Also saw a Vert in Minnesota on here several months ago. Had about 15k miles for 19K. A RF Vert in Arizona with 500 WHP with 58k for 17k that my brother looked at for me. TR Vert in Michigan for 16k with 60k miles. A member on here from my home town had a vert with 15k miles for 19.5k, probably should have bought that one. A Vert in Louisiana with a kenne bell and 600 whp with 55,000 miles for 18-19k.

Verts do sell lower as less people want them
Also saw a gray 2003 coupe for $17k with 30,000 miles on it in Oklahoma. Passed it up because I wanted a vert at the time. And I saw another coupe in ok city with 60,000 miles for $15k several months ago.
The good deals exist... But treads like this get everyone's panties in a bunch when there nest egg is devalued. Fact is the OP can find his car, he just has to look! It's not going to fall in this add because as soon as this fair priced Cobra exists I bought it already lol
It's easier, more convenient and more comfortable to buy a car that's close. Maybe it's not hard to buy an out of state car, but I've never done it and would prefer something closer.
I just sent the OP a link to a car that is a decent deal. Not sure if it's quite what he's looking for but it is awesome looking car with a Kenne Bell.
Oh the he can no doubt
Maybe not a whipple car but for 17k you can certianly find a decent terminator. Certianly not my nest egg. Mine are just toys

Not saying it applies to everyone. But what the OP wants does exist, he will have to earn it though. I'm not the only one lurking
I'm lurking too, but I won't buy one unless it's a good deal. I don't like to overpay for things and if I don't get one I'll be better off anyways. I'll save a lot of money over the long run. If I was smart I would sell the GTO and get out of the car scene. Cars are nothing but trouble and are usually more expensive than fun. There are a lot better, cheaper alternatives to have fun than fast cars. Or, you could buy a sport bike for half the price and probably never lose to a car, but you might not live as long.
Well, I saved about $10k and in process got a very comparable car stock vs stock performance wise with the nod going to the cobra. However, the GTO has a much nicer interior and better fit and finish inside. (The doors on the cobras are awful, as they come apart easily, I had a 96 cobra.) Not to mention much better gas mileage and much cheaper insurance. I pay $60/month for the goat and was quoted $115/month for the cobra. I want a cobra because I want a modded cobra that is faster than the goat cause I don't want to do H/C/I on the GTO, and like the fact that the car has an amazing supercharger whine.
No hate from me, for people who are looking like you are, nor any hate for their reasons. I only give shit when people complain that these cars are not worth the asking price. They ARE worth the asking price, the buyer not being able to afford one or not wanting to spend that on a car means exactly ZERO. if one waits long enough a good deal will come around, or a seemingly good deal will come around and they will get burned because they went cheap.
Had a guy offer me 25k for my CO the other day. I got a nice laugh out of it at least
Thats funny. I had 3 offers on my CO terminator within the last few months for mid $2o's too.
I agree, like the Boss 429, these cars will hold value.
I had an older guy tell me that back when the Boss 429's were 20 years old, you could still find one for mid $20's. They were hard to find but still someone who really wanted on could get one. He said people thought they were overpriced. Now they are impossible to find and hit 6 figures easy.
Nobody buys a 67 Shelby GT 500 or 70 Boss 429 because it drives as nice as a new 5.0 or new shelby hahaha
Good deals do exist, you just have to be patient. I bought my whipple cobra with 70k for 15k. It never gave me issues. Took me two years to find one for a great price. Did the same for my c6 zo6.
Some of these cars are priced reasonably but $30-40K? That's ridiculous. And when you say they're worth the asking price what do you mean? I've been on this sight for more than half a year and have found that prices can vary by $5-10K on comparable cars. You can tell the reasonable ones and you can tell the ones where people think their cars are God's chariot or something and really aren't serious about selling. I would say maybe a $1-2K over book value might be reasonable but people who want $10-$20k over book value don't realize that the banks won't lend near that and it might be difficult to find a buyer.
dude really?????????
^^ok, we understand your take on the terminator market. Let let it go unless there is a good priced car for the OP
I sent him a link of a car. I was just responding to RDJ's post
Must be a 1999 he's looking at. LS2 sounds like a guy who my have been smoked a few too many times by 03-04 Terminators.
High quality entertainment right here red neck lol.
You have no idea what you are talking about. The best part is that the more you try to down-talk a Terminator, the more you are really talking-down on the more inferior GM LS2 since a Terminator out-performs a GTO :lol: Keep saying how inferior a Terminator motor is that's capable of 1,000 HP on the stock long block. How about your Goat? I don't see crowds of people still trying to get all over them for performance :lol:
Get you facts straight too. You didn't even know the Cobras had a forged rotating assembly until I told you. Oh yeah, stock Terminators and stock 5.0s dyno the same (360-380). Bolt on/ pullied terminators dyno the same or higher than bolt on 5.0s, and in this case we are talking about $20k terminators like mine that see an easy 600-800rwhp... more than any 5.0 for the price, and the same numbers or better as a '13-14 GT500 for 1/3 the price tag. Oh, and do some more research on the 13-14 GT500- what size blower does it have? hmm. Keep wishing you had a terminator
The only thing you can do is keep comparing a newer engine to an older one, both produced by Ford, both produced with different strategies in mind (N/A vs Boost). At the end of the day, the terminator is still strong in the game, taking down Hellcats, Z06s, ZR1s, ZL1s, CTS-Vs... need I go on? Just because they are older doesn't mean their HP numbers get suspended. They Still TERMINATE all day long :rockon:

Who are you calling a red neck? I'm not even close to being one. I bought a GTO because it's cheap horsepower. I could say the same thing about Cobra owners. Most of them are ghetto douchebags who say things like do you even lift bro? It's sad that you are so biased that you can't debate something without resorting to name calling. Capable of 1,000 HP? Yeah for about 5 seconds maybe, most people who are hitting those high numbers are going to do some engine work to make sure the engine can handle it. I know a lot about terminators, but I've also talked to lots of people about their cobras and lot of them have had to rebuild their engines well before 100k. Pullied cobras are very fortunate to last past 100k without a rebuild. They can take lots of power and last. Can being the key word. A highly modded car vs a stock car isn't really a good comparison. Look at the hellcat, 707 HP with only 11.6 PSI of boost. Not bad for pushrods. Also, yes, there are a lot of people interested in GTOs. LS engines are one of the most mod friendly engines are used to make lots of power from what I hear. Furthermore, calling the GTO names doesn't bother me. I didn't build it or have anything to do with the design of the car. It's not that great of a car. It's pretty much just a rebadged Holden Monaro. It's no secret that GM just increases displacement to increase horsepower because it's the cheapest way to do so. GM, just like most car companies could care less about the consumers. All they care about is money, which is why they cheap out on their engines and just increase it's displacement.
