Ok, so here's the thing... I want this car. Supposedly the it was a rear collision. I dont mind a car that is not mint....I wouldn't even be able to keep it mint( Once I dropped a shelf on the 99 Cobra in the garage once....and I won't even tell u what happened with the portable garage lol) Would u consider a salvage title? I'm ready for the arrows....My reasoning is that car already has 500 horses... Small changes could easily get another 50-60hp. My cobra is mostly stock and would be alot of sourcing to get that car to a reliable 400rwhp and I'll prolly still get dragged lol Oh, it has 72K on it.
Salvage Title gt500 Ur opinions?

How much ??

damn forgot.......15K
If it is mechanically sound, absolutely. For your purposes that I assume is as a fun driver, that looks good from 10 feet, but may have some flaws. That's a great price in this market, and you can save up some money and improve upon it from there, both cosmetically as well as performance-wise. 650-700ish whp on pump 93 is only 2-3 thousand dollars away.
What year?
I wouldn’t hesitate it it runs/drives/looks half way decent…I’m with you in cars not needing to be mint. Buy them and drive them. Let us know!
07 @ $15,000
sure
Do a compression check prior to buying
A good goal and done right, 700rwhp is in your future

This right here. For $15k I’d say why not, as long as you keep it who cares about what the title says.
Enablers!!! that's what you are...Enablers!! I'll talk to the guy today, see if we can work something out. I'm almost 1000mi away so it could fall threw quite easily. Thx for the input guys!!
couldn't even buy a half way decent Terminator back in the day for that price.
Unless of course it was Screamin Yellow

Yes yes, it's that one. He's a dealer, but daily's the car. Needs some body work and alot of work in the interior... He's on Vacation right now, cant talk to him till I get back....Getting a hold of Lemon Squad. I just wanna know if the frame aint too bad lolcouldn't even buy a half way decent Terminator back in the day for that price.

Well, Lemon Squad shot the car for me....cost me 229$ I think that is way worth buying a car you cant look at. Gave me a full written description of the car. Guy shot me like 160 Pics and i saw alot of things that regular pics did pic up.....but woah, there is alot of cosmetic sh** on that car. She "is" a little tired. But he did say it ran good...but I got Codes for the FRPS, Lean on banks 1 and 2 and Tpms, I am still considering this car tho. It aint worth squat anyway cause of the title, so maybe I can just use mint condition regular GT fenders etc to get her straightened out. I am taking my time.
Just buy mine.
SOLD: - 2011 GT500 Black on Black
24k....Here's an opportunity to buy a nice driver. It's has some milage, but represents sharply. Would make an excellent Daily driver getting over 20 mpg, or a platform to go nuts on and build big. It's a sharp stock ride. Don't believe it was ever tuned. All stock except I switched the axle...

LOL, I would if it were $15000 That thing is too nice to sell!!
I can assure you the extra 9k you’d have to dish out would be well worth it.
Well, Lemon Squad is a little on the pricey side, but wow, I'm impressed. Found like 5 engine codes and took almost 170 pictures!! The add had this car lookin on the better side. The rep showed pics with a pointer to get the relative size of all the scratches and dents! I'm a believer LOL....if ur gonna buy, outta state, call Lemon Squad. NO GUARANTEES THO!! Havin' said that, The paint on my old 92 Lx Salvage was waaay better. I'll be doin paint or a really thorough paint correction.. there's something literally on every panel lol. She's gonna have to be a strip delete too. The seller is still trying to get rid of a few codes...PO193, 173 and 171.....I might have to try to talk him down. I understand what I am tryin' to buy, but DAMN!!
Well, I guess it's not in the cards. Lemon squad pics told me alot and I just couldn't get him down on his price...hes firm at 15,500. To me, it's too much for a salvage car that still has a check engine light and bondo falling out of the rear quarter.... I'm really missing out but it's just not my price
Personally, I’m glad it didn’t work out for you on this one. Just too many red flags. Maybe look for an ultra high mileage (120k+) GT500 that has been well maintained?
Ya, I enjoy "the hunt" when looking for a car.
Now you have another car story to tell.
Keep lookin!
