hey everyone, I'm Scott. I'm looking at purchasing my first terminator. I've owned a few old muscle cars, but never a true performance car. I've been looking for a low mileage clean car that will be dependable and fun to drive around the city. I've found an 03 zinc yellow terminator convertible that I'm interested in looking at, and then purchasing if it's everything he says it is. Anything I specifically need to look for when I go to inspect this car. Below is all the information I have about the car. I feel like the guy has been very honest and meticulously maintained his car.
-13k miles
- February 2003 build date
- 2 owner car. 2nd owner had it for 5 1/2 years. Has all documentation.
only mods
- upper pulley
- exhaust
- CAI
- Short throw
Questions
- He's sent over videos, I don't hear any ticking. Is this something that would have happened by now if the engine were going to tick?
- With it being very low mileage should I have any other concerns?
- Most guys don't seem to have any huge issues with these cars, but is there anything else I need to specifically look for or ask him?
Finally, I know this is kind of a loaded question, but what price range should I be in. Prices on these cars are all over the place. Finding a lower mileage, clean car seems to be close to impossible for a reasonable price.
Thanks for the help, and I look forward to being part of the SVT community!
