's with big blocks installed. Maybe it's just me, but I always try to buy the newest vehicle that I can afford.

krenogin 05-30-2009 01:18 PM

yeah, i cant trust old vehicles.. like my friend wants a muscle car and he has 1500 to spend, and we found an old 84 camaro with a 355, and he wants it soo bad, but im like dude, its an 84, your gonna have to put 4000 in it to even think about driving it every day, and on top of that its gonna love gas because that time period gas was cheap.. but ya know its whatever makes you happy.. i wouldnt get caught dead in a 94-98.

PistonsFan102 05-30-2009 02:33 PM

Nothing is wrong with the model, its just for that price you can find yourself in a sn95 Cobra.

Morgan The Black 05-30-2009 02:52 PM

Doesnt say anything about cobra brakes, being a clone and all.
But even if it is 15 years old, parts arent hard to come by, and pretty cheap too.
Same chassis as a 99-04, so that kinda comes down to looks.
The only other thing is he doesn't say if he's had it tuned.

Go drive it and if its not doing anything it shouldn't be, I'd offer him like 5k and go from there.

Lazerred6 05-30-2009 02:59 PM

I think it looks sick.

I personally think that the 94-98 look better then the 99-04s but that's just a personal thing and that 347 will be a bit quicker than your average edge gt

LilMissLayla 05-30-2009 03:01 PM

I would go look at it, drive it and offer him less :) Maybe you'll get an even sweeter deal! I don't think it's bad.

SLP02GT 05-30-2009 08:03 PM

Get a Fox body, I did couldn't be happier with it. Just look it over good there is a lot of rusty ones around here

SPiNz 05-31-2009 08:36 AM

your going to downgrade to a car almost 10 years older then yours?

i have seen 01-03 GT's going for $6,500

King 05-31-2009 08:39 AM

I like it. I love the sn95 Cobra's, and that one has a built 347...I say go out, test it and if you like it, throw an offer down on the table.

except when you decide to start modding and find out parts are double the cost of the 5.0 parts :flamed:

i wish i had a 99-04 but im happy with my 95, wont make the switch until the motor blows or she gets wrecked

mustangman95gt 05-31-2009 09:47 AM

:banhim: -99

Find a fox.

and to a certain person who "wouldn't be caught dead" in a '94 - '98, i am very happy with my car, sure it doesn't have those fancy anti-lock brakes, or the super fancy traction control that you can turn off....i find it more fun when you can just dump the clutch and rip away without having to push a button.

Part that makes me nervous about that is who did the work how long ago did they build it, ect. When it comes to a rebuilt motor (yes a stroker is still a rebuilt) I'd rather be the one paying the money for it..because that way I know who did the work ect.

It'd be pretty shitty to buy it, drive it for a couple thousand miles, and then have something like a bearing go..

White04GT 05-31-2009 05:43 PM

Go test drive it. See how she rides and find out the history about the car. If the build wasn't done too long ago, and it drives fine then throw an offer out there.

Mr. Zip 05-31-2009 05:44 PM

UPDATE:

I'm just gonna pass. I won't get a fox because my girlfriend (hopefully fiance soon) and I both want a vert, and vert foxes look weird. My parents sat me down and told me not to grab this one up. They said they have been saving to get me a nicer car than I have for an undergrad graduation present, so if I put money down with theirs I could get a 2005-2009 GT convertible...

White04GT 05-31-2009 05:55 PM

Nooooo get a termi! You can get a 03-04 cobra around 18-20k now days.

Mr. Zip 05-31-2009 06:02 PM

But I need one with under 50k miles. I'm talking more in the 14-17k range

White04GT 05-31-2009 07:21 PM

What makes you think you can't get one with 50k miles or less for that price? KBB on them terminators with 30-40k is about 18 or 19k. People are trying to get 22k-25k for them, but they are also still for sale months later. I have seen a bunch go lately for 18-20k. The one's that are priced that don't last long.

I think I cried a little, there. Think they'd want to trade for a yellow Mach 1? lol

I'd drive to Dallas for that.
