Just found a black vert local, 45k miles. 3rd owner who purchased in April this year from a friends wife who purchased it in 2007 with 42k miles. Current owner is later 40's/50's who recently found out he has cancer and is taking a leave of absence etc from work. Both him and his dad were there and seemed like solid dudes. ONLY mods he knew of were K&N intake, window ting, and magnaflow exhaust...seemed like just an axle back from what I could tell trying to look under the car. Was by no means loud.
Garage kept at least since 2007, very clean but did have the hood(replaced)/bumper resprayed several years back(not a huge fan of this but seems rock chips etc are fairly common and for my price range EVERYTHING can't be perfect). Hood is FORD OEM, apparently something fell on it in the garage with last owner. Top looked brand new so did interior except for some wear on the typical driver bolster.
This was my first time driving a terminator so my initial thoughts to make sure I'm not nuts and this is normal. Surprised at the clutch...was HARD to push, stalled the car first time. It's not unbearable...I'm 6'3" and somewhat athletic but man I was surprised how stiff a factory clutch was. There were a couple rattles here/there while driving...something appeared to rattle on the passenger side glovebox/front engine compartment. Couldn't identify it and he couldn't even hear it. Was also surprised at the gearing...40mph in 1st felt like no biggie...guessing these are factory gears I'd want to replace. Was pleasantly surprised at the ride quality over bumpy roads, that IRS is nice
SO....he's asking $17.5K and I could work him down a bit I'm sure. Buy it? Reservation is I was hoping to find one with a few more mods on it as I'm not looking to dump $5-$10K for suspension/headers/ported blower etc etc, I'd like to do at the VERY minimum I want pulley's, gears, shifter which I have no problems spending a few bucks on, probably need to free up the exhaust a bit more?
Guess I should run a carfax..
